Hi friends....

 Everyone must be aware of SNC challenge organised by Divya Pramil. Check here for more details...
This is an excellent event to know more about other regional cuisines...I am very happy to be part of Southern team and the challenge we got from North team was Bhel Puri from Shruti's Rasoi.
Bhel puri, a well known north indian chaat ....made up of veggies, puffed rice and chutneys.
Prepared this for the first time...Had lovely experience while preparing and the happiness filled while serving was unmeasurable :)
