I submitted a recipe but it is never posted on this site!

Our time is limited so that we cant test all the guest submitted recipes. Only tested and tasted recipes are posted on CheenaChatti.
We get tons of recipes each month from our readers. Of these we are able to test only a few and if found tasty, we will publish them.
Remember CheenaChatti offers you only tried, tested & tasted recipes.

Another reason for non publishing your submission may be because you violated any of the terms or conditions. In this case we wont publich it.

No, you cannot. All recipes posted on CheenaChatti should be unique. You cant simply copy paste an article from some one elses blog.

The best and easiest way is to use the search box on the right side of every page.
Just start typing in what you’re looking for and the search form will suggest you with the matching recipes.
You can also check our Our menu / alphabetic listing of recipes.

I tried recipe X but it turned out to be different than one in picture. What went wrong?

This is getting to be a long list of “I have no clue” answers but thats really the truth.
Its tough for us to know under what conditions you tried our recipe.
Use your discretion and hopefully things get better with practice.

Can I post a recipe of yours in my blog which I adapted from you?

Of course! All I ask is that you link back to our post and credit the original recipe to me by linking to my site. See Copyright and Photo and Recipe Permissions too.
