Chilli Chicken and a short trip to Kerala

Sorry my dear friends, last month I was out of town and was enjoying vacations in my home town in Kerala. I couldn’t inform any of you, but thanks for all your love and support. I missed all of you a lot and mostly my little space.

It was actually a short trip but enjoyed a lot with my parents and in-laws, ate to my heart’s consent whatever I like, a 2 day trip to Munnar, in between my cutie pie’s b’day, roamed here and there in Cochin and last but not the least did lots and lots of shopping. And yes, I did collect a few recipes too.. Sigh.. and I am back to my daily routine..:-)
