Hello foodies! Welcome to my new blog! I have
been writing the blog “Glimpses of India” since 15th August,2012 . Today as my readers requested, I’m going to publish this new blog “From The Kitchen Of
an Indian Homemaker”. I want to celebrate the first anniversary of “Glimpses of
India” and I think it’s the best gift to you. This blog is only about cooking; recipes,
foods, kitchen tips and food-quiz! Sounds interesting? Yes, I am also planning
for a quiz contest which shall be one of the features of this blog. On the
basis of right answers and regular activities in my two blogs as well as the page,
‘The Foodie of the Month’ shall be
chosen. I have planned for more contest and activities which would be revealed in
future. So, cheer up friends and join me to have great fun! Here we go……….
