Hello VK Narayanan, thanks for leaving a comment on my blog.
The list of recipes is impressive and I like the cauliflower manchurian recipe, I am going to try it soon.
May I ask where are you blogging from? Are you a Chef?

Thanks Indira for dropping by. Please let me know how manchurian came out. I am currently blogging from Muscat, Oman. Oh yes, I am the chef de cuisine of My Dhaba - my home. Kidding :-)

Indian home cooking has been my soulstirring passion since childhood handed over to me by my loving sister who is no more and of course my mom. I am trying to record my successes and failures with Indian home cooking here at my blog. It is a joy ride so far. :-)

Hi VKN,
I simply love your blog. Grt photos and easy to follow recipes. I like the fact that u mention what goes with what, coz when I try out new recipes I find it a bit tricky to set the menu.

Today I tried out Maseel according to your recipe. I used amarath for this and reduced the amt of onion, garlic and tomatoes. The end product was good. Hey, but I can't find the link to 'maseel' in ur blog. I got it from 'forum hub' where u posted the link in 'healthy recipes for kids' thread.
Next I'll try out dates payasa. Actually I've been looking for recipes using dates, if you have any more pls post them.
