An Indian Mom's diary of recipes and food memories
This weekend is marked Makar Sankranti on my calendar. It is the Indian festival of harvest. Wiki-guru informs me a couple other things too…that this time marks the first change post winter solstice in the Sun’s celestial path as it transitions into Aquarius from Capricorn…and that this day also has […]
Life is beautifully strange. Though I love being a quintessential Mom to my two girls and pamper their tummies with endless favorites on occasions and otherwise…I miss being that little daughter who, on being treated with the choicest of special foods, would run to her Ma and throw her arms […]
Yes, it is the Holiday season! And the Holidays mean so much more than the Christmas tree, or jingle bells, or the red, green, gold or white…or the illustrious Mr. and Mrs. Claus. There’s something magical about the crisp cold air around this time…the type of winter air I associate […]

I just got away with the last raw mango of the season. Well nearly the last one! We were at this Indian store that was 15 miles and a half hour drive away from our place. We were gone there for some other essentials and decided to pay a visit […]
We were back from our vacation last Sunday. From New Jersey we had driven to Pennsylvania, and then to Massachusetts and New Hampshire, before getting back. And all this in 3 days. The days were totally thrilling and were adventure-filled like no other. But I must write a detailed one […]
August flew away in a snap! I was caught up neck deep in many things. Then towards the end, I realized I haven’t blogged enough about summer recipes. So, I wrote and shared half a dozen sweet treat recipes last month. Summer isn’t just about sweets. I agree. It is rather […]
