I really like your Indian recipes, and learned to make many spices from you. People who visit my house don't believe that I made these recipes. I told them about vah chef too. Thanks so much chef Sanjay Thumma.

We eat a totally different kind of balachao in Bangladesh. Ours is a mixture of roasted baby shrimp, onion, garlic and other spices. Its not a curry ..its dry. And I m not sure, but I think its a Burmese recipe.
