I love cooking for my family and friends but with my busy schedule, I hardly get time to pursue this passion of mine.

I have got this recipe from mom Joyce Arora and a bit from my friend Maunika, who's a lovely cook. Everyone at home simply loves this stew and we are going to have it with some white rice and some delicious gluten-free, vegan chickpea bread that my friend Raveena made for me. M in for a lovely treat, I hope you too utilise this time to do something positive and healthy. Stay calm and stay safe!," said Malaika in her Instagram post.

Lather all of them and put them back here and then rinse them all," she says.
