Salam alaykum Anjum,I didn't know Trifle has become famous in hyderabadi weddings,its been years since i attended a shaadi ki daawat The basic recipe for trifle remains the same ,you can layer with any fruit ,add a layer of ice cream ,use full fat milk to make the custard and add some whipped cream too.hope that helps dear:)

Hi Anjum,
I love this spicy chana ! While in Florida, I had to cook so many dhal dishes for my dad!
I can soooo relate to being busy and not much time for blogging!
