Spinach Rice / Palak Pulao # 1

This is unique method to make palak rice. Again easy to prepare, just make a puree of palak / spinach. I would say its the best brunch and I will also say bachelors can make it too if they have access to Mixers/Grinders.

This is the one method I am posting today. I have come across another method of doing this too and I will be posting that soon.

Celebrating 3 Years

Celebrating 3 years (2007-2010) of my favourite past time & my domain Malas-Kitchen. I am so excited to have completed 3 years of blogging. Actually I started the Blog in Feb but I bought a new domain in March and hence celebrating this day in march.

215 Recipes !!! I never thot this count would go above 100. I guess I can be a little boastful of this. I am allowed to do this atleast for today.

Most of all I want to say thanks to everyone, my fellow blogger friends, my viewers and well-wishers, and last but not the least my husband and my son, for his silent support, although he doesn’t understand as to why mom is so involved in writing into a computer when he is around but he still keeps on playing without disturbing me.

I am also thankful for all the kind comments and also pride myself that there are people around who like my cooking and my recipes.

I am going to end this small celebration speech of mine by hoping that I can continue into the 4th year with the same fervour and enthusiasm of all my previous years. I am also hoping that I will be getting the same kind of support & wishes from all of you.

Thank you,

- Vanamala Hebbar
