    Hello Anjanaji, Thanks for visiting me. Your blog is lovely and seems God send as I am always hunting for no onion no garlic recipes. I do love onions and garlic but on some days one requires satvik recipes so I will definitely be "following" you. I am no young bride (been married for 19 years) but any motherly guidance is always welcome.
    I hope to learn a lot from you.
    Love.

    I was so happy to see the title of the post coz there are very few people who actually know the differnce between a Pulao and Biryani. I've seen blogs posting pulao recipes with the name biryani which is disappointing at times.

    This looks just perfect, I can imagine how tasty this would be. Hope to try it out soon. The picture is very tempting. 🙂
