An Indian Mom's diary of recipes and food memories
It was my first baseball game…some good few years back. Big-J’s school was selling family tickets for the evening and we bought for us. Somerset Patriots versus Sugar Land Skeeters it was. I had never taken an interest in this game and didn’t know a thing about it. All my […]
Hope you all had a happy colorful Holi? Here’s the Gujiya post I did last week if you haven’t checked that already. We aren’t done with the colors yet though…Its mid-March and almost Spring. Did I just say spring? After a well behaved winter and frequent warm sunny days earlier this […]
During my growing up years in the Northern plains of India, Holi celebrations held a very dear place in heart. The festival of colors, was a grandeur event there. The day the whole township would come together. Everyone played colors, and visited each other to wish. How I miss all […]
I have very fond childhood memories of Shakarpara. Ma’s kitchen would suddenly become this mill, producing big batches of fresh, hot, fried Shakarparas in no time before Holi, Deepawali, Vijaydashami or the holidays.

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 […]
Yes, it is still summer and it’s lovely! It is breezy good outdoors today…and what a beautiful afternoon. I peeped outside through the blinds on my patio door. There were children running all around and playing on grass near the lake. There were grandparents, mom and dad with their kids […]
As an egg-dotter Bengali, who grew up in North India, I’ve been so used to the infinite loop of “how to combine potatoes with eggs!” That’s something I was often fed as a child and now I feed my kids. There’re both comforting and curb my cravings. Easy, quick thing […]
Homecoming treat for Mrs. Indumati…… Last December, Big Sis J brought home a stout card stock Gingerbread Man cutout from school. The first graders had an assignment on Festivals. Every child had to write about their favorite festival and dress-up the Gingerbread Doll traditionally, as he/she would for that festival. And J wanted […]
