  1. Madam,
    Really you are my inspiration to start a food blog of my own. I recently came across many of your photos for Badam Halwa, Mixed veg raita, Vendhaya dosa & many more on Mangala’s Kitchen & felt very bad on seeing them on other’s website. I don’t really like our hard works to be stolen by others. I don’t know whether you are aware of this. This is for your info.

    • Hi Rani Sundar,

      Thank you for bringing to my notice about Mangala’s Kitchen. I am not aware that this site is using my photos without my knowledge. I have written just now through the Comment page to her. Hope it will not be repeated again.
