Hi,
Can you put every curry that doesn't require coconut under one group.? It is really hard to find out. My dad is diabetic and this will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
Aarthi

Can you please please simplify your recent receipes section just like your normal other index. It's difficult to go through each page one by one. I request you please.
