NAMASTE !!!!
I owe a great deal to my mom who would always prepare delicious snacks, savouries & munchings wherever she was. She is 85 now and enjoys good food even today ! My childhood was spent in Mumbai , the then superb town , with literally no pollution and that too within the Naval Base in Ghatkopar, where we got a multicultural community to move around with.
I start this blog with the total dedication to my " Parents" who have always inspired me to cook with trial & error!!!
Last but not the least , my dedication goes to my family..... my husband and my children !!!
Yes, they are a total motivation for me !
This is a totally difficult to deal recipe, but I assure you, once you have tried this, you will never ever go for the bakery stuff !! Try it out and do let me know. Give me your feedbacks, as you all are my punch .
