Aishu dear ,

As i said earlier, I don't know if it is really good , but yes the photographs are really tempting...do tell me how it was.

Dear Moonbeams
I had sent only one entry and that is Diamond curry. Happy to know that you liked it. I am waiting for good besan flour, I have very little stock at present becoz the person who sells the indian stuff is not having stock so waiting for him to get more besan. I am so eager to try but not able too. will let you know as soon as I will make it.
