My cooking
Friends do believe these photos were not taken from net and i really cooked them :) I didnt had much chance to cook when i had a sweetheart Mom to do everything for me and due to office tensions. Now am all alone the whole day in a different country left with not much options to do at home. My husband always encourages me when i do a new recipe and he does eat it with no complaints .. So I decided to venture into kitchen and try new items. Google has answers for all. When i searched for a recipe i got loads from the net and many good blogs from women for cooking. Since most of the items i tried were taken from net am not going to spend time on posting a detailed recipe...
Kaju katli - this is one of my favorite sweets and i always have a place for one even when my stomach is very full ..When i saw the recipe in my friends site www.koki.shivhosting.net i instantly tried it out and it came out very well..Do visit her site for many other delicious items...
Ingredients: Cashew(1 cup) , sugar (1/2 cup), water 1/4 cup and little milk while making into shape
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ingredients:
Bread ( 5 slices) dry grind in mixie
onion - 1 chopped finely
rava - 2 spoons
ginger cut pieces and salt
Mix all with little water to make balls and fry in oil ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My husband is very fond pani puri and whenever he orders, just dont stop with one plate.. To reduce the frequent visits of eating out i wanted to try it on my own.. It was a very easy recipe to do ...puri and the pani with stuffing. when u have the puri's ready you can make variety of chat items ..

Stone art
I got a Ganesh Idol carved from stone as a birthday gift. Every day when i see it i would be thinking how they could have carved this statue so intricately in such a black stone( karungal used for building construction) This was a million dollar question for me for almost 4 years. One day i saw a sandal color Ganesh idol sold in a shop which was exactly the same as the one i have at home. So i confirmed it was not carving on stone ,but has been cleverly pasted and painted together. I liked this technique and tried with few idols below using gold and silver dust as final touch.

Glass paintings
One of my friend asked me to paint a MS subhulakshmi photo as a gift. I laughed like anything when i first heard it. Because even in school drawings i would always struggle to draw a face particularly .This happened almost 7 years back... My friend was having so much faith on me and asked me try. But i totally forgot about it until a day i saw a beautiful cover page of MS subhulakshmi in Mangayar malar. I always have a feel when i wanted to do something it will automatically come my way . I was sure it was not a coincidence so i wanted to paint . I was not bothered about the outcome.. I started painting the portrait on a glass.. This was my second glass painting and i was really happy when i was done with it . I still have a photo copy of this painting framed in my house which will fetch a appreciation by every new comer to house. Thanks to my friend
