    The picture itself looks so refreshing. I have never made one but will soon. With the summer on and its around 42 degrees of temperature this drink is really required. Also, i think its muchhhh better that packed and can drinks.

    Manjula, really some great recipes in here.

    Thank you very much for this web site! Within the last year and a half I broke up with a very special Indian girl and was spoiled on a daily basis with Ayurvedic and traditional Indian cooking from her mother. I stupidly after almost three years never learned how to cook the food properly. Your site has been a savior to me! I take my laptop into my kitchen and it feels as if I have my very own personal chef. Thanks again.

    I tried this today, it was most refreshing! I was surprised at how well the pepper and cumin went with the lemonade. I never would have thought of such a wonderful twist to one of my favorite drinks, thank you!!

    Hi Manjula,
    I made your Zucchini rice twice and absolutely loved it.
    I also tried your samosa recipe and so thats the best samosa recipe I ever found.

    Thank you.
