Drum roll please..................The Winners are.....
Soma of Ecurry - Stuffed Bell Pepper in Arrabiata Sauce
Lubna Karim of Kitchen Flavors - Chocolate Banana Dessert
Since I received so many lovely entries from all my friends, selecting only 2 winners was not justified. I requested Meeta to select one more winner.
She chose Uma Priya of Telugu Ruchi - Millet Dosa
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!to all the winners. Your Gift will be posted only in the 1st week of January as I am moving from my present residence to a different city. So will take some time to settle down and mail to you all. Please mail me your addresses in the meantime. Once I post Your prize, I will keep you informed about it. Thank you for your patience!
I am so thankful to all the other participants who joined us in this challenge. Special Thanks to Meeta of What's For Lunch Honey for carefully going through each one of the entries and coming up with the winners name. I am sure it was a hard task for her to select only 3 from so many.
Have a great week ahead all of you!

Thank you!!!!!! is what I will say from the bottom of my heart to all fellow bloggers who participated in the Challenge contest.
I am so happy seeing the number of recipes. What I really liked the most is although some of your recipes might have been rejected for a particular ingredient in the NO LIST (there I go again!!!!). This did not deter you guys from sending more recipes (I am using the term 'more' here because many of you have really tried hard to send in multiple recipes, being extra careful about the ingredients,which are also healthy and just perfect for the contest).
When I see the number of recipes from you guys, I do feel a little bit awkward that I was not able to contribute much as promised. But some unexpected things have tied me to be away from my blogging work although I have loads of rocking recipes stored on my computer to share with you all. Hopefully I will be able to post more often from January.
Even if the challenge contest is over, I will definitely include all those recipes which are extremely healthy and belong here in this group.
From here Meeta, my dear friend will do the honours. She will choose two best entries.Over to you Meeta!

Aloo Gobi
This is one of the most easiest recipes I can think of when I buy cauliflower from the market. It's quick, easy and very tasty.
Ingredients:
Cauliflower - 1 (cut in to florets)
Potatoes - 2 (diced)
Tomatoes- 4 Fine chopped
Onion - 1 (fine chopped)
Ginger garlic paste - 2 tspns
Cumin seeds - 1 tspn
1 green chilly (slit)
Red Chilli powder - 1 tspn
Cumin powder - 1 tspn
Garam masala - 1 tspn
Coriander powder - 1 tspn
Coriander leaves - ½ cup
Oil - 1 tbl spn
Salt to taste
Preparation:
1.Wash cauliflower as mentioned here. Heat Oil in a pan,add cumin seeds, onions, green chilly, ginger garlic paste. Fry till the raw smell goes and till the onions turn transperant. Take care not to burn them. So do this on low heat.
2. Add tomatoes, and the powders like cumin, coriander, red chilly powder, then toss in cauliflower florets and potatoes together.
3. All of the spices blend really well when you add the veggies together. Add little water for the veggies to cook. Add salt.
4. Add garam masala and coriander leaves in the end and mix well.
5. Serve hot with chapathi, phulka, Jeera rice, etc.
Actually I can send it to the Challenge event I am hosting. So this and many more will be from the host.
Also sending this recipe to Vegetarian Thanksgiving at Fun and Food cafe!
