A few weeks ago Jhuls from TheNotSoCreativeCook nominated me for the beautiful blogger award. I came across Jhuls recently and simply love her blog and share her love for nutella as well… 😀 She has some amazing range of recipes on her blog and I totally admire her creativity. A big, heartfelt thank you to Jhuls for considering me worthy of this nomination. 🙂

Here are my nominations:

Thirsty For Tea : I love everything about Bonnie’s blog. Her creativity, her write-ups, photography and all her recipes!

YES! I’M VEGAN 🙂 : Charu always introduces me to something amazing. I wouldn’t have heard about Coconut yoghurt if it weren’t for her. 😉

Traditionally Modern Food : Not only is Vidya’s blog a great source of wonderful Indian recipes I am quite ignorant of, but I also sincerely feel that she is an amazingly generous person and I am fortunate to have found a friend in her. 🙂

Malar’s Kitchen : Malar will always have something ingenious up her sleeve and I love to see how she tries to make all the delicious fried stuff into flavorful healthy dishes. Much like Vidya, she’s become a great support as well. 🙂

Spice in the City : I love Naina’s photography and I am in awe of her photos. 🙂

ViolentsnVanilla : I simply can’t get over her amazing cake creations. 😀

MyFoodTrapestry : I love Namrata’s blog as her writing is so much fun and love her photography as well. 🙂

PackingMySuitcase : I love Allane’s write-ups and admire how passionate she is! 🙂

Thank you for bearing with me and hope you all have a lovely week ahead.

PS: No stress to pass on the awards. 🙂

Hello All! I’m pleased to share with you all that Miss Wu Kitchen nominated me for Leibster Award! yay! It is always a gratifying feeling when others appreciate your efforts.

A big thank you to Miss Wu who is multi-talented herself and she always introduces me to wonderful Asian recipes that I could not have imagined! She very sweetly says, “Food makes me smile”. I am sure we all feel the same way! 😀

Answers to the questions from Miss Wu.

Why did you start your blog?

To challenge myself, learn, learn and learn!

Please don’t make me choose here. I can go on and on but sticking only to three here :Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Amir Khan

Tea or Coffee ?

Coffee!

Where was the last, best vacation?

My last would be Budapest and the last, best would be Koh Samui, Thailand.

What dish, snack or dessert can’t you live without and you are always craving it ?

Aloo Gobi with phulkas (Cauliflower potato curry with indian bread, in my mum’s style).

Which dish did you like most as a kid?

This is a toughie! Rajma Chawal and aloo gobi(Spicy Red Kidney bean curry with rice and aloo gobi, it is a deadly combination! Again, in my mum’s style)
