Sathya,

Congrats on your baby. Is it a boy or a girl? I am also a Mom for a 8 & 1/2 month old boy and yes life is hectic yet rewarding. Hmm.. recipes for such a little eh? I am yet to come up with those. As of now, I only give him cooked dal’s mixed with rice cereal as he is not yet ready for real rice. So, as time goes by and as & when I starting exploring baby foods, I promise to post them. And your little one is younger than mine, so I can test it first before posting.

Take care.

Hi Priya,

Its nice to see the speedy reply. Life is great here in Taiwan and being Mom of a 6 n half month old baby, is much more rewarding. Its been 1 n half year being in Taiwan. And v have few indian families staying around here.

Can you please post receipes for babies too. It would b much helpful for New mom like me. I tried doing Stuffed Lauki today and it came out very well!!!!!

Hi Sathya,

I am so glad you stumbled upon my blog and more so the recipe came out well and your husband liked it. I can’t be happier.

Thanks for trying it out. Let me know if you would like to see anything specific. Wow, Taiwan eh? Must be fun. How is life there? Are there Indians? How long have you been there?

Hi!
I tried your veg omelet and I loved it!!! I was blown away that this recipe was sooo simple and quick, yet it was delish! I did make a few adjustments I added jeera and dhania powders and a lil more mirchi pwd (what can I say I’ve developed a taste for heat). I also mixed mint-cilantro chutney with yogurt for a nice dipping sauce. My mom, who hasn’t developed a taste for Indian food (yet) loved it and requested I make it again…soon. This dish is so easy how could I not?!!!

I love your website, thanks so much

Dear L,

I am glad that my recipes could make you feel a bit comfortable and less nostalgic. Yes I guess we all go through this being so far from our parents and homeland. I hope things get better for you.
Take care dear.

Hi Pat,

Thanks for your comment. You need to grind dried raw chickpea to get the flour or as we call it besan. It could be a little hard to grind at home though. If you don’t mind buying the flour online, there are some options.

Hope this helps

I would love to try your besan ki childa. I would grind the chickpea powder from the beans myself, but need to know if the chickpea flour is ground from raw or cooked chickpeas?
I live about 2 hours north of Toronto in Canada, and getting the flour is difficult.
thanks, Pat

Hi , Today while searching the net for Gobi Roll recipe (the one that is available at Hot Breads in Sunnyvale), I came across your site. The name was quite attractive and so ended up clicking the Gobi Paratha recipe and was happy to see your other recipes. I liked your Besan ki Childa. I plan to try that out tomorrow night for dinner but with a slight variation. I have Adai maavu with me and so plan to mix the vegetables into it and try it. Will keep you posted.

For a very long time now, I have been thinking of making a chart wherein I do not repeat what I cook atleast for 2 weeks in a row but that never seems to be happening. So, now I am planning to visit your website frequently and try out all that you are putting up. The pictures are very inviting. U said you live in Bay Area. Where do you live? I live in Sunnyvale and I do know few Priyas. So, wondering if you are one among them. If possible, please email me or respond to this comment for me to see if I know you otherwise.

Thanks and please do keep posting more recipes

Regards,
Gita
