The weather in Saudi now, is the best I’ve seen lately. Its breezy and rainy.
Last night, I went to bed with plans of waking up early and making something usual for lunch. Rice, moru, beetroot-potato stir fry, and a simple chicken curry. This morning I couldn’t pull myself up. All I wanted to do was stay wrapped in the blanket for as long as I could. So I stayed in bed for an extra hour and then decided to cook a chicken curry with chopped beetroot in laban/buttermilk.
Basically, a quick 3-in-1. I had my moru, beetroot, and chicken, all in one. 😀
It turned out pretty amazing, so I thought of sharing it with y’all. 🙂
