Click Event.....Bicolor and a small break!!

Dear Foodies,
I am taking a very very small break from blogging as my parents are visiting me for few days and I am busy spending some quality time with them. Its been more than 7 months i last met them so you can understand how much i need to catch up :)) I am also taking them around switzerland, and oh boy its fun to see our parents turn kids :) everything here seems so new and exciting for them!! This happiness is priceless!! So dear friends i may not be able to post new dishes and also visit your blogs regulary, though i will try to schedule some post in between, i promise i to catch up asap!
My mom got me sooooo many goodies from india, she herself is a complete foodie and loves to try out different cuisines, so now you know from where i get my interest in cooking, yes my mom! As you all know my love for snacks and chaats, my mom got me all kinds of snack item i was craving for from past one year! She got me banana chips both salted and spicy, kachoris, bhakarwadis, sev, puris, spicy chana daal, salted moong dal, khakhras, aam papads, my favorite chocolate wafer sticks and TANG....yessss its one of my favorite drink, i used to have it all the time at home, perfect for summers! She also got me a big packet of dates (khajoor) and imli (tamarind). Methi theplas are by default, being gujarati we always always take methi theplas whenever we go out for a trip, it has many advantages, they are healthy and nutritious, extremely tasty and they dont spoil for weeks! I can live on methi theplas for weeks and i love theplas made by my mom, they are the BEST and my friends would probably kill for these :) Arnt mom and dad the BEST?
Few days back i had made Rava Laddoos for Indian Cooking Challenge during which I captured the below click. It looks perfect for the monthly photography event by Jugalbandi where the current theme is Click: Bi Color. The above click is off to the Click event. See you all soon with some mouth watering recipes!
