  1. I'm a foodie and its always nice to come across a new "food" blog - especially one that contains recipes of actual ghar ka khana. Since I love Dal in all its forms, will definitely try this one over the weekend. All the best and hope this blog continues with many more mouth-watering recipes to come.....
