Mexican from India! YAY!!
Pooja,take it easy sweetie!Little advice from "big"sister, why don't you do this weekly thing to once or twice a month event,so you can get a break.Blogging takes lot one's time,before you know you will neglect yourself and others!!!Personal experience!:D I used to post very often too,but cut it down quikly!Happy Pongal.
Pooja: This is great! Must be so yummy I bet..and so filling too, did you server anything else with this?
I alsi agree with Ashaji...take it easy and post only when you can, I have been thinking to do the same....otherwise we get so caught up in it that we forget that we have a personal life too!
chal...weekend enjoy karje and taru potanu dhyan rakhje.
Best wishes for you always,
Trupti

Hi Pooja,
Amazing Mexican recipe from you dear....Ya i even go along with ashaji,even my hubby feels that i always sit long time with blogs....
Then i can understand your state who post daily one post..takecare of your health buddy,....
Thanks,happy pongal..
Hi Viji,
thanks dear, i am feeling ok now, it wasjust that since last 2 days was much busy with other work , nothing else to worry. :)
Asha ,
You Know I always value your advice and ever since I read it from your blog ,I keep it in mind to do not get addicted to this blogging. It was taking much earlier to post one recipe, now I feel it easy to do. You are correct , And I am going to change it to once or twice a week from next week. I have defined some priority over blogging and always keeping that in mind. Just love creating something new each day. Hubby loves that too. Not sacrificing anything of our normal life,thats why I keep doing it. Thanks for being there ,you are always showing me right path and I am glad that you are here with me. :) . Hugs to you. Happy Pongal.
Trupti,
what I know is his is being served this way only, with Salsa. its a kinda snack dish or a part of buffet mainly.
dont worry dear, as I have wriiten much above to Ashaji ,khali etlu j kahish ke bloggin enjoy karva mate j chalu rakhu chhu, hu to evi chhu ne ke koi pan vaat nu tention nathi leti , levani jarur hoy to pan , etle chinta nahi karti . :) . Believing in Munnabhai theory- "Tension Leneka nahi Deneka :)) " . pan tu jyare kahe chhe to mari moti ben jevu lage chhe, kaik bahuj najik na saga jevu . thank you for being there.
Supriya,
We haven't expanded our life here much, since we got to know that we are goin to shift, so it is easy to wrap up all these things too.You won't believe we both are so tension free guys that we take life much easily, otherwise with last few days we had such situation in which we might have felt caught up by troubles (hubby had some problems with helath, sont worry he is all ok now:) ) Normally i try to keep posts just ready to publish , thats why I can do it easily. Still just to spend more time with myself too , I am goin to alter some plans now.
I am glad that you liked it. I was thinking to try this salsa ever since i read about it, and it was truely great in taste. thanks dear .
Usha,
My hubby don't feel so as I normally do not steal time to post here when he is around. :) . Initially i also find this blogging thing much addictive and somehting with which i can spend hours and hours, ever since i realised that I have defined my priority in life anf that helps me a lot . I jsut do it for fun , nothing with pressure. thanks for your concern ,I am feeling fine anf fresh now, all I needed was just a ful night rest to feel healthy again. :) .Happy Pongal dear!
Nice recipe and I agree with Asha. Its fun blogging but it can get a little too addictive.Do take care of yourself.
WOW Pooja, I really liked this dish of yours and will definitely try it and let you know..
Thanks for sharing...
