But am sure its definitely a hard task to finish and close the list, however i dished out three of those bookmarked recipes as am running this week's blogging marathon with 'Bookmarked Recipes' as theme. I have bookmarked this delicious Thor from Jagruti's Space long back, to be honest a year back. I have been looking for a chance to dish out this incredible sweet and finally i prepared them at home.

Trust me, Thor is definitely a must try and we loved it to the core.
