Thank You Series - I

Once upon a time, I googled for 'Moong Dal Sprouts' and was awe struck by what I saw.It was Open Sesame for me. An array of golden recipes made at home by a wonderful lady. Oh, Food Blogs? How come I, who thought of myself, as tech trend savvy, never ever, heard about this?

Then, I looked to the right side of her blog and discovered a whole new World, a welcome peek at a lot of fantastic kitchens! I am still awestruck by many of the creations by my dear blog buddies (Some of them have gone on to become my twin, my fairy, my sister, my dear friends)!

If one thing my husband approves of me doing is browsing food blogs, he is happy and excited like a kid at all the new dishes his wife is making. He has declared, "Now you have started to learn cooking"! Ah! Men! (rhymes with Amen! ;0)

The best part of food blogs is that you can ask the blogger your doubts about a particular recipe, which is like catching upon the basic training I missed with my mom and grandmom.

These are a few of those recipes I tried. There are many in my folder. But to start with…I used to make idlis and dosas before, but lovely Kitchenmate taught me to make the perfect idlis and dosas I have tasted, just like those I have had in Tamilnadu.
Idli Recipe : 4:1 (boiled rice: uraddal). Soak them overnight, grind urad dal first and rice separately. Her tip: Sprinkle water to the urad dal while it is grinding,which makes the dough very fluffy and the idlis soft like a flower.
