When I was working in Bangalore, I used stay in a PG with North Indian friends. It was a very nice experience for me. I could improve my Hindi and yea ofcourse I learnt some north indian recipes.

Thank you Vidhi!! I have never seen any girl, who can make dishes so perfectly and easily…and it was so yum…she shared so many recipes with me, and most of them are healthy and easy to prepare. I will keep uploading those recipes whenever I prepare….
