This is my first blog post after Adhiyan and it happened to be a sweet dish. After a good 5 months at my parents home I am back in Kuwait.

This peanut … Continue reading Peanut Ladoo

Kambu (Pearl Millet) Dosai
One of my weekend protocols is to prepare and store the idly/dosa batter for rest of the next week.
