Born in a half Tamilian-half Goan family, my earliest food memory is of my grandpa making us our daily morning black coffee just before we left for school, accompanied with a traditional Tamilian breakfast of Puttu or Idiyappam. Lunch would often be typically Goan food. Being away from home gave me a reason to start cooking and blogging again. I try to recreate most common recipes with ingredients available outside India with the belief that food doesn’t have to be perfect for it to be right.
