Hello Friends
Due to insistence of a great many friends I am making a blog with my favorite recipes and I begin with Daal Makhani which is my Mom's recipe, easy to cook and delectable to eat. Hope you try them and enjoy the food. Just one little tip for good cooking, cooking is fun and is all about creativity. If you do not have a tiny ingredient, don't panic, just look for the closest substitute or you can skip it.
Enjoy your cooking....any foods made with love are worth eating....
