Memsaheb's Khanakhazana and Mirchmasala

What does cooking mean to me? Cooking meant staring at my mother bringing forth mouth watering samosas and delicious biryanis in the kitchen from apparently inedible ingredients. I wondered if I could ever become a magician like her. Ma didn’t like having me hanging around the kitchen. She would shoo me out saying, ‘You will always have to cook all your life once you are grown up.’ Occasionally I would manage to sneak out a samosa before the whole batch was ready.

How much healthier can you get?

Haldi ki sabzi and beetroot with aloo

For a variety of colours and making it healthy as well nothing beats haldi-ki-sabzi . Raw turmeric grated and cooked in desi ghee or any other oil. With garlic-curd for added health benefits. The beetroot accompanied with aloo just made me feel I can't possible present a more healthier option.
