Thank you for putting in such an effort and building this website! My mum was forcing me to take the book when I got married because of my lack of bhatia cooking skills 🙂 But I shooed her off coz my hubby doesnt eat bhatia food either! Now I am a regular visitor on your site because I love making bhatia food, especially snacks, for my son. It’s also a life saver when I have relatives over 🙂
Thanks once again!
Warm Regards
