No one warns about the joy of eating crispy moong dal kachaudis for the first time. And the pain afterwards! 🤓 I have adored home-made urad dal kachaudis for a long time. I have devoured them like crazy when they are freshly prepared and devoured them like crazy again when they are to be eaten…

My kitchen disaster XVI – how not to cook sooji appe
Circa 2020. Yes, we will continue the magnum opus of my disasters in the Covid-era. Sooji appe suddenly mesmerized the influenza crowd like the pied piper swaying the rats to his tunes.

My Kitchen Miracles – IX – the uselessness of cooking beetroot halwa
We will again go through the pages of Circa 2020 A.D. when food influenzas were exploring the most non-hackneyed edible dishes but they ended up crafting Maggie dosa. I had a weird urge in me to craft colourful dishes as they attract attention towards the post and push you to think from the end perspective…
My kitchen miracles – VIII – zucchini pizza bites
Although I’m not done about writing about my kitchen disasters, writing a miracle story helps the readers to know that this lady is not crazy and always creating unedible items.

My kitchen disasters XV – the weird amla chutney
During the modern plague-era a.k.a covid—era, there was a lot of stress on consuming Vitamin C the way we consume water.

Satirical reviews – The Northern Lights
Not every fantasy book is awe-inspiring and will keep you hooked to it day-in and day-out.

The beauty of cuisine – I
No one, absolutely no one talks about the charisma of our chickpea/chhole curry. The obsessive way in which one might devour these humble legumes is unparalleled. The way the grainy texture melt on your palate when your 32 crush these legumes is culinary finesse to say the least! And let us not even talk about…
Sabotaged by the menu – part II
The combination pandemic age and alcohol has a tendency to bring forth a host of interesting stories. Nope, my Covid-era sagas are not ending so soon. So in 2021, when we got vaccinated after the deadly second wave and started coming out of our shells to experience our normal lives, my mother and sister hatched…
My kitchen disaster XV – the bajra besan laddoo
As a food blogger, I am inclined to experiment with new recipes now and then, especially around the festive season. But this time, I did not wish to craft the usual sweets. I am always on the lookout for unconventional recipes that are a bit guilt-free. 😇 Before you unceremoniously term me as a health…
Sabotaged by the menu – Part 3
This post is going to be a short one because I posted a heavy reel on my exploration of Ellora caves while remembering the history from my civil services preparation days, fact checking, editing the clips while deciding what to keep and what to remove and drinking copious amounts of water while recording the voiceover. …
