Hi SUPERMOMS,

With summers setting in, I will be sharing more of cooling recipes. The best part of these recipes are that they help us remain hydrated and is so easy to make. This means that we need not stay in the kitchen for long hours...Being in Delhi does'nt make things easy for me!

What I want to say is that we all want to cook minimal during scotching summers...and such recipes come handy!!!!
