  17. Wow, beautifully presented and I love the addition of adding vermicilli to it. I noticed that you have linked it to my Bookmarked Recipes event. But, this post, doesn't mention anything about the event or where/when you bookmarked or anything of that sort. Did you link it by mistake?

  19. Also, I had to delete one of your links, as the title said "Dill/soya leaves Fritters", but the link was this same kheer link. Please let me know if you have one other that you want to link.
