    Me llaman muchisimo la atencion la variedad de especias de vuestros mercados. Nosotros las usamos mucho menos y lo más habitual es que las compremos en pequeños botecitos. Asi que no es fácil deleitarnos la vista y el olfato con imágenes como las que tu nos muestras.
    Encantada de conocerte.

Sri Krishna Jayanthi / Janmashtami Greetings to all. Though for a majority of India, its a month late, some parts of India, that goes by solar calendar,  is celebrating Sri Krishna Janmashtami on 8th September 2012.  In Manipal, the city where I am living currently is also celebrating this festival in a grand manner this week along with its twin city, the Temple Town,  Udupi. Udupi is known world over for the  Temple of Lord Krishna.

Filter Coffee I like coffee since childhood. I learnt how to make Filter coffee from my mother.My husband also is coffee lover. So my coffee liking continues to influence my present home as well. Filter coffee powder is different from instant coffee powder. In India, Filter coffee powder is sold in coffee shops and in grocery stores.

Upper cup is like a filter(with pierced base) for filtering out the brewed coffee. The upper cup usually comes with a lid and 2. Bottom cup to collect the decoction(brewed coffee) Today i will show you how to make Indian filter coffee. I have used a tradit
