Ok Im back to this blog after 2 whole years thanx to my friend Gayathri who has constantly been pushing me to (in a good way ofcourse) to start posting recipes specially easy simple ones since she stays mostly in hostel or home alone.
Cooking and baking has been a big part of our family. Its runs down in the family tradition. Being brought up in such a family, passion for cooking, experimenting and eating has been very high in me. This passion started off from a very young age of 10 and increased even more because of my love for desserts and as of how to prepare them. Television shows and videos in youtube kindled the baker in me and I started experimenting with different kinds of food and flavors. My biggest break was during my undergraduate in my college bazaar where students could put up various stalls ranging from clothes, shoes, accessories and food for 2 days. I had put up a muffin store and among the 88 odd stores put up, mine was selected for the top 10 stores and was asked to put up a store in a leading IT company on the occasion of women's day. This was like a breaking point and after all this, I started getting orders and started baking from home. With all the support from family, friends and well wishers, I'm here in London, Le Cordon Bleu pursuing what I have dreamt of all my life ; Baking and Pastry making course. It's been more than a month in London and it still feels surreal for me.
So now getting back, this blog is dedicated to Gayathri and also my mother because she was the one I inherited this recipe from :) This simple yummy recipe is something very close to my heart and a very healthy, filling one. It's something close to my heart because for the very first time in my life, I participated in a cooking competition (8th grade) and won the 1st place! :)
Wish I had snaps but promise to post good snaps from the next blogs :)
