I am an enthusiastic learner. Learning never ends. I am interested in cooking, singing, browsing, blogging, gardening, reading, music and so on. I am very outspoken and transparent. Cooking is an art and comes only by experience. The dedication while cooking and serving food with a smile will make the food more palatable.
My association with talented people in my life is the source of motivation and inspiration for me. Whatever I have learnt, I do it with sincerity and dedication.I also spend my time in spiritual activities.
I was a scribe for blind people,writing exams for them but now enjoying my time with friends like you and blogging. I teach music to children. I teach slokas(tuned) and music to homemakers. I keep myself busy. I run a children's club (honorary) and involve them in religious activities, patriotic activities etc.
If you have any queries, feel free to mail me at setlur.shanu@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThis is Shrinath Iyengar from Mumbai. Just referred to your book yesterday for Pongal traditional recipies and rituals and have found it to be of immense help. The food made as per your instructions where a complete success and was very much appreciated among friends and family. Many thanks once again. Look forward to more such traditional pieces of festive cooking and rituals from you. Is there an email address that I can correspond with in case I have certain doubts?
Wonderful knowing about you.. really you are inspiring me..

ReplyDeleteI accidentally came into yr blog while searching for Silver Pooja auricle cleaning. I am going to try it, It is simple! Manay a times we give it and exchange for another Silver Item because it looks very bad. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes to continue yr good work - I will go thru yr blog in detail.
THanks, Sivaraman
Dear Shanthi mami,
ReplyDeleteI really love all your recipes. One kind request, mami. Could you please elaborate about cooking on auspicious days, be it on Fridays or any festival days. In some household, certain vegetables are avoided on Fridays but some family dont follow that. For ex. in some houses, snakegourd, moong dhal, taro root etc are not cooked on friday but some people does. Could you please explain such practice in our iyengar culture? If possible, could you please list such foods to be avoided on auspicious days?
Thank you so much,
Pavithra
Hi Pavitra, It differs from family to family, however, I regularlay mention in my posts what are all used and not used in iyengar community. Keep reading.
