    Happy Navaratri to all my readers!

    We are starting the Navaratri pooja from today and we will be observing for the next nine days with special neivedyam for the Goddess. Please check my Navratri Special Dishes for more ideas to make these nine days. I hope you will find the page useful.

    Today I started with yet another version of Pulihora. I have so many varieties that I didn't go check but made a new one today. The sundal is the regular Konda Kadalai Sundal. Hope you will have a blissful Navratri season.

    Come back for tomorrow for Day 2 special.
