Hello Shikha and welcome from Northeast Alabama (Southern State in USA). I worked with several Indian doctors in the late 1970s in San Francisco, California, & one doctor invited us to his house for a family dinner. I was told the rice would be hot, but Oh My Goodness. I will PM you for good recommendations of medium spices as I enjoy rice.
By the way, can you show us some of your quilting. I want to buy some of the Princess Mirah batiks. My Husquvarna Viking Sewing/Embroidery Machine is at the dealer now, so looking for a good pattern.
