For the third day of steamed dishes, I have a wonderful snack for all those follow low carb diet. Last month, when I was reading Rafeeda’s post on Paneer Dahi Bhalla, I was tempted to try it immediately. Only some recipes inspire me so much and the next day I made it for my lunch. […]

This week’s theme I have chosen is quite interesting. When I read about single serve sweets, I was immediately hooked. Ever since I have been on diet, I have learnt to make smaller batches of any recipe so that I don’t have left overs. And when I started weighing the ingredients for recipes, I also […]
