An Indian Mom's diary of recipes and food memories
“Ae-mmaa, Baangali-r blog e mach nei?” (oh, a Bengali’s blog has no fish recipe?) said a “Maashima” (that’s how Bengalis formally address an elderly lady). “Chingri ache” (there are some on shrimps), I explained. “Chingri ki mach holo?” (shrimps are no fish!), came back the sharp response.

It’s the spring break here. Finally! The week’s been very welcoming and a well behaved host so far. Sunny days. Warm sunshine. Partly cloudy, romantic sky. Gentle breeze. Bright blossoms. Lush green leaves. Kids running and playing around. Pure manifestation of happiness everywhere. The husband man is going to be working […]
Wow, we stepped into April and are technically in spring! While everyone I heard and read from India has been complaining about the scorching summer temperatures, it seems we haven’t had enough of the wintery days here! We aren’t done yet. It had drizzled irksomely all of yesterday and its […]

Later, I also shared recipe for a no-guilt & absolutely delicious Khajur ki Kheer. There’s a thing about these no-sugar-added sweet treats…you feel so […]
Trust me, as I write this ‘cakey’ post, not a lick of crumb is left in my cake keeper. The last crumbs are partying in our tummies here. Please don’t judge me if I say I ate away the most. This one’s my favorite breakfast bundt cake, and I had […]
Let your taste buds take a dive into this quintessentially Tamil comfort food, and soak in the mouthful blend of subtle flavors…be Pongalifyed to believe! As I grew up in the north and in a predominantly Bengali household, I didn’t know much about south Indian festival foods. It all started […]
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 […]
