Two Years back, with my husband's encouragement, when I started writing my blog, I didn't think that I will go this far and post more than 370 recipes. Today, iam happy that I could come this far, help many people with easy and simple recipes and more over get many virtual blog friends. Thanks to all my friends, visitors, my family and esp. my husband for the encouragement which is helping me to go forward with my blog.

Hope to get the same encouragement and blessings in future from all :)

Hometester Club - Unbiased Ratings and Reviews of New Products

I am a person who love to try out new products that hit the market. I usually come to know about them either through TV or through news paper. When i visit the store, i would try to buy that new product thinking that the new one tends to be an improved product.

However, it is difficult to buy all the new products as it is heavy on my purse and moreover it is like gambling. I don't mind spending money on good products. But you exactly don't know whether the new product is reliable, good or worth the money you are spending on it. This often restrained me from buying the new products.

Recently, i got a mail from Home tester Club about a business enquiry with bloggers. Till that date, i had not heard about this website. I thought to have a look at it and came to know that it is a website which provides free new product samples; and is the largest online community of shoppers to test new products and for sharing unbiased and uncensored rating and reviews.

I was interested by seeing their website and straight away became a member. I called them back in the number they had mentioned in the mail and they told that they would like me to post about their website and as a token of appreciation they would be sending me a mega gift hamper. 

I thought there is no harm in posting about an interesting and reliable website where in people get an unbiased review about the new products and which in turn will help them in choosing the right product. 

I waited for the gift hamper, but didn't receive the gift nor any mail from them for about 2 weeks.

But after some days, they called me to confirm that they are sending me the mega gift hamper and i will be receiving it within 2 days. As told by them, i got the gifts on the 2nd day. I was so excited to see the new products which i received. Here's the picture of the new products that i received from them...

I used the product and again visited their website. I saw many users like me who had received the product samples, talking about the product. I also participated in the rating and reviews section and gave my honest feedback.

I also read about many other new products and now i am sure that whenever i want to know about the new products, I will just log on to http://www.hometesterclub.com/

I thank Hometester club for sending me new product samples to try out. I am happy to post about this interesting and informative website on my blog. I am sure, this article will be a great help for you all who like to buy new products like me.

To become a member of Hometester Club, you can log on to www.hometesterclub.com/ind for free and get their free product samples to test and share their feedback.

Join the largest online platform for new products feedback with me.



Note for all bloggers: If you are interested in a business relation with Hometester Club, please mail to deepesh@hometesterclub.com and Amit.Kumar@buchanangroup.com by mentioning my name. They will guide you regarding this.

Homemade Tomato Puree

I thought I will share with you how to make tomato puree at home, so that you don't have to buy it from the store next time you need them.

The store bought tomato puree is bright red in colour and preservatives are added in it. It is really easy to make this at home.... Ya, its true that it will not have that bright red colour, but you can be sure that it is healthy.

• Take red coloured hybrid tomatoes and cut a cross on both ends with a knife.
• Put them in boiling water and simmer for about 3 - 4 minutes.
• Drain the water and let it cool for sometime.
• As the cut is made on the ends, it is easy to peel off the skin from the tomatoes.
• Once it is peeled, cut into pieces and blend it into a smooth puree. (some people discard the seeds also from the tomatoes...its up to you...both tastes perfect)
• Yea!!! your homemade tomato puree is ready to be added in your favourite dishes.



Tomatoes are blanched and the skin is peeled

My Kitchen - My World Of Flavours

A quick tour through my kitchen..................:-)

This is a place where i experience sweet, sour and flavourful journey from morning till night. Moreover this is the place where i am the BOSS.

This photo of my kitchen was selected as the winner for 'Clean Kitchen Contest' conducted by Scotch Brite. I got a gift hamper from them.

Mine is not a big kitchen, but not that small also. I like all the masalas and the frequently required ingredients to be within my reach. So i have kept the masalas, oil, tea, coffee, sugar etc in the cabinets near the gas stove.

Plates, vessels etc are kept in the cabinets below. Actually, I have an option to keep the spoons in the draw below the kitchen top, but i am forced to keep them in a big mug on the kitchen top itself, as my little daughter Dhanya is so naughty that she takes them for playing and when iam in need of them, they are not to be seen in the draw. :) I have to roam around searching for them... mostly find them in her toy box....

I love all my kitchen appliances....but one of my favourite is my microwave oven. I keep on trying different recipes in this. I just love it. Another recent addition to my kitchen family is the vegetable chopper. For a long time, i was thinking of buying this. But was not sure whether it will be useful or not. Finally, decided and bought an Inalsa Vegetable chopper. I was not wrong, it works really great. Helps me save time while cooking. If you want to be smart in kitchen, use the appliances which will save time and makes your work easier "if its within your budget" ;)


                                         My vegetable chopper

                                   My favourite IFB microwave oven

You can see the bread toaster on the left hand side of the oven. The electric hand beater (another favourite), measuring cups, daisy silicon muffin mould and some accessories that are used in microwave oven, in the cabinet below. Bowls and baking trays are kept in a separate cabinet as i have less space in this one.

So that's it friends...this is my world of flavours....my kitchen....

Hope you all loved my little wonderful space where i do all my experiments....

My recipe tasters are my husband and my kids...sometimes my mom-in-law and father-in-law....Thanks to them for encouraging me....
