Hi Ms White.

My father had a craving for Green masala chicken curry today. His mother, my nana, always made it for him. He told me to ask his older sister for the recipe. I, instead, looked it up on Google and found your recipe. The curry was delicious. You may want to mention to amount of onions to be added to this.

I'm looking forward to buying one of your books to keep the Anglo-Indian tradition alive.

Thank you
