Be My Guest Anjana : Rajma Cutlet

So this time my guest is Anjana.. Her Blog "Mayeeka" is one of the blogs I surf almost everyday looking for new recipes and guidance. There is something emotional about the look and styling of her Blog, which will direct you towards your own Mayeeka. For those who dont know what the word means, its the home of your Mother, which reflects in her Caption "All that your mother taught you". Thanks you Anjana for accepting my request to be the Guest for this month :)

Living in Dubai for past 27 years, Anjana is basically from Mathura UP.  Apart from being a traditional cook, she loves Music, Reading and Craft as  hobbies. The interesting reason behind this lovely blog is the marriage of her Daughter in September 2011. And hence she found this unique way of handing over her Culinary skills to her daughter through this Blog.

An Avid blogger, she humbly dedicates her accomplishment to her family and blogger friends. Her personal favorite from her creations is this Pineapple Sandesh which she prepared for her son. Well my personal favorites goes to the following entries by her. Although I love almost all of them , these are the ones I am really tempted to try once.

• Look how fabulously she has described  the making of these Super healthy Paranthas : Palak and Moong Daal Parantha 
• This Methi Papad Sabzi was quite new for me and is on my to try list now.
• I am hooked to this tempting Upside down Pineapple Cake , see how colorful it has come out .
• And who wouldnt want to try these Deep fried Vadas, people on diet, please dont click on the link :P
• This was the first post I saw on her blog and tried immediately, dont forget to try these Super tasty Chana Daal Paranthas. 

Over to Anjana now :
