UGADI PACHADI
I have been thinking about creating a blog of mine and have been successfully postponing the attempt.Somehow,I wanted to start this on an auspicious day and Ugadi came in right time.I have also gained some confidence that I can cook decently well!!I just wanted to note all my recipes in some place,but book was far to think cos of the weight constraints we always have.Next thing that came to my mind was a food blog that serves my purpose as well as some enthusiastic to-be cooks:)I may not be the greater cook but an enthusiatic one who loves to learn,experiment and try constantly till the perfect shot is given!I am also a confused one, forgetful sometimes and this is my cooking notes!!
I want to start the blog with Ugadi Pachadi which has all the six flavours/tastes(fondly called shadruchulu in Telugu) of cooking-sweet,sour,salt,tangy,bitter & hot!!
