Dhanyavada (Thanks)

Before I begin to take you on a joyous journey of exploring mouth-watering recipes from the Indian province of Karnataka, I would like to acknowledge my heartfelt thanks to:

my dear mother, who was a great cook and a greater human being. I have never seen such a noble woman in my life. She is the main inspiration behind my venture into writing this cookbook. I can proudly say that I have learned everything about cooking and its intricacies from my ever-giving and selfless mother. Unfortunately, she left all of us to her final abode last year and I am sure that she’s blessing me up from the heavens in this endeavour of mine.

my dear father from whom I have imbibed great qualities of life such as, healthy living, honesty and so also planning as well as organization skills.

my dear husband, who’s very supportive and also shares my belief in eating healthy, home-made, vegetarian food.

my dear son and my dear daughter, who have always motivated me to prepare as well as serve them with authentic Indian food at home.

my dear son again for his valuable technical inputs in bringing out my passion of cooking alive through this book.

my two sisters and brother with whom I have had memorable times of growing up together in the silicon valley of India, Bengaluru.

my Publishers, Xlibris Book Publishing Company who were instrumental in making my dream of
