My day won’t complete without entering into your site. your blog has the most number of healthy dishes… millets, oats ,and quinoa recipes..  They are simple and delicious . I have tried almost all of your millet and oats recipes. I should admit, that you have helped me in losing my post-pregnancy fat in a healthy way . Whenever I think of a new different dish, I would be able to find a recipe in padhuskitchen for that dish. This tomato oats recipe is something like that. I was thinking of tomato oats sadham today and found a recipe in your page for the same. Tried this recipe and everyone liked it. Thank a lot.

Dear Padhu! Being a Doctor & a wife, I am at my wits end how to cook & also put in lots of nutrients together without too much of time. Never liked the concept of cook. Your site is like adrenaline to many of us .Thanks for your recipes, I have really been able to cook & also eat well.Thanks & keep up the good work.
