    4. Hi Gayathri. Hope all is well. Tried out the Bean Kurma and it came out excellent. But i made some alterations to the recipe to suit our taste buds. I am a food blogger too. want to know if I can publish my version on my blog space off course with your permission. If u have any specifications about the link back do let me know about that too. BTW i do not see any e mail id to which i can mail any queries. DO write to me when time permits.
