There are some days when all you want is comfort, some familiarity, something that helps you hang in there. I find my comfort in cooking and in food! Paste few days have been turbulent in our business and it's driving me insane at times. So today I just wanted something that would feel like mumma's warm hug. Prepared this simple Konkani (gsb) style thali which reminded me of mom's cooking! Happy tummy and happy heart!
