Its the season to eat, eat and eat some more, but don’t look down that region called the “midriff”.Just pretend it doesn’t exist or just block it off from your memory for sometime.At least that’s what I do! I must admit that I’m a foodie and to be honest its not my fault, it runs in my family.My parents are the most amazing cooks I’ve known, my mom an amazing vegetarian cook, who also cooks the most delectable fish curries and my Dad, the ultimate authority on mutton dishes that are absolutely divine, so food has been a big part of my life š
Marriage hasn’t changed me one bit, since DH is a food lover just like me!He likes to whip-up his own creations every once in a while.We love food from around the world and are always looking to try out different cuisines wherever we go. Most of the traditional North Indian food I cook,I’ve learnt it from my parents with slight variations here and there to make it easier and quicker, moreĀ suitableĀ for our fast-paced lifestyle without losing the essence of the dish itself.Ā
My Aloo Gobhi is one such dish and it comes together quite effortlessly and packed with lots of flavor.It pairs really well with some Roti or Rice.
