A huge thank you!

I noticed recently that the traffic to my blog has been on the rise. That made me delve into the logs to see just where the visitors are coming from. And, below is a list of the Indian food blogs and web sites that have been sending me visitors on a regular basis since April 2006.

• Aayi's Recipes, where Shilpa writes tirelessly on Konkani cuisine, sending me down memory lane with recipes like chiroti, fish curry with tirphal/tepla, kurlyachi amti or crab curry and so many other dishes that were made on a regular basis in our home.


• Anthony's Kitchen, where Anthony shows how a bachelor can have delicious and nutritious meals. Anthony also hosts the ever popular Curry Mela every weekend.


• Cooking Medley, where Luv2Cook shares her love of cooking and baking. Her Mamidikaya Pachi Pulusu was a hit when I made it.


• Desiknitter, my friend from Another Subcontinent who never ceases to amaze me with her skills, knitting being just one of them! She recently posted a free pattern for Clover Leaf Socks - how cool is that!


• Food for Thought, where Ashwini, like Shilpa, also sends me down memory lane with her Konkani recipes, like khath-khatha, Goan Fish Curry and mattha (scroll down on the page for the recipe).


• Food, In the Main, where Shammi has an amazing list of cakes and pies, an equally amazing list of dals and sambars, and a mouth-watering quick mango pickle. Head on over!

• Gluttony is no Sin, where Dr. G. Thamaraiselvan takes a break from consulting as a physician to blog about health and South Indian food.

• (Lima) Beans and Delhi Cha(a)t, where Sury writes from India and Cesar blogs from Peru. Sury has some enchanting Bengali recipes like ilish relish and Ranga Alur Puli. Sury is also an author and her thoughts can be found on her writing blog.
