I am a senior citizen. At present, kitchen is my laboratory. I think more and cook less. I try something whenever new idea comes to mind. My recipes are simple but interesting, tasty, diet friendly and quick with minimum oil and ingredients . I belong to Jain community , therefore my dishes are strictly vegetarian cuisine.
