My First Awards Ever !!

Last two weeks have seen some fantastic things happening on my blog. It started with the terrific response I got for my Sandwich Festival . When I decided to host it I had not anticipated the huge number of entries that would flood my mailbox. So something that was initiated by me very casually turned into a real grand festival and was I thrilled to bits about it. Thanks again to all those who participated. While I was still basking in all the limelight and the attention that was being showered on my blog I got two more lovely surprises.

The first one was THE YUMMY BLOG AWARD given to me by Suma of Suma's Cuisine.

Thank-you Suma for the Award and for thinking of me. As I told Suma this is the first award my blog has recieved till date and will always be cherished. As per the rules I have to mention 4 of my favourite sweets and they are:1. Rasmalai, 2. Jilebi, 3. Sutar Pheni, 4. Puran Poli

The rules also state that I have to pass on the award to 4 other bloggers who I think put up the yummiest looking treats on their blogs. It was a tough job but after some thought I have zeroed in on these 4:

Ketki of My Two Cents

Nupur of One Hot Stove

Priya of Akshayapaatram

Sandeepa of Bong Mom's Cookbook

Congrats ladies !!

Now as if that was not jubilation enough for me that I recieved my second award in a matter of 4 days. This is the "You Make My Day" award. Hetal of Isha's Kitchen thought of me as a a suitable recipient for this award and my heartfelt thanks to her. Getting this award definitely made my day. I would now like to present it to Nandita , hostess of the very health-conscious blog "Saffrontrail" . Nandita's attitude towards cooking has always inspired me to make traditional recipes a bit more healthy without compromising on taste and flavour. So this one is for you Nandita and for Saffrontrail.!! Keep inspiring us to eat healthy!!
