Herb Mania Fenugreek Round Up

Herb Mania Fenugreek Round Up






Is it just me or did the past month fly by so fast? Here I was just weeks ago, contemplating if I should even venture into hosting an event. After all it has been over a year since I started blogging and I have participated in numerous events, but never hosted anything on my own. The opportunity came in the form of Herb Mania an event created by Dee of Ammalu’s Kitchen. Dee wanted other bloggers to guest host her event and I seized the opportunity. Thanks Dee for letting me host the event and it has been a fun and learning experience so far.



And so four glorious weeks later the event has ended and I am happy with the response that I have received. Thank you very much dear fellow bloggers for participating and also taking time in sending me your entries. Each one of your dishes is lovely and has its own unique appeal. So many of these dishes are new to me and I am glad that I can learn and also try out many new things. Special thanks to Aparna of My Diverse Kitchen for taking time to answer all my queries about publicizing the event. Without much ado, here is the round up of Herb Mania Fenugreek. Click on any photo, wait for a while, click on the Next button and have a visual feast of ‘light’ slideshow. A[photoxhibit=12]A

Red Chori and Squash Curry

Red Chori and Squash Curry

I found Red Chori (Azuki bean) in the Indian grocery a while ago and totally loved it.  This is different from Rajma (Red Kidney Bean), they do have similar color but the shape and taste are totally different. When correctly cooked Red Bean taste like
