Hello World

Hi,

I am an Indian who stays in US now. About a decade ago when I came here for graduate studies, Aai wrote some recipes in a notebook. Over time, recipes got added to the notebook. Now the notebook is coming apart. Hence this endeavor to document the recipes before they are lost.

These are simple everyday Saraswat home cooking recipes. I am not a newbie cook so the recipes dont describe the measures of various ingredients in teaspoons and tablespoons. Aai wrote them keeping me in mind and I cant help you if you dont know how much salt or spice to add. (A little Puneri attitude. I have been affected having stayed there for a few years.)

A
