    With summer approaching will look forward to such coolant raitas.
    I agree it's irritating at times especially when it comes from grown ups, I think telling politely to stop it is a right thing.

    hey.. nice raita.. loved the pic..the presentation.. i can get the smell of roasted cumin..
    U did right by asking them.. everybody has the right to enjoy movie but not at the stake of others.. Btw, did u like it? It found it too dragged and didnt understand why Karan Johar had to bring in the hurricane?

    You absolutely did the right thing by telling the 2 ladies... I would have done the same. I have not seen the movie yet so cant comment much on that! The Raita is very refreshing

  22. PJ24 February 2010 at 15:29

    I think you did the right thing.. that was just telling them about what should be common sense. Butternut squash raita looks so delicious! Never thought of using butternut squash in this way..

    Lolz jagruti I thought you were going to review the movie my name is khan when I saw your post title instead you wented your frustration at inconsiderate people in cinema halls!!!!he heee
    Anyway coming back to the topic your raita looks yummy.I bought butternut squash today its huge and was wondering what dishes I can make with it,its too large just for curry.Thanks for this raita I will surely try it.

  26. Sushma Mallya24 February 2010 at 17:04

    ya u did the right thing jagruti, its really very irritating if they do such thing while the movie is going on, half of the thing u dont understand actually as to whats going on in the movie only...and i love the recipe, something different and nice

  27. priya24 February 2010 at 17:05

    U r rite, sweet heart!..i too hate people doing that..people even tell dialogue's of the upcoming scene..(they wud have come for second/third time)..this really is annoying!!..multiplexes here dont have plastic packs!,,anyways hope u liked the movie..

    Raita looks so cooling and refreshing, dear!

  28. Asha24 February 2010 at 17:19

    You did the right thing! It is so annoying when some start to tell the story to their relatives just before it all happens too!! Why bother watching when she is running a commentary! :D

    What's MNIK? I am out of touch. I watched Paa on my 60" Plasma too, much better than going to theater unless it;s like 3D movie.

    Delicious soup, great for sipping spponfuls and watching movie.

    Jagruti,

    what you did was absolutely correct. raita looks good. Did you like the movie. i haven't seen yet. Going to cinema hall is not possible with my little one. i will watch it my home theater when DVD comes out

  30. Preethi Rajeev24 February 2010 at 19:13

    Raita looks yummy ,Sad to hear about your bad day, i believe you did the rt thing.

    I had the worst experience when we were in Atlanta, the man who was sitting behind us was having a cold and he started spitting on the floor. Can you believe that,i was so irritated and just wanted to leave the place. The first thing i did after coming home was a bath with dettol.So disgusting
