Happy Valentines Day.
I have been asked to share some of my memories. I am not very good at penning down my thoughts and feelings, so thought to avoid it.....mmmm! I love my hubby S a lot!!! As a young girl I used to dream about my perfect prince, he should be this, he should be that .....and found everything that I wanted in my prince to be, in my hubby and more than that. I feel I am the luckiest girl in this whole world (I bet most of us think the same way!)
He is always there for me, understands me, supports me, loves me….he completes me. I love the fact that he pampers me a lot ;) and sometimes I feel that I am competing with my daughter! :).
The part of the heart shaped pillow that you see in the last picture was my hubby’s first valentine gift to me, after marriage.
We both love rice pudding(pal payasam) a lot...and now even our little one loves it. I think it will taste better when serve in the earthen pot, I didn't have one. Have to get it next time I visit India.

OOHH!!!!! Did I miss reading your love story the first time?? or did you opdate it??!!!!!!
That was really sweet!!!!!

Hi Sri,
This rice pudding looks especially pretty with the dried cranberries! This is a dish I haven't made yet -- will try with your recipe.
On an unrelated note -- your chole (which I am drooling over every time I look at it) calls for dried amla. I cannot find this *anywhere* and I have numerous indian groceries around. Does it perhaps have another name? Or if I used kokum would that be a good substitute? Thanks! :)
No Rooma you didn't miss I updated that part after Asha and Pooja asked for it. :) Thanks
Hi Linda welcome to my blog...rice pudding is easy to prepare...you will love it.
Amla should be readily available in indian stores...just in case you not able to get dried amla just opt out...do not substitute it with kokum....if you want you can add a good pinch of Amchur powder(dried mango powder)which is also readily available at indian stores. Do let me know how it turned out. :)
Beautiful & eye catching! sri, Am I invited ? wouldn't want to miss out this Lovely valentine dish ,I would love to try this:)
