Gita Madhu

I'D LIKE TO DOCUMENT RECIPES I USE AT HOME. MOST OF MY COOKING IS THE ATTEMPT TO SATISFY THE TASTE BUDS OF MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF. THE CUISINES ARE MOSTLY SOUTH INDIAN (OFTEN MALAYALEE ) AND NORTH INDIAN (PUNJABI). AS I LEARNED COOKING FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF PEOPLE, SO TOO I HOPE THAT MY BLOG WILL HELP SOMEONE TRYING TO MESS AROUND IN A KITCHEN. I LOVE SURFING THE NET FOR FOOD BLOGS AND I HOPE I CAN REPAY ALL THE WONDERFUL IDEAS I GOT THUS BY SHARING LINKS AND PROVIDING SOMETHING UNIQUE TOO .
