Dear All,
First of all apology for Mentioning, Ujwal as "He", rather it should be "She". Which I came to know only from her second email to me .
Ujwal is right now in China, and as she is not able to access blogs directly , on behalf of her I thank you all for appreciating this recipe :).

Asha &Gattina,
I was thinking about starting this since a long time to introduce non- bloggers sent recipes to metion here explicitly with their name as guest post. Glad that you liked it too :).

Uma,
I am happy that you liked my recipe , thanks for acknowledging me of that, hugs to you :)
Trupti ,
thanks dear, that is so sweet of you :) .
