Finally...I'm back on the blog!


Pweh! finally im back after disappeared for many months...I should say a year. My apologies to everyone out there in Blog-land.....I have been missing in action ;). Been so busy with my new life as a new mom, been busy moving out to other place and visiting my family back home in indonesia.

Many thanks to those who have been visiting my blog but found nothing.
So now, im back and here is my first post in 2008 Tandoori chicken. Tandoori chicken is one of the most popular dishes in Pakistan. The name ‘tandoori’ simply means cooked in a ‘tandoor’ or a very hot oven, often made of clay. but nowadays you can cook in the normal oven.
