Hope all of you had a time celebrating Christmas !!! We usually go out for dinner with friends on Christmas & that was what we exactly did, this year too ..

December has been a busy month for me, & I was not able to post recipes as much as I had intended to. Anyways, I have one last post for the year 2010, My Mom's Chutney Pudi recipe ...
