I'm new subscriber of your blog. Now I'm visiting your blog regularly for last 2 months. I'm also Gujarathi and when I found your blog (I felt I found a treasure) I'm in CA and have no relatives so internet is my cooking reference. I made turiya-masoor dal, kobi sambharyu, beet orange juice, dal dhokali and want to try every dish on your blog. Let me know your email address and I will keep in touch with you.

Dear Kajal,
Thanks for all your efforts and time. I really appreciate it and I'm sure others too! I tried emailing on kajal11@yahoo.com but it bounces.
At times when I'm out of ideas and think humm... what to cook today, I open your blog and pick a dish. I also like how you make effort to put healthy drinks. I'm also very conscious of giving my kids best nutrition. There are lot of indian food blogs but I grew up eating gujarathi food everyday and I want to pass our culture to my kids, your recipes are great help for me.
