Aaj ka lunch 😍

Sepu vadi aur parval aalu ki gujrati style sabzi.

Dinner tonight began with a small declaration:
“Mama, I’m cooking.”

And then came the second line —
“Mulberries are going into the pasta.”

Now when your daughter says something like that, you do pause for a moment.

We’ve been getting bowls and bowls of mulberries from the terrace these days, and Kishi said she wanted to make something a little different for me.

The pan began simply — butter and olive oil, garlic, onions, and walnuts gently sautéing away. Then in went lots of sage leaves, along with tomatoes, carrots, and beans… all freshly picked from the terrace and so tender they barely needed cooking. Just a touch of salt, very little pepper, and a little lemon zest.

There were also Kalamata olive slices meant for the pasta… although I must confess that while standing there watching her cook, I kept nibbling on them. By the time they finally went into the pan, there were clearly fewer left — but somehow the amount that made it in turned out to be just right.

The pasta went in with a splash of pasta water, and right at the end she tossed in the mulberries. One quick toss, a little Parmesan on top… and dinner was ready.

And I must say — it worked.
Sweet, tart, savoury… all somehow perfectly balanced in one bowl.

What made my heart happiest, of course, was that so much of this dinner came straight from our little terrace garden.

A simple meal, a new idea, and such a lovely surprise from repertoire.

Now I’m curious —
would you ever try mulberries in pasta?

And if you do give this a try, save the idea and come back to tell us how it turned out. 🍃🍝

Delhi summers are well and truly here now ☀️
Which also means it’s the perfect time to start making dal mangori at home — completely from scratch. Just soaked lentils ground into a batter, lightly seasoned, and then dropped out in the sun to dry. Simple ingredients, sunshine, and a little patience… and you have these tiny flavour bombs ready to go into sabzis through the year.

Lunch today stayed very much in that simple, seasonal mood — ghiya two ways, one as a light sabzi and the other as a cooling raita, with roti and some leftover sukha urad dal.

And of course kanji with vada on the side. Everyone talks about kombucha these days, but honestly this is our very own probiotic — earthy, tangy, and made exactly for North Indian summers.

Simple food, seasonal food, and the kind of meals that quietly do everything right.

कभी-कभी सबसे साधारण दिन ही

आज वैसा ही एक रविवार है 😍

Last night friends came over for dinner, and of course I cooked thoda extra… bachche aaye ho toh table full hona hi chahiye 🤍

Today it’s not “leftovers”, it’s a proper Mama ke Treats lunch — cholia paneer, zucchini ke kofte in beti Kishi’s style ki makhani gravy (uska apna special andaaz), patla mix-aata paratha, pyaaz wala pulao, fresh kuchumber salad and a little sarson ke tel mein bani hui sarson ki bhujia on the side.

Kal raat guests, aaj ghar wale VIP treatment — as Kishi says, yahan good food always gets a second round… sometimes even better than the first ✨

My children always made sure that I shared my cooking with the world. My husband, especially, never stopped encouraging me — he was always so proud of my food and never tired of praising it. Because of them, my cooking slowly moved beyond the walls of our home, reaching people known and unknown. That journey is what led me to start my workshops.

Over time, these workshops have become a source of quiet joy. They’ve brought me not just opportunities to cook and share, but the gift of meeting generous, curious, warm people — connections I truly cherish.

Today, I cooked with two beautiful women visiting India from the US, and it was a lovely experience. Working side by side, sharing stories and food, felt effortless and special. Moments like these remind me how deeply food connects us, and how grateful I am for this journey. 💛

P.S. Thank you to my sous-chef — my eldest.

Leftovers were never a problem in my kitchen.
They were simply food — meant to be used, enjoyed, and cared for.

Long before zero-waste kitchens became a trend, this was just how we cooked. Slowly, patiently, thoughtfully. Nothing rushed. Nothing thrown away. This is how I cook today — for my children, for my family — enjoying every step of the process.

A simple example? Our terrace gobi. The leaves never get wasted — they turn into a soft, nourishing bhurji. A little mustard oil, a pinch of jeera , hing and pantry staples , seasonal kancha aloo, carrot, mooli, gobi dantal, and finely chopped gobi leaves replacing methi. Simple, seasonal, comforting.

And the same goes for peas. Us kids of the 60s never threw away the shells — we removed the waxy part and turned them into simple sabzis. Or the watermelon rind? We’d pickle it. The stalks of spinach? Sautéed with a little garlic. Carrot tops? Chopped and cooked into dals or parathas. What’s “trendy” now — using every part of your vegetables — is really just age-old wisdom passed down from mothers and grandmothers.

I love thinking about how small habits in the kitchen carry generations of care. 🌿

Do you do this in your kitchen too? What’s the smallest part of a vegetable you never throw away? I’d love to hear your stories.

There’s sun today. Beautiful winter sun.
The kind that makes you want to feed your child slowly, with care.

This is my daughter’s thali—nothing fancy, just thoughtfully put together. A soft, homegrown spinach paratha, kachche kele ke kofte made this morning, carrot pickle, a little Kathiawadi mirchi, green chutney, and fresh radish picked straight from the terrace. Small things, but together they make a plate feel complete.

A few days ago, she had picked up two raw bananas from the South Indian store. They lay forgotten in the hall. This morning, I noticed them and thought—today, you become something comforting.

The bananas were boiled, mashed, gently spiced, bound with a little besan, shaped with care and cooked. The gravy came together slowly—onions and tomatoes bhunoed patiently, the kofte added gently so they stay soft, the way children like them.

On the side, a glass of kanji—because winter lunches feel unfinished without it.
We’ve been bottling it at home lately, the same way we make it for ourselves. If you’d like some, you can reach out to .

Missing my other two kids ❤️
Some lunches feel complete only when everyone is around.

Yesterday at home, took on the art of the perfect crispy thin dosai- the swirl, the patience, the golden edges - while I made the chutney and sambar for lunch.

Also , we love your idli podi. Non-negotiable on our table.

Kishi has taught me so much about South Indian food, but I’m still learning the dosai dance. Maybe that’s a good thing—bachchon ko phir maa ko khilane ka mauka mil jaata hai. 😄

While learning about maavu from her, I also learned the sacred sequence:
Idli first → then dosai → then uttapam → and finally puddu, on consecutive days.

But guess what? We jumped straight to puddu for dinner today. Added chopped mix veggies and beetroot for that gorgeous pink hue—kitna sundar lagta hai!

Now tell me—what’s your favourite way to use leftover batter? Always learning.

PS: North or South, no winter lunch feels complete without kaanji on our table.
