Dear Sriniketan,

Thank you so very much for your warm wishes on my pregnancy. Really nice to receive such warm hearted responses. No doubt Chitvish is an adarsha mangai. She is an allrounder -- in cooking, religious aspects and a perfectionist in whatever she does!I really admire her, and I would like to mention here that I am a die hard fan of her daughter Ruby also!
"Amma ettu adi panja, all roundedness la ponnu 16 adi payara!"

Please do try out all the dishes! I am also plg to try them out myself. You will enjoy them, I can assure u that!

Thank you so much for pitching in!

Purni

My DEar Purnima,

Congratulations to you.!! Lovely to know the news of your pregnancy. Take tons of care:))


You are very lucky to have met her highness , but the lil bundle of joy is even luckier to get the greatest cuisines presented right from this stage itself. Lovely indeed.

I loved the way you have described everything Purnima.

Tons of good wishes to you and the lovely one inside.

Have a safe and happy pregnancy.

Chithra Ma'am you are undoubtedly the best and I cant wait for my share of goodies.

Love,
Devika

Dear Dear Chits,

Yummy Yum! I am drooling for more and more!

Can I have the recipe for banana kesari? My friend is an avid sweet lover. So I am taking interest in making sweets ( a segment I crawl and venture!).

Please tell me how to make it!

Enjoyed the name that you have given for the recipe, no harm, all recipes have been christened in the similar fashion. I still trying to know who must have invented the name Pulao and Biryani. Pulao is like male and hindu while Biryani seems to be female and Muslim!

A meet up with Chits is always a pleasure for foodies! Count me in, ever waiting for that day! I will be spending all my time in Chits Kitchen, smelling the goodies being cooked!

Dear Purnima,
congrats! I was wondering about what happened to you after coming over to India. You were not visible here in IL. Now I can understand.
Lucky you, to have Chithra as aunt. Enjoy the new arrivals! We will get the recipes soon, so not a problem. When Chithra takes special effort for us friends, she would take extra special effort for her dear niece.

Dearest Varloo!

Great to interact with you. My apologies, for not being active in IL. Yes , we were having a nomadic life till about last year when we settled down in bangalore. Then we booked an apt here and lo, more work! carpentary, shifting, etc etc and as an icing on the cake, I became preg and 3 months of nausea etc! :D .

I slowly hope to get back on track and meet more friends here, lets see, hope nothing else crops up for the time being!:)

Yes Varloo, dates khoa balls, were just amazing.... in fact am not a sweet freak, but I just relished each an every bite of it. It is apparently very very easy to make! Need to try it out myself....


Take care Varloo and thanks a million for your time! :)

Regards,
Purni

Hi purnima
Hearty Congrats on your second pregnancy. Though this is the first time I am writing to you, I knew long back that you are Meenu's daughter.
(Courtesy: An IL meet at Chitra's place where I met your mom for the first time!)

So had a feast right?I am sure the little one will begin demanding more goodies from you frequently ,now that he/she has already tasted some of chitra's specialities.
Did you check your weight after the feast? (Just joking! )

Regards
Honeybee

purnima dear,


Congrats on your pregnancy, sucessful return to india.
knowing chithmam, and having seen her daughter, and hearing a little about the whole lot of them, add me to the fan club.
