From your kitchen to mine # 1

Here are some recipes that I have tried out from other blogs -
Shilpa's
Spicy Pineapple .

The only changes I made were:
I used canned pineapple instead of fresh and it still tasted very good.
I did not add any pepper although it is mentioned in the original version.
I added 1/2 tsp of methi/fenugreek seeds.

Nandita's
Simply Delicious Potato Wedges
The only change I made here was to use a lot of garlic powder and some dried herbs too (a mixture of parsley, rosemary and basil)

Sia's
Kichidi with Raita

The only major change I made was to use masoor dal instead of split moong dal.
My raita had onions & cucumber.

Nirmala's Tomato-Basil Pesto

I pretty much stuck to her recipe for the most part; just added some walnuts, pepper & a tsp of fresh lemon juice.

Thank you for sharing your ideas and recipes gals!


It’s time for some bragging now. Over the weekend, Padma of Padma’s Kitchen gave me this -
Isn’t that great?... it has only been a little over a month ago that I started blogging and this is my 2nd award! Yay!
Thank you so much, Padma. It is really very nice of you.


Since most of you have already received these awards and passed them on, I will just hold on to this one.

Happy Cooking!
