Chapati
I have never tried making a chapati before in my life, apparently it is the most easiest and simplest Indian bread to make and yet, I have never tried making it. My mum made it once many many moons ago, but seeing as it is a drier form of roti, it never stuck around in … Continue reading Chapati
Bagels
I love a good bagel, but no stores in our neighbourhood never seems to stock any.

But sometimes the … Continue reading Bagels
