^Hehehe thanks!!

Ira, I love your cooking, you got me craving biryani!!

ANd Lusi you got me craving halva poori :-(
I'm on a diet these days so just boring food for me :-( Although I have to say that I have tried the chicken kabab dish that u posted a while back and EVERYONE liked it so much!!! Thanks :-)

I've only been cooking boring food cuz I'm eating very healthy. Occasionally I made something for hubs seperately. Waise bhi ramadan is around the corner and insh'allah everyone here will be cooking lots of food!

For those who asked: I have already posted my biryani and baingan ka raita recipe on this thread. Just do a search on my name!

Rest of you all, keep cooking and keep posting so we can be inspired a little more!

mall yes u can roast baingans on naked flame (medium low heat) only the peel gets burnt n u'll find nice soft baingan from inside...peel automatically comes off wen its burnt..it is done the same way lyk we do for baingan ka bharta! do try it its yummy spcially with tahari or chanay ka pulao matar pulao!

^^ Soya is soya lol. From the soya bean. You get soya milk, soya fake mince, soy sauce, tofu, and soya beans. All kinds of soya.


Dill is dill lol. (herb)
