Ugadi Greetings with Ugadi Festival Brunch 2012!

Ugadi Subhakankshalu!  Happy Ugadi to all my readers!

I have taken the day off today and finished my pooja by morning. Made the usual neivedyam along with couple of new sweet offerings. It was a brunch for us and planning to visit parents home for the traditional Ugadi feast.

Enjoy your festival day!

Ugadi Special Recipes

With Ugadi just round the corner I thought I will list out our festival Ugadi Special Dishes that gets done at home. Growing up Ugadi has always been a special day, spent with family. This year I might be missing out on the action as I will most probably be working. Still we will do the pooja early and have a mini feast if not the elaborate feast that normally happens. Will keep you posted on that. Meanwhile you enjoy these Special Ugadi Dishes.
