Huhuuu huhuu !! It’s cold, that means winter is coming. 🙂 Yesss!!! But it’s not as cold as it should be in the month of November. We are not even being able to see plenty of oranges and other winter fruits in the market. Nope!! So may we have to wait till December? Or it is just because of unavailability of currency notes (No legal tender of Rs 500 & Rs 1000 currency notes). Available oranges are also not as good as it should be. Hmmmm…. Probably we have to wait few more days for winter. In the mean time we can try to make paneer curry with mushrooms and celebrate beginning of winter 2016.
