Its been lots of eating and shopping from past few days. I am visiting my lil sister in Atlanta, and I need not say how it is when sisters meet after almost 3 years.
Chatting all day, Shopping together with loads of fun in trail rooms, Playing cards late night, and not mention the water sports we did together especially the banana boat ride. I would recommend it to every one who has not tried it yet. It was awesome

Thanks Barbara. Oh how can we forget those days.
I follow some what similar recipe without lime juice & bell peppers. Mouthwatering bowl of kadai chicken.
Adding bell peppers gives it additional flavor Usha, Try it.
