    Feedback on My Recipes from Readers

    This is a delicious curry! Thank you, Srividhya! I bought soybeans and wanted to try them in a recipe, and this is the perfect one to enjoy them in. Your curry packs a ton of flavor for such a mild bean, and it wins the taste test of approval in my household because my husband enjoyed it (and he’s a tough one to please with beans, as they have to be flavorful and exciting lol! I added rutabagas of all things, as I bought one at the Asian market as well and wanted to see what they tasted like, and it was a interesting addition. – Linda Marie on Soybeans Curry

    Perfect taste that I had tasted in my childhood days in Bangalore! This is more that I expected! Thank you so much! – Soma Datta on Kerala Instant Rasam

    Very underrated recipe. It turned out super good. Please consider reposting this (maybe not as just leek, but sambar in general) I added carrots, one garlic as well. The recipe itself is amazing, didnt realize the use of coconut oil and coconut adds so much flavor! – Saandeep Chandra on Leeks Sambar on Youtube
