Day Dreams

-
Speaking to my brother set me off day dreaming about all the things im going to eat once I get to Mumbai. Here is a list of food I want to eat on the streets. Of course Moms meals come top on my priority, but this list is strictly 'hotel food' as my bro calls it. Rishi this blog is for you :-)
Vada pav from the shiv sena stall near my place
vada pav from jumbo vadapav
Ragda pattice from Guptajis outside Andheri Station
Veg MacBurger from McDonalds (its a pity but there are no real veg macs here in US, the land of McDonalds)
Pav Bhaji from shivsagar
Pizza from Joeys or pizza hut
Shezeuan noodles from any udipi restuarant
Frankie from the Frankie stall in Lokhandvala
Chole bhature and Arbi tuk at Kailash Parbat
Gujarati Thali at samrat
Some of my best and warmest memories are from eating out with my family at these places. Can't wait to get to mumbai and take DH on a personal culinary tour of my favourite places

Most weekdays see me getting up really early at the crack of dawn to savor the fresh air,  and the peace that comes with solitude.  I  have to admit, though, that I  have never yet  managed to get up earlier than my Neighbors.  One would imagine,  that if one got up a quarter of an hour before sunrise,  one would be entitled to get up to the sounds of birdsong,  but no, I seem to live in a street of impossibly early risers.  I generally get up to the sounds of dishes being washed and of yards being swept all around me. Yet,  I  like to get up at this early hour and having gone through my ablutions and my  prayers, (just saying that links my soul somehow to all the men and women of all the ages past who did that very same thing,) sit down with a nice cup of tea by myself before the rest of the household wakes up,  and I have to get into the daily grind. Weekends,  however bring out all the latent spirit of ...

Orange Cake

Normally, I make it a point to post a dish as soon as I make it. I prefer it that way,as all that led up to the making of it , is fresh in my mind. Somehow or the other, I missed posting this one, although I made it quite a while ago and even took photographs, fully intending to post it. It all started with my son, clamoring for something sweet, and there being a surfeit of oranges in the refrigerator. The obvious choice for me to make an orange cake. In the mood for experimenting, I decided to steam the cake instead of baking it, and concerned about the effect all that maida (all purpose flour) would have on  my little one’s tummy I substituted all purpose with half of whole wheat and half of multigrain flour. The cake came out moist and sweet, with just the right tang of oranges. 3 oranges peeled and deseeded 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup multigrain flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup sugar  powdered (Depending on sweetness of oranges) 1 pinch powdered cinnamon 1 cup ...

There was this family tradition we followed since I was a kid, and which me and my husband have continued with our children too and that is to cut a cake and eat it so we eat something sweet to welcome the new year.It has always been our my fond hope and belief that in so doing we are ensuring sweetness and joy for each and every moment for the rest of the new year. Optimistic much?? I guess so!!  Idealistic?? Definitely Surely in all the twenty plus years, of  carrying on this tradition, even I, a self styled incurable romantic and stubborn idealist should have realized that this trick doesn’t work, that you cannot bribe the fates with cake, that every year will bring its share of joys and sorrow, and as thousands of  internet memes going around, and the cynic in me say,  “ A new year is just a change in date and no big deal. Circumstances don’t drastically change because it’s a new year, and the resolutions (making resolutions on new years is so passé) can...
