I came across this site by typing ‘choc barfi’ on Google. How fortunate! I never knew a ton of recipe was out there on the internet, by someone no less than Tarla Dalal. My bhabhi has a book by you, which is probably thirty years or more old. She cooks from those recipes quite often. I am going to forward this link to her. She didn’t know about it. Imagine, TD recipes at your fingertips! I don’t think enough people know about this. You should definitely advertise, so they know about your site. Thank you for creating this website. Who knows, even I might have a go!
