Presenting - The Recipe Diary

The Recipe Diary is the product of some heated discussions and arguments between me and The Husband (TH).

Every weekend we used to turn to the many recipe blogs and websites out there to search for a dish we can make using the ingredients we had in the kitchen. We had to do exhaustive searches online to find the recipe which met our requirements. Obviously, we were too lazy to walk to the store on a Sunday morning for groceries! This made us think how useful it would be if, instead of searching for names of dishes and being unsure of what ingredients are needed, we could just key in the ingredients we have and get a list of dishes we can make! And that's what led to the conception of "The Recipe Diary," which we hope in time will do exactly what we mentioned and make your life in the kitchen easier!

We hope to make this an exhaustive database of Indian Recipes, easily searchable so that the common bachelor, busy housewives, working men/women or just anybody who wants to whip up a quick dish, can find it here. We've added a friendly search form to help you with just that!

We think this database can grow only with your valuable contributions, so do keep them coming. There will be occasional contests and giveaways to get things heated up in The Recipe Diary kitchen so watch out for that too.

Note to all the participants of The Recipe Diary Contest.

Your submissions have been added to our spanking new website and is now searchable to anyone who is looking for good Indian recipes. The recipe will have your picture, your name and a link to your website so that you too get some link love from us :)

We would also really appreciate it if you can give us a teeny bit of space in your blog's / site's sidebar and link to us using the following logo. You would earn our eternal gratitude for it. You would also be the first to know about future contests and giveaways that we will be hosting in the new site and as much traffic as we can can send your way. Hope you can handle all this love! :D
We'll be adding lip smacking recipes reguarly and working on the overall look and usability of the website, but it's ultimately you guys who will make this database a success. Please do send us your thoughts, suggestions, critcism and we'll do our best to improve on them!

Hi there, thank you so much for leaving a note on my recipes and posts. I really appreciate it and do read every single one of them although it's not always possible to reply individually. I wish I could hire some people to do all the boring stuff in my life while I reply to all of you all day.

That was not even a joke!

Browse around, have fun. Hope you come back to visit soon.
