'Only' Original Recipes - Event Round Up

Tried and tasted by Nivedita

Hi All,
CHAK DE INDIA.... CONGRATULATIONS TO THE INDIAN TEAM AND ALL THE INDIANS. 
Coming about this post,

Here is the most awaiting round up of the event. 
When Pari asked me to choose this theme, I was hesitating to take it, as I was not sure about the entries I am going to get(This always happens with me :-)  ) But Pari was sure about you all. :-) 

And she was right.  I started getting entries from the day one I announced the event.AND I GOT 86 UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL RECIPES.
Now, it was my responsibility to check the entries and to check about their origin. As the event name itself is 'Only Original recipe', I had to follow the rules.
