Lemon Rice

Lemon rice is one my favourite and easy to make dish. The tangy flavour of lemon needs no side dish with it. It's one of my best among South Indian Dishes. Well here in South India they say "Pulliharam" (check me if I'm wrong with the spelling) Early morning when I get late preparing my husbands lunch as I wake late :P, I prepare Lemon rice for him. And he loves it too, without any complains in the evening :) Well today morning I prepared it in a hurry-bury so couldn't take good snaps, but I will update with better snaps as soon as I prepare it next time. :)

Misti Dahi

Misti Dahi/ Sweet curd is one of the favourite desserts among the Bengali's. My father started his career at Kolkata, WB. He was there for 2-3 years and he knows almost all the old restaurants over there and the streets where, good food is available. Last when we visited in the year 2009 he took me and mom to a hotel when he asked us to taste Misti Dahi... & I have no words that was the best one I ever had... :)

Today just tried to imitate it still trying to achieve that taste...
