Spicey Minty Peas Pulao by Bhuvana Venkatesan

As you see Bhu is my guest-blogger today and before you move to checking out her adige, lemme introduce you to this Bindaas Gal.

I’ve known Naga (my friend, philosopher, guide for all the wrong reasons..hehe) for 6 yrs now and the best thing about him actually turned out to be his kid sister, Bhu :D . She is my official partner in crime. Be it learning bollywood jatkas, gossiping behind her bro, checking out pools to swim, eating ice-cream and all the other unnecessary stuff tat we girls like to do, am assured to have her around me. We have got a long “To-do-before-we-die” list and thanks to her enthu we’ve managed to make a good start!

Am honored to Bhu for trying her PR professional skills in making my blog known to all and equally honored to have her write her first Peal Pulav making experience ! So here you go …..
