That was a pretty awesome spread.... :)<BR/>I like your blog and stop by to read sometimes.<BR/>The only comment I wished to make about this post was that in India, you do eat breads and rice at the same meal quite frequently in most parts, if not every day. So it is quite usual for an everyday family dinner to be chapatis, a dry vegetable dish, a vegetable with gravy and /or some kind of lentil dish, salad, papads, rice, yogurt, pickle/chutney...although that is on the more elaborate side.

I put mine in a mason jar in a small cooler with another mason jar of water that had just boiled. Leave overnight, and you have yogurt in the morning. <BR/><BR/>Easy peasy. :) Yogurt is really easy, and you can even start it with a couple of spoons of the yogurt you have on hand, if you like the flavor.
