From my Rasoi # 2 - A fresh start!!
Hey Hey Hey!! We had an amazing response in the inaugural chapter of the From my Rasoi - Winter event, with eager participants mailing me asking to the next theme to be announced as soon as possible! Well, here I am again with a theme for this month's cook-off. (Drum rolls please...)
Finally a year has once again come to an end and a new one is here to greet us. When I was contemplating on what theme to propose for this month's FMR issue, I decided that it had to do something with welcoming and accepting 2006 with open arms. That got me thinking deeper.
Each day we go to bed at night hoping the morning would bring us better fortune. We wake up ready to face the new day. And as you may have heard a million times over, a good breakfast is always a great way to start. So why not dedicate the start of this wonderful year to the first and most important meal of the day - Breakfast!!
That's right people...Breakfast is the theme for January 2006! So grab that cooking garb and get to work.
The rules are simple:
1: All you have to do, is come up with a recipe to share based on the announced theme, that will highlight the taste on India. It can be anything and in any form, shape or size, sweet, savoury or even drinks! Special points for those who have a story to tell along with it. Is there a childhood memory attached, a family tradition, or just something you associate with, whatever it is, we want to hear about it!
2: Email me the link to your post and on the last Friday of the month (January 27, 2006), and I will do a write-up on all the participants and their submissions.
Do feel free to download and post the "From my Rasoi" banners on your site to let others know you are participating and spreading out the word. I'd greatly appreciate it!
So come on friends, lets get together and introduce others to the exotic and wonderful flavours of the Indian cuisine.
Happy Cooking!!

this is great. I wish i could take part but I committed to host sugar high friday on that day. I wantd to take part in the last one but were were away in a cabin in tahoe without the necessary spices to make indian food.
How would someone like me, who has had many an evening curry in her lifetime, but never eaten an indian breakfast, go about finding any info on indian breakfasts?
I have one idea.
And what about uttapam - are they breakfast food?
maybe i will enter but be a bit late with my entry...?
