"Mmmmmmmmm, I've got addicted to this while typing it out. I have to try it!!! If you do so before me, please review it asap and let me know. This recipe is from this week's Thursday magazine and was submitted by Manisha Nanda(She is the same beautiful person who submitted the recipe for Kale moti biryani, which is here on Zaar and dedicated to Troy for his birthday). I'm sureeeeeeee this is fantastic. This lady and her recipes always grab my attention:) You can serve this all by itself as well as a starter, or if you have plenty of starters for your party, make this a side dish! ENJOY! :)"

Hi Everybody! Thanks for stopping by in my little niche of the mighty Zaar world. Here is a quick link to the beauty recipes I've posted (highest rated so far):http://www.recipezaar.com/r/chef=6357/253/451/18/ls=h A few things I've done:- 1. Worked part time as a Telemarketer in Oman in the Crowne Plaza Hotel. 2. Worked as a Certified Professional Tarotist (Tarot Card Reader) and done accurate predicitions for many people from different parts of the world, most memorable of which is the reading I did for my college Law lecturer and it came true. 3. Written nearly 1000 poems several of which have been published in leading newspapers, ezines and magazines both in Oman and India. 4. Worked as a Moderator on www.allpoetry.com - my BEST and FAVOURITE site on the internet. My other interests include: Numerology, Vaastu Shastra, Feng Shui, Face Reading, Reiki and Astrology! I am really very keen on getting well-versed with metaphysical sciences such as Astrology, I-Ching, Feng Shui, Runes, Enneagram, Kabbalah and many more. I love researching on the mythology of ancient Goddesses and then condensing my research into poems. In the mood to gift me something? Here's what I'd love - A Nissan 350Z {my dream car}
