January 18, 2013 at 3:22 amWow!! So this is the original recipe!! 🙂 So glad to bump into this recipe for wholewheat naan! They look absolutely delightful! One of my non-blogger friend had seen this recipe, tried this and told me about it and since, I have tried it too.. They came out great (though I am yet to master the art of making the naans stick to the pans without them falling over on the flame 😀 ) Lovely pictures!!!

January 3, 2014 at 9:14 amYour pictures have made me so hungry. These are some really great clicks I must say. Being a vegetarian, Paneer Tikka masala recipe is one of my favorite recipes and has always been a part of my main course when I have my meals out of home. Never thought it could be made at home so easily.
