I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with cooking. I go between the phases of cooking so many new recipes to resorting to Maggi as a life saver. Being married to a Punju who favours the rajma, choles and the various parathas and managing two boys whose interests vary from bhindi to pasta had me go […]
Easy to make pancakes
I am not the type who likes elaborate recipes. I need something that does not take much time and can be made in a matter of minutes. I hate the cooking on a slow flame for X mins, followed by cooking on a medium flame for X minutes types of recipes. I can’t even to […]
Awesome Veggie Cutlets
One of the most craziest tasks I have in my life is to get my boys to eat their food. They have a varied taste in food, while I would succumb earlier to make something that each one liked, I realized it was not the wisest thing to do in the long run. And being […]

Cheese and Macroni
This is what my mom would make for me when I was a kid. I used to love the taste and needless to say, I was very much keen to make the same for my boys. What I took: 1 cup of macroni – boiled, strained and cooled. 1 cup of chopped veggies boiled ( you can […]
Chillas and Garwanu
This is a Gujarati dish and it proves quite a wholesome meal. My kids like to eat this for breakfast and well as their lunch. When the wanted something different and tasty, I knew that it was time to think “differently” too. Luckily my sister-in-law was visiting me for a short while and she displayed her cooking […]
