With many requests pouring into my mail box, I am extending the deadline for MPB-Street Food to 30th June, 2008. So foodies, you still have got one more week to indulge yourself with all delicious Street Foods from fellow blogger’s blog. Please don’t forget to go through the guidelines and mail me the details. Mean while please do check July edition of MBP-Less is More guest hosted by lovely Nupur of One Hot Stove. My apologies to Nupur and Coffee for any inconvenience caused by me.

It was not difficult for me to choose our favourite street foods. We have been making these two lip smacking-ly delicious Bombay Pav Bhaji from dear Nupur’s blog and Khatta-Meetha Khaman Dhokla from lovely Trupti’s posts ever since we tried it few months ago. We highly recommend these two recipes for everyone who are very fond of Pav Bhaji and Khaman Dhokla which is not just delicious but very, very simple to cook.

Nupur's Bombay Pav Bhaji is my contribution for Zlamushka's T&T, Archana's OneD and Madhu's YRR events.

Trupti's Khatta-Meetha Khaman Dhokla is my entry for dear Raaga's WBB-Express Breakfasts.

Announcing MBP-June

Update:
With many requests pouring into my mail box, I am extending the deadline for MPB-Street Food to 30th June, 2008. So foodies, you still have got one more week to indulge yourself with all delicious Street Foods from fellow blogger’s blog. Please don’t forget to go through the guidelines and mail me the details.

Is your bookmark page is over-loaded with recipes to try? Mine is. Every day it’s the same old story. Blog hop and bookmark mouth watering recipes which has grabbed your full attention. With so many recipes bookmarked I always look forward to participating in Coffee’s Monthly Blog Patrolling a.k.a. MBP. Here is one event which encourages us to cook something from our fellow bloggers blog which you had meant to try for ages but had no time till date. This is one event which not only gives you a chance to explore the food blog world but also spreads link love. And I am proud to be guest hosting June edition of MBP and this month’s theme is Street Food.

The term "street food" best describes the casual, delicious and local cuisine sold in stalls, carts and open air markets around the world. Chats and Kebabs from India, hotdogs from New York, Mexico’s mango on a stick, stir-fries from china, caramel-filled stroopwafels at an Amsterdam stand—street food is convenient, finger licking delicious, cheap(no pun intended) and tantalizing. From full meals to simple snacks to fast refreshers, the street food has it all. Well, I am a die hard fan of Street Food and I know many of you out there share this love for Street Food. So my dear friends hop around the food blogsphere, cook your favourite Street Food from fellow blogger’s blog and post it on your blog. Chats, Dosas, Stir Fries, Pakodas, Kebabs, Hotdogs, Kulfi, anything your tummy begs and heart desires and spread link love. Please carefully go through the guidelines posted below and send in your entries.

3. Post a picture of the final recipe on your blog linking it to the blogger (whose recipe you made) and to this event.
