You know where I am going with this, right? Arusuvai Friendship Chain, a cool event started by The Yum Blog and Bhags and Bharati where bloggers send "mystery" ingredients to each other. This exciting offer to taste new ingredients and cook with it, has caught the imagination of the food bloggers over the past few months. Read about my previous Arsuvai Friendship Ingredient recipe here.
Indira's goodies
When I came home today after a long day work, a delicious goodie bag from Indira of Mahanandi was waiting for me . As I opened the package, packets and dabbas filled with different goodies came out. There's Pappula Podi, Muruku, Mamouls, Karachi Halwa, Soan Papadi, Moong Dal, and a beautiful card. Thank you Indira!
Impromptu, I decided to upgrade the evening to a special teatime with Indira's goodies and tea in a pretty cup I usually reserve for special occasions. :) It was perfect end to the day!
