An Indian Mom's diary of recipes and food memories
If you’re a Gen Z mom, you would surely know of “Krabby Patties”…he oh-so-famous patty with a secret ingredient at Krusty Crab’s in Bikini Bottoms. They’re fried good by SpongeBob Squarepants, using his *Spat* spatula. All money collected from the sold Krabby Patty hamburgers goes to the ever-so-greedy Mr. Krabs, […]
Ma never made crabs at home. No seafood particularly amused her as much as fish did. There are some rather crazy family tales on her love for fish — which I’ll keep for another day, another post. Also, during childhood, I don’t remember if we ever ordered a crab while […]
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 […]

“Cherry blossoms, the noble flowers, have witnessed countless encounters throughout the ages…Cherry blossoms, the short-lived flowers, have seen so many good-byes…And again, this year, they bloom to watch over a lot of emotions, in the season of beginnings called Spring!” Spring and April provides quite a welcome respite from the […]
Take an Apple round and red… Don’t slice down, slice through instead… Right inside it you will see, A star as pretty as can be! – Margaret Hillert’s Star Magic Thank you Margaret, I did exactly that! I tried to innovate and the “Star Magic” led me to make a beautiful […]
I was in India recently. It was a super short and rushed trip. With J’s one week spring break at school and husband-man’s leave-crisis, we could only steal 12 vacation days – travel time combined. After 5 long no-India years, we were ready to grab any chance that we’d get. […]
“Wicked Chickens lay Deviled Eggs! Really?” I asked with a smirk. S said “well, I haven’t seen them do it. But you go eat those poor eggs. I ate my chicken and there’s a party in my tummy!” Those who know S, definitely know about his syndrome. He’s got a […]
