Growing up, Falooda milk was only make 2 places. The first one being the first of the last three nights for our annual Navarti prayers. The elders and founders of our youth society would claim that night as theirs for years and years.

Pomegranate toast
So for some or other reason I landed up looking at Padma Lakshmi’s Instagram page. Don’t ask me why, as I have never really been a follower of hers, there has never been that appeal. Don’t get me wrong she has a killer figure and amazing fashion sense. Yes I see her in the headlines … Continue reading Pomegranate toast

Growing up, my mother was known for her milktarts. Whenever we went somewhere or got invited to a function, you could bet your last dollar that she would be whipping up milktarts to take.
