Hello to all.

I have been following all the wonderful recipes floated in various threads. All of them are great cooks and very kind to share good things with everyone.
Here in this thread I wish people could pour in some good recipes for cooking on special occassions.
It so happens that when there is an auspicious day, our taste buds ask for something special and tasty !! Some people fast probably every week (fridays) or some people go for
No-Onion , No-Garlic kind of diet.
It will be helpful for me and lot of others if we share some good
'No-Onion, No-Garlic' recipes too!!
