Not to mention those rock hard white idlis. I hence made it a point never to have sambar outside my home ever.<BR/>I loved ur culinary description of ur one true love.<BR/>I on the other hand have two sweethearts without whom I cannot possibly live. <BR/>They are called Pav Bhaji and Pizza. Love the soft mozzarella that melts in ur mouth and the crisp succulent buns swirling in the most amazingly concocted bhaji. <BR/> To each of his own I suppose.Vyazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971639466003720216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801124033661110775.post-12762601233814350592009-03-01T10:37:00.000+05:302009-03-01T10:37:00.000+05:30I make really good Sambar :)In fact I pride myself...I make really good Sambar :)<BR/>In fact I pride myself on this :)<BR/>This post made me smile--as I too have lived in Bangalore and tasted some of the atrocities they pass off in the name of sambar! :)<BR/>Thanks for stopping by<BR/>Cheers<BR/>Preeti ShenoyPreeti Shenoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01626823872300694608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801124033661110775.post-37016069737890857742009-02-27T17:23:00.000+05:302009-02-27T17:23:00.000+05:30Hi,I am following up on the Bangalore Indiblogger ...Hi,<BR/><BR/>I am following up on the Bangalore Indiblogger meet this Saturday at Microsoft campus http://www.indiblogger.in/bloggermeet.php?id=26.

I later saw u getting so averse to even hearing about it!!! Wot a transition.....all thanx to aunty.<BR/>I am still trying to acheive perfection with these dishes...esply sambar and rasam. In the process i keep sampling the various brands of masalas from South India....its become a habit now for my hubby. Whenever he is in South, he makes sure he gets the local brand from there. So now i have soooo many samples stackes in my kitchen that i can feed a whole barat!!! Raja, bol to terey shaadi ke liye rakh dun!!!!!!<BR/>Yes, regarding the food my darling bro cooks.....BEWARE is all i can say. I have not been fortunate enough(in true sense...thank God!!)<BR/>to try his recipes.....dont know about u guys who have actally tasted those stuffs!!! There have been many instances where i have cooked biryani etc over the fone....dont know end mein kaisa hua tha!! thats probably can explain a part of the staggering fone bills that my bro has to pay....khana thoda mehenga padh jaataa hai!!!<BR/>Anyway, keep the spirit up.....can see u fall in love again....all the very best!!! Aunty u indeed are a superb matchmaker!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10297007510986335293noreply@blogger.com
