Strawberry Festival

For the last few weeks, I have been talking about Strawberry Festival. Finally, the moment arrived last Sunday, May 16th.

Talking to the enthusiastic audience about health benefits of spices. Not many people are familiar with Indian food.



I prepared a zillion strawberries to make Strawberry ChutneyStrawberry Lassi and Strawberry Green Salad with Ginger-Cumin Dressing.




I made lots of strawberry chutney and gave out samples. It was a big hit at the festival.


 Here I am with the Strawberry Festival chairperson, Angela Lopez.



Signed a few books. 


 Chatted with a few fans.


 I had lunch with my family at the VIP lounge.


The festival was filled with a zillion people. 


Entertainment for everyone.

  4. Komali, that looks like it was a very good day for you and your book. Yesterday I made your salad recipe again, but used instead of strawberries frest Thai mango. Was also delicious.
    Greetings, Johanna
