Homemade Layered Mango Dessert

Monsoons have made their grand entry giving us Mumbaikars much respite from the sweltering summer heat. Although clichéd, reactions like petrichor winds and tip-tip sounds of raindrops with trees and roads awash with renewed freshness are out in full force already. While typical monsoon fare like roasted corn by the roadside and pakodas with evening… Read More Homemade Layered Mango Dessert

X is for Xceptional Flavours #BlogchatterA2Z

There is a famous saying, “You are what you eat”. Logic dictates that this implies the effect of our food choices on our health, and rightly so.

T is for Tea #BlogchatterA2Z

A crazy Sridevi fan and super-excited that she was back on screen after a long time, I was looking forward to watching English Vinglish.

A is for Achar #BlogchatterA2Z

Food is incomplete without its accompaniments, much like a shirt is without its buttons. The main dish might hog all the attention and get an enviable place in the menu but without the free pickle served alongside our meal is only partially perfect. Wait, did I say pickle?

Now cooking, with son: Paneer Lasagna

Cooking and writing are two of my favourite hobbies. No wonder then that sharing recipes, which involves both, is fast becoming my favourite third hobby. 🙂 I prefer home food over outside food and like to toss up a storm in my kitchen with dishes I find interesting. Seeing how sportingly my guinea pig family… Read More Now cooking, with son: Paneer Lasagna
