Getting Started...

I'll try to post mostly indian authentic recipes for those who seek comfort and wants to enjoy cooking. Great chefs are not born, but created through a journey of salty, spicy, tangy, sweet experiments and yes, I fall in the same category. Most of the recipes i post will be simple and easy to prepare especially for working woman. How do i know that? Yes.. i know because i make them frequently in my own kitchen. Also, there are many recipes i learn from different sites of Mallika Badrinath, Sanjeev kapoor and tarala dalal. I've learnt these throughout the time and have experimented in my own kitchen with my own additions too. And, I would suggest you not to worry or get scared to try out all my posts as i have already experimented the same on my husband and parents ;-) and yes.. they are much more healthier .... Lets remember that the key ingredient of all the dishes are fun and joy... lets enjoy cooking.. ...
