I made this a few weeks ago and saved it to share it today as the blog turns 4 years old today! It's been a very interesting ride from the time it began.

I also enjoyed cooking and was getting a bit tired of hearing fellow Indians say that I probably don't know how to cook as I was not raised in India. :) Soon after the blog began, that comment started to slowly disappear and I don't hear it frequently anymore
Thought I would share a few of my highlights
My first post was a Potato and Carrot Curry
The 100th post was a biryani which is K's favourite Indian meal - Mutton Biryani
I blogged when my daughter D was 2.5 weeks. I remember missing blogging and needed a change from the constant feeding, burping and, baby laundry - so I left the baby with mum for a little and baked this Banana, Date and Walnut Loaf. This made a perfect afternoon tea for mum and I
Thanks for followin...
