From my student Nathan
I'm happy to share the pics shared by Nathan, who came to attend Indian cooking class here in Bangalore. He went back to his country and made Dal Makhani & Naan, Puri and Aloo Masala,
Wish I could taste it.

B'day Wishes
Today is Biju Charles birthday. This man....he's a gift. He's a gift to me every single day. I'm so glad that he has so much abundance in him, because it just extends to everyone around him - including all of you. It's so beautiful to witness that first hand each day.
Today he wanted to celebrate his birthday at an old age home, so we baked around 200 cupcakes and took it for them; it was such an amazing experience.
Made this marble cake for him with a replica of his very old Vespa scooter, which is as old as him and loves to drive it when ever possible. A big time critic of my cakes, hope he will like this Cake. Happy Birthday Biju
