Hi Padmaja: It really taste great, give it a try. Hi Rupal: Many thanks for your nice words about Mahanandi. I really appreciate you for taking time to leave this comment. I have visited your site. Great work! Please do let me know when you start a food blog. I am sure, it's going to be a fabulous addition to the community and I'll learn lot of new things from you. Hi Vini: kandi pappu to cheste achhu mana sambhar leda rasam laaga vastundi. Do try it with split peas, it's common ingredient in western cooking, and you can get it at regular grocery shops. Krithika: Thanks. Hi Trupti: Thanks! It feels good to hear nice words about the photo. I had a pleasant experience working for this piece.:) Thanks Krista. Your Greek Tiropita recipe looks delicious and I've bookmarked it to try.:) Hi Amy: yes, canned stuff works for this recipe. Deepu, you have to try this recipe. Really good and easy to prepare. Hi Manjula: Yes, you can. There is not that much of a difference between two varieties, and Google search offers lot of information if you are interested. Hi Praba: To get published in a newspaper and to be heard on radio - it's a great thrill, isn't it? :) I don't know why? I regularly publish photos on this site, still it felt great to see my photos on NPR' page. Something with the name, I guess.:) All thanks to Vijaysree, she is a go-getter and kind person. It was a good discussion, wasn't it? We are a perfect family, lovey-dovey when in need, all knifes when it matters. I've missed your opinion on that piece.:) Thanks Praba!
