Hi Friends, I'm Preethi Mahalingam, I have not much visited any of the Blogs, but i'm inspired by my friend to create this blog. She has her cooking blog, so i thought i could also create one by including the old traditional way of cooking, which most of the girls today have forgotten... nowdays we mostly cook the fusion type or the fast food type for our fast paced environment, almost everything is got in packets or bottles... So im here to tell u how to prepare them the authentic way... so friends be ready to experiment...All the Best..
