Sweet 'n Sour Badane Palya
2007-06-18 22:24:00 Brinjal, often described as ‘the king of vegetables’ … You either love it or hate it! Luckily I fall into the Brinjal lover category and so does my Appa. When we were kids, sometimes after school hours my sister and I would go to my dad’s clinic for routine dental check up and wait in his office till he finished his work. We both would sit in his office which had a glass partition and watch Appa More About: Sweet , Palya

You will be surprised how they will set small flames of friendship that will be rose beacons on your next visit." - Dale CarnegiSome 8 months ago when I started Spice Corner I had no idea it would become integral part of my life. One day while as usual browsing the internet, a newly wedded girl, away from her family and friends living in a strange country stumbled upon a magical world of Food Blogs. She looked at each and every blog with awe and started trying the recipes from there. Some turned out to be a crowd pleaser and some were absolute disaster. Slowly she started gaining confidence with cooking and started giving her own touch to different recipes.

Unlike other parts of the world where everyone is basking in golden sun and sand, we, not so privileged ones are snuggling under cosy blanket with a bowl of hot soup and dreaming of all that glorious sunshine. I just have to close my eyes to feel that cool breeze from palm-fringed beaches and lush green fields in my native. We are almost there? Right now while writing this post I can see the sun peeping out of the clouds and smiling. Oh!!! When will he grow up and stop playing that silly peek-a-boo. May be he did hear me grumbling about the same thing again and again. It?s strange as how the weather can be so deceptive. We had early spring in this part of the world and according to the weather forecast (here they come) we are on the way to one of the hottest summers in the history and I am waiting for the day when I can start grumbling about hot and sweaty summer days. Oh!!! Let me stop sulking and come back to my favourite subje... More About: Green , Appetizers , Soup , Soups , Capsicum
