Another shot of the satsuma mandarins I purchased, this time in my daughter's hand. I tell her she has expressive hands and she laughs saying they look aged.:) Nicer in black.

This photograph along with ten others is available to two raffle prize winners in Siri's fund raising event for "Vaidehi home for destitute girls" in Hyderabad.

The rest of the photographs can be seen in my gallery on facebook.

I used carob powder for the very first time yesterday and I loved it! It is not exactly cocoa powder but it is pretty close. The frosting is made of cashew cream with strawberries and strong hint of thyme. Thyme is so addictive!!

The green delicacy I talked about earlier. It is not a very photogenic dish as there is a lot of greens, and vegetables. But it is one of the most delicious dishes in Indian Cuisine. Do try it! Post and recipe on blog.

I am not sure which species this orange belongs to. They are oranges but the size of kumquats with paper thin peels. Here they are sold as 'Chinese orange', but I am sure it is not. They are very sweet and the whole fruit has just one seed. Each segment is the size of a kidney bean. Do you know about them? If you do, tell me about it! I am always happy to gain some knowledge.:)

Tasty and interesting. My 7yr. old neighbour likes to hold my fruits for me when I take photographs. She has been doing it ever since she was four! This is Aarya holding the fruit in her tiny palm.

As Manisha says, these are 'satsuma mandarin oranges'. I checked one of the sites. The size of these oranges are about 1.8 inches in diameter and are exceptionally sweet. They are also seedless. Fits the description perfectly! Thanks, Manisha!
