Spice of Life

I could give up meat in a heartbeat. That is not to say I can turn vegetarian...I love my fish. And how!

Getting married in a Koli family is probably the best thing that happened to the ‘fishitarian' in me. Growing up, we had pomfret, halwa (poor-man's pomfret) Indian mackerel, prawn, shrimp and Bombay duck (the usual suspects, I&#... more

Bombay Dreams Are Made of These!


Mar 14 2012 2:11AM

A city made of Bollywood Dreams, expensive slums and even more expensive high rises, a great melee of people, colours and aromas. Step down on any street in this megapolis and you will be greeted by a multitude of aromas, walk a few steps in any direction and you are ought to pass by a food based establishment which could vary from a small roads... more

Mastering the Sous

Here go the mushrooms for the third day in the row. My daughter has decided she is making Pasta. "Do you have all the things ready for the pasta?" I don't know if I will master this, but I will make a good sous chef by the time Kyra is done with me!
