Divya Vikram, my friend from RM1, has always been a person who never disappoints me with her lovely entries. I got to know her better when she was part of the Recipe Marathon 1 and I know her to be very enthusiastic and lively. She looks barely out of college! But the dishes she dishes out at her blog are amazing!
I am listing alphabetically. I know she would have sent more but for the fact that she is on vacation!
The Carrot Rice she has sent, sets the thing on motion. She says its on experimental basis she tried it out. But it was a great hit at home. I know looking at the delicious picture, it was!
The Coriander rice next from her makes a perfect candidate for lunch box!
Then we have this easy breezy pulao that gets done in minutes. The picture speaks more than what we can think!
The one pot meal makes a great dish for lunch box and so the Mushroom Peas Corn Pulao or Tomato Rice and the tofu added rice makes very interesting ones to know!
