Uluthan Kali Tamil Specialty for ICC
For the first time I was very hesitant to prepare the ICC post.Was I lazy?..busy??..no..somehow I was not sure how this halwa would turn out and decided not to participate this month. Normally I am done with my posts much ahead of time and everyone knows that, so Preeti called me to ask the feedback…
Poush Parbon er Pati Shapta… Bengali Sweet for Indian Cooking Challenge

Satpura / Pather Pheni /Chirote
As kids I guess we are too playful and are not interested in what is being cooked during festivals.Going back,years back probably when I was 7- 8 , I remember mom making Satpuras for a special festival called Mahalaxmi-jo-sagro.This festival is dedicated to Godess Mahalaxmi ,the Godess of wealth during Shiradhs .For two weeks homeage…
