Really good effort here. I know a food blog takes up a lot of your time - more so if you are clicking step-by-step photos. But you have done a very good job. I specially appreciate the details like why you need to use hot oil to fry fish. This is what makes a blog unique- the little things which are often under-appreciated. Much love XOXO
