A self taught cook and foodlover, I enjoy the time spent in my kitchen. Listed here are a series of my tried and tested recipes learnt from the family and elsewhere. They are simple & easy; done with kitchen staples. Some of them are experimental. Of them, only those which appeal to my family's tastebuds more or less are shared in the Blog.

ADA PEYAZ BATA PABDA MACH
We already ate Luchi & Chicken cooked last to last Saturday for our lunch! Once the man came back home; instead of chatting we started yelling at each other. He cannot make his son behave normal but can shout at me. I wonder why his family having a sweet tooth, was not in the habit of speaking nice & soft! Even in off mood, I cannot neglect my home, duty! I had on mind clearing off the leftover food! I served the man the keema ghugni, palak paratha made from the leftover dough and jeera rice cooked using the stale rice. I was pretty sure, I would not have any amount of rice or roti!
The man who is in the habit of wasting food, ate only half of the rice. I had to eat that rice not wanting to waste! This is also a reason why clean eating does not happen in my case! My lunch today was semolina parathas, mixed vegetable & yogurt; also updated one older blogpost!

NARKOL KORA DIYE JHINGE GHONTO
I really do these days. That is why I keep my hopes alive with regards to the son. Although, bhai does not show much love for the family, rustic recipes, neither T! But they eat them; may not be with love! The son is refusing to have any amount of vegetables unless you serve them in disguise of a stuffed porota, puffs or a shingara. He inherited his mother's love for finger food. Mumma is sad she cannot cook enough for him and feed. When with us, he ate more number of meals than what he eats while in the dorm. Is it because he does not always wish to go & fetch food for himself? This can be a possible reason or may be the plates in that country are pretty big! But this mother; who herself is a foodie worries a lot because food is an important part in her life. Look, what she is eating at 6:30pm!
I was out for a long time today and my lunch was a plate of Rojak. Back home, after a good shower, I felt hungry; I do not know how to control my hunger. Not all of my life's shots do I take, my readers do not have an idea what else I keep eating all day! Thats a pleasure!
I WAS OUT ON SERIOUS WORK, NOT TO HUNT A FOOD COURT!
A normal optic shop could not get me a progressive lens! I was angry because I wanted a low priced lens did not mean one does away with the right powers to be given. But the best part of this island is that the natives are majorly honest; they payed back my money! I felt disappointed, exhausted and walked to the Hougang Polyclinic; given I was in that area. The process of seeing the doctor & doing an x-ray of my stiff neck & shoulder had been long. Once there, I was missing my son severely! We went there together and spent quite sometime through the entire process. I was alone today! Again, tomorrow is a long day, I am to shop for raw ingredients, go to a proper optician, then visit the Hougang Polyclinic! Today, I sat, brood and was comparing the cost of health services in India. I realise how cheap it is there, what work load the entire medical fraternity in my land take; a first world country cannot think of taking that risk & load. Where from the Government Hospitals in India improve the facilities? Where would the revenue come from? With that, after almost seven years; I went to that section of the Hougang Bus Interchange where we were regular to take the loop bus to our then condo; at times met T when he stood in the queue while returning from the office! This is one reason he wishes to stay in this area where we presently stay; extremely convenient to commute!
