They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but in the case of a blogger friend whose blog goes by the name of Prema’s Thaligai, it speaks a million words.. I am floored by the sheer length and breadth of Prema’s blog – a very popular one indeed, and her dishes and pictures just speak to you- be it the icing that she uses for her cakes or the traditional recipes that she dishes out with amazing regularity, I am sure you will agree as I do, that its indeed a feast to the eyes. Happy to present Prema as our guest blogger on this monthly featured guest blogger series, and I am sure that her recipe for me – Microwave Pineapple Kesari – will sweep you off your feet with its visual and aesthetic delight. Thank you Prema, for taking off time and presenting this lovely recipe !
