My first ever blogging experience...I will try my best to share my experiences through read worthy posts. 

Food, both cooking and eating is something I enjoy truly with all my heart. I love delectable smells, colours of vegetables and fruits, flavors of various spices and generally everything that is related to food. Falling in love with red kidney beans from the time they have just been soaked to all the way till they are eaten is who I am and I often end up questioning myself if thats really normal 🤔  For me food doesn't have to only taste good even if it is just an everyday meal..it has to look good and smell amazing too. Almost all our senses play a major role in deciding what to eat and at times bring back memories too.

In a world where restaurant style food has entered our homes, home cooking style is being adopted by many eateries for people who miss it. 

My cooking style is very simple.
My mother Shama Bhatia, taught me everyday cooking like rotis, parathas, daal, rice and sabzis.
I started baking bread and cakes when my best friends Swati and Sharu gifted me an oven.
My cousin Poonam, taught me how some restaurant dishes can be replicated at home.

I do hope you find my Meals and Stories worth reading and try out the recipes that I share. 

I will not be limiting this blog to recipes only. If theres a restaurant I've tried or street food that I've had, short stories or quotes or just how the days been will crop up too. My daughter loves playing the guitar and aspires to be a musician someday..Ill share her attempts as well.

My husband Avinash and daughter Manya are my biggest fans and critics so far. They are also the ones who have to eat all my experiments..😋 So heres....

MEALS & STORIES for you all with loads of LOVE from me..💖

Beginning my journey with a sweet dish - Kesar Rabdi

I couldn't think of a better way to start my  journey than by sharing a favourite sweet dish of all in my family and one of the easiest Indian desserts -   Lachchedar Kesar Rabdi Its a very simple recipe and can be made as easily by a first timer as by an experienced cook and makes enough for 3 to 4 people and that too with ingredients that are easily available at home.  Ingredients Milk - 1.5 ltrs Sugar - 2 tbsp initially *+ 1.5 tbsp  Kesar or Saffron 1/2 tsp each** Elaichi or Cardamom - powdered or whole Ghee (Optional) Almond and Pista for garnish *Initially put less sugar than required. Adjust according to taste when done as it may become very sweet once the milk reduces.  **Before you begin, soak kesar or saffron in milk and after it has softened mash it with a spoon...brings out a lovely flavour. Method Take a heavy bottomed Kadhai and just rub it with a little ghee (its optional)  Pour milk and a dd kesar and elai...

Exams and a bowl of porridge

Ever wondered why we have to appear for an exam and disliked the very thought of its existence?  Well, l guess most of us have and many would disagree with me too. Its not an opinion I hold, but yes when my daughter has her exams, I land up asking myself " Did I not have enough of my own share in school and college?" I guess Saraswati, the Hindu Goddess of Knowledge, Art, Learning, Music and Wisdom thinks I probably need some more knowledge or I didn't do justice to it in my growing up years. We didn't have the Internet and the World Wide Web when i was in school and even college..(ya ya I belong the pre internet era and you can keep guessing how old I am) to help us with our studies the way we do today. Now, I take a lot  of help from Google to make sure I am teaching my daughter the right concepts..(read - I don't trust my brains anymore). So many explanations are easily available on any subject or topics that I never studied in school.  With changing tim...
