I usually use Indyarocks and sms7 to send sms to my friends for free but it seems that both have been shut down pending the court rulling in UP. Has anyone got another site where they have been succesful sending SMS today?

I want to plan a special lunch for a relatives birthday. All items should be vegetarian and he loves Puran Poli so I would like to include that in the menu. Please suggest which items you think would be good for subji(vegetable entree), dal, snack(samosa, khandvi roll etc), etc. I'm looking for a complicated menu. I love cooking but I'm not always sure which things go well together.

I am trying to find a recipe for Salam Pak and I am not sure about the spelling. I have searched the internet for variations Salaam/Salem etc. but was only able to find one picture. Does anyone have a recipe or know the proper spelling so that I could find a recipe. This sweet is somewhat dark brown in color and is traditionally made during the winter season. Thanks!

I would love to make some roasted soybeans but I don't have an oven or microwave, I just have a gas range. Does anyone know how I can make them?

I am trying to figure out which snacks I should make when people come to visit. Usually I make Gujiya(Rava), Sukhra Para, something that looks like paaper w/ spices on it (sorry I don't know the name) and sometimes chukri or banana chips. What can you suggest? Sorry if the spellings are off. I am an American and only write what I hear:-)

I already know how to make curd but I want to make this thicker version. I would like a detailed recipe. What type of milk to use cow/buffalo/toned etc? What type of vessel you usually make it in? How long will it take to set? Do you keep it in a thermos or wrap it in anyway etc?
