Recipe Notes

NOTE : I have served it plain but if you want you can either drizzle the top with honey or make a glaze of honey and lemon juice or honey,milk and vanilla essence and pour on top.Either ways delicious!

I am a passionate foodie who loves to cook, serve and love to see people relishing my creations. Since the time I was small I used to wonder about the 'how' of things in the kitchen.

Then when I finally ventured as an unprofessional kitchen helper for my late grand-mother (a par excellent cook in her own generation) I was fascinated by the amount of stuff you could do to a simple milk and rice to form a most yummy pudding.

Here I am sharing my recipes with a will to learn from some and educate others as well!
