The lightness of Summer... Yogurt dip:)

Everything gone Green here. The color of Spring is greeting us. Raita the cool dish prepared in yogurt well known to everyone. Adding different cut veggies to the yogurt and seasoning it with mustard or other spices are enjoyed thoroughly with any kind of food preparation. A simple easy to prepare raita for you straight from my kitchen.

For the raita, peel and deseed the cucumber, halve it lengthwise and coarsely grate it. Mix it with yogurt. In a small pan heat little oil and put in half a teaspoon of mustard seeds and few curry leaves. When it splatter add it to the yogurt.

Enjoy your Spring/Summer time with coolants that you would love to prepare in your kitchen.

Summer table with Lilies:))

A few drops of rain, a few whiffs of breeze could make a garden bloom. How true are these lines. Last weeks a sudden down pour saw a grand parade of yellow and white lilies blooming in our garden. Lilies are summer favorites. Although this particular variety stay bloomed for shorter time arranging them in a bowl for this weeks table scape looked striking. Everyone knows wherever a few lilies stand they can still draw all eyes. For the table I used a hand painted floral motif linen which is with me for almost seventeen years. I was happy to use it for the first time and it looked good on the table. While I loved creating this table at the same time felt quite bad to see the flowers dangling next day.

This is my 200th post at Crystal Grandeur! As a profound blogger it is a moment of joy for me as well. It has been a wonderful journey all along. Crystal Grandeur blossomed in November 2011 with Diwali & Christmas decors and it is my small world where my imagination and creations comes to reality. I admire some of the blogs crossing 400+ posts. I appreciate and thank them for influencing others to do the same.

It helps me to keep moving forward with new and fresh ideas and doesn't let me be stagnant to one particular style.
