This page would be helpful for the non-Indians who are interested in Indian recipes. Hope they would like my recipes and give it a try :) In fact, i have couple of non-indian friends for my blog, who has suggested me to specify the ingredient names in brief.
so, i have decided to embed the images of all the ingredients that i have used in my blog till now. First, i am starting with basic ingredients : Urad dal, Chana dal, Moong dal, Cumins, Mustards and so on. Each of the image has been tagged with name of that lentil/spice. I got the images from the online resources. Thank you for all those who provided the images.

Asparagus is considered as spring vegetable, even though it is available through all the seasons. From my research, it is rich in protein, good source of dietary fiber, but low in calories and carbs. And also an excellent source of potassium, folic acid and vitamins A,C and K.
