Celebrating 2 years of togetherness

This post is dedicated to my hubby who is my best friend and my soul mate. He is the person behind this blog and also the photgrabber ;). When I was looking out for nice quotes I landed up here and found this very nice quote
"Love brought you together
As husband and wife
And gave each of you
A best friend for life"
Happy wedding anniversary dear.. May we share many more years of joy together.
Will update the post with my hubby's fav sweet "Kesribhath" . For now the picture will do :D



Update: Thank you all for your wishes. Here is the recipe as promised. Kesribhath in Mangalore is made out of rice and not with semolina.
What's needed:
1 cup Basmati rice
2 tbsp Ghee
1 cup Sugar
2 cups Water
few Cashews and Raisins
a generous pinch of Kesar
1/4 tsp powdered Cardamom
Procedure:
1) Heat 1 tbsp of ghee. Fry cashews until golden and raisins until fluffy. Keep aside.
2) In the same pan fry washed rice for 4-5 mins.
3) Add 2 cups of hot water and cook until done. Make sure that rice is fully cooked as it will not cook further after adding sugar. Add more water if necessary.
4) Add remaining ghee and mix well. Add sugar. Add kesar strands in warm milk and pour this into the rice. Mix gently and cook until sugar is completly absorbed. Add in the cardamom powder, cashews and raisins.
