dear friends,wanted to connect to all of u since a long time.....to share my collection and also to learn something new from all of u....the excitement of cooking a recipe is beyond words.it is a lovely experiance.....my mom is an expert cook but before marriage i was not a good cook....my husband used to give me marks in the begining n believe me i never got more than 2 or 3.Then i started collecting cookbooks n making dishes.Sometimes the result was very good n sometimes i had to eat the dish myself.Now also i think i hav a lot to learn from all of u as I am not a very good cook; but my children love the dishes made by me...simple indian dishes.it is their love that has inspired me to start this blog.
