Hi mullai,

thanks
Hi Mullai,
I wud like to try this recipe…Where can i get the rosemary?
Priya……I bought a small plant from a local nursery, which sold them for $2 bucks each. They are also available in all supermarkets, check the fresh herb aisle. You require only a few strands for this recipe, so try buying dried rosemary, use a few and store the rest for future use. When using dried herb, use only a few leaves, they normally have very strong flavor than fresh leaves.
