Hi Folks! I am back after a long hiatus, It's taking me some time to catch up with all the upbeat events around the Blogosphere.For some time to come, its gonna be only weekends for me...Missing out on all your lovely posts! for all those of you who are looking forward to my posting , here's a new post with an appetizing Sea food platter and a mango kheer that's lipsmackingly delicious....will catch up soon, till then , see you guys around....


Get set and ready for a couple of easy and interesting dishes,which takes less time to make and quick to finish off the plate..;) just thinking of this yummy dishes stretches my memory and transports it to a time which reverbrates with energizing gastronomical treats with high calories ,surely, that was lot of fun we had as teens ,trying to prepare this kheer on our mini stove replicating grandma's recipe... which ,indeed gave me a Taste for Cooking...:)


Note: Sorry No Pic, as I was too busy devouring to take a picture of it..:)

Come March and all through May and June,Mango frenzy is in full swing with Mango minifestivals.It's Mangoes, Mangoes all the way, they are all over the place with the harvest time in it's peak . Here's a pic of Mangoes we bought at a Mango Mela,last month.
