To be honest: "I knew nothing about the Karnataka cuisine untill couple of days. I knew just the names of the recipes.." ..:D
But, now .....with so many Karnataka recipes flying over the blogosphere, I am well versed with both the names and preparation of most of the recipes of Kannadiga cuisine. Thanks to RCI and Aashaji for hosting such wonderful event.
