Gomathy Mami's range of batter is one of its kind. I had a chance to taste all of them and I must say that I was impressed with them. What makes these batter special? Firstly, these are fresh and do not have any preservatives. They are nutritional and healthy. The ingredients of these batter range are clearly mentioned, making one who consumes it to know as to what their intake is. If you look at it in close detail, these batter are helpful in controlling diabetes, cholesterol  and also helps in growth, weight reduction etc to name a few. I also had a chance to make them. I am sharing some of the pics herewith. To start with, it is Gomathy Mami's Brown Rice Dosa Now you may have a look at Gomathy Mami's Lentil Dosa Its time to look at Gomathy Mami's Millet Dosa Finally, it is Gomathy Mami's Multigrain Dosa What I have liked the most is the range and the taste.

Title - Dirty Martini Author - Kavipriya Moorthy Publisher - Story Mirror Cover Design - Sneha Jolly ISBN - 978-93-86305-01-5 This is the second book by the author, Her first book is " I don't wear sunscreen" which you should read, if you have missed it. About this book - I do not want to say much. It is all about 3 main characters - Preethi, Raghu and Prabhu. The book analyses the critical aspect of how a woman is being treated in the society when she wants to pursue what she wants and lead the life, she waned the way. No one, even her parents would be willing to support all the time due to various circumstances. I am glad that Kavipriya took a bold step and unlike other novels which has a smooth ending, this novel too did but in a different way. The mindset of the protagonist, Preethi would be appreciated by the like minded women and when I say like-minded, I am sure there is at least 95% out there in the present day which might be the reve...
