Coriander Chicken - Semi Gravy

All these days, I was so upset.. and you know why... My site has been hacked and I was so shocked to hear the news from Google.... This site is my 3 years work and when I came to know this news... I felt very bad.. seeing my blog getting into this malware... So made my site offline and was checking and comparing the html code which I had this backup a year ago... Removed all the unwanted things....

Today I was happy again to see my blog out of this malware and google approved my site again... Really very happy... My kind request to all my blogger friends. Try to take the backup of your html code at least 2 months once.  Though the site was ok by mid Jan, I was having so many other works, that I don't fine time for my site.

Now to the recipe...
