More Sore

Your kids don't like bottle guard. When you mention that I made bottle guard curry, they don't want to have dinner or they are not hungry anymore. Sounds very similar? Yes, most people feel that bottle guard is food for seek people and too plain. If you will give this curry to them they will change their opinion. Even my family loves this preparation and most of all is its quick and easy to prepare.
