When the theme for the month of june for THE FOOD EVENT SWC was announced,,,i was really excited...cause,..that way iTHOUGHT I WOULD be able to blog my mothers recipe...since the day i have started blogging...i keep experimenting with different cuisines,,i will choose one cuisine and prepare all the dishes of the same cuisine,.or some times,..mix two different cuisines..and at times,..try to create my own recipes,..so tahhari,baingan ka bharwa,khurchan,rabdi,.allo gobhi tamatar sabji,malai wala paneer ,and many more,,the list is endless,all inspired by my mothers day to day cooking..ya thats true,,that whenever she used to cook,..i never paid any interest,...but now when i try to cook,..i remember the taste.,,love,..and everything.,.sometimes just feel like going back home ,..i still remember how my mother used to cook all my favourite things when i used to go home during my vacations,as my .holidays were always of few days,..she used to cook my favourite eateries everydays,..or used to ask me what i want to eat posta ka halwa ,dahi wada and chene ki sabji was always on most wanted list,..back in delhi my younger sis used to pamper me with chats,..misti doi,..and sweets,..they all knw i am foodie,..really miss those days,..and my youngest sis...she used to take hours to prepare chicken,.just for me and she used to lock herself in kitchen so that no body disturbs her,..when she used to cook...now really miss those days ,..when i cook back here in singapore...sometimes these memories just flash before my eyes,,,specially when i am cooking something which remind me of my parents and sis...miss them a lot at times,..guess i am drifting from topic,..
