In Farrukh’s words, “A warm hello to all readers from Farrukh. First and foremost, I would like to thank Hina for sharing her space with me for writing a guest post. Let me take this opportunity to express myself and get connected with you. My passion and love for food was always there, but it only flourished about a couple of years ago when I started to write at Cubes N Juliennes. Blogging has further got me into professional Food styling and Food photography which are the main tasks keeping me busy nowadays. In my wonderful blogging journey of two years, I have met many beautiful personalities whom I would find hard to forget, and one of them has to be Hina Gujral. There is a small virtual world inside this enormous Gods world where I met her and was totally impressed by her commendable writing skills. Needless to say, but I would blindly trust her recipes and keep gasping at her food photography for on and on which just means that she is a full package of talents one better than the other. Her invitation to me for a guest post is indeed an honor for me so here I present a delectable piece of the Maharashtrian cuisine.
