No doubt how the hotel industry has been hit when the whole world is fighting against Covid 19. There is lockdown all over the country. We don't have any option to dine out rather we have to cook at home whatever we want to eat.
We have become very much habituated on outside food either it's cakes and bakes, or lunch and dinner, we order food online or go out in restaurants to celebrate any occasions like birthday, anniversary, kitties etc., but since we are left with no other choices but cook special dishes yourself. People are trying and developing their skills in cooking and yes I am no different and baked a simple vanilla cake topped with homemade cream extracted from fresh Malai (as I couldn't buy cream from near by shop due to lockdown) and chocolate sauce.
