ReplyDeleteIf you would like to know how this event works, check the links in the first paragraph of this post (http://onehotstove.blogspot.com/2010/02/cook-blog-1-cookers.html) to see that the recipe for every entry comes from another blog post.

hi there,
ReplyDeleteread that there is some difficulty in accessing my blog...
can u pls chk again and specify what is it?!!
thanks again.
Mokita.
Mokita- Here is the problem: whenever I try to go to your blog, your blog appears for a couple of seconds, then that window closes and another one pops up with some ads. So basically I am being redirected away from your blog and this has been happening for last 3-4 days. Is it possible your blog is hacked? Or is it just my computer that is having problems with your blog. I have no trouble accessing any other blog or website.
ReplyDeleteNupur, thanks for considering my entry. If I post an entry for the next event, it will definitely be based on a recipe from some blog.
ReplyDeleteNupur, here is my entry..Coconut milk pulao tried from another blog and it is at

No slow cookers this time, just a normal pressure cooker, a must in Indian families..
Thanks!
ReplyDeletekinder- swirl and swirl like making a syrup and stirring non stop (Kindrathu is a tamil world) and its just a slang.
Kali is the sweet made with rice flour and jaggery for celebrating shiva's birthday during the month of december. It is quite tricky to make and you'll need all the sugary support once you finish stirring it :)
Nupur, thanks for including the dal makhani and for giving me a chance to pull my slow cooker out of hibernation :).
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful event, and I think it's great that you are motivating bloggers to appreciate and enjoy the work of fellow bloggers. Kudos!
