I couldn’t arrive at a perfect dish for none of our Indian vegetables these days. No one prepares them with the same sincerity as they show to an exotic item! As a matter of fact…I browse for new recipes all the time! And, finally make my mind for the usuals ( subzi or curry)! But, […]

For years…I have been avoiding baby showers! Its a pure awkward moment for an unwed, never-been a Mom and men to be present there.

Two kinds of food exists in my household. Number one is something, that is well known to everyone…the authentic kind. For which, I ruminate n ferment the idea for a prolonged period of time! And, process it slowly…by procuring the ingredients, crockery or whatever! And, finally…(on some auspicious moment)…pull myself together to fix it!! Since, […]

Broccoli-Baby Carrot Rice: Life is flying fast in a flash second. I am wondering why is that, each year goes faster than the last. All my days here are like in that movie, Groundhog day. Its so monotonous. I can’t say which incident happened when…nothing sensational is happening around me…and am kind of running out […]
