Home Made Granola

Making granola at home is so easy and better than buying from a store because you can add and subtract the goodness depending on the ingredients you have or like. And the result? A versatile and nutritious snack that can be used as garnishes on desserts, in cookies, waffles and pancakes, eaten with milk, to make chocolates or granola bars.

The very first time I put on a Chef's Coat and when I first laid my hands on an old trumpet, it brought me immense joy. I realised that was my calling - through food and music, I wanted to bring joy to other people's lives too. Observing my granny in her old-stone counter kitchen, cooking Sorpotel and Vindaloo in Goa and singing old Goan folk songs or rummaging through her recipe books that date back to the late 1800s or the satisfaction I would derive from seeing her earthen pots boil and soak in flavour - a voice deep within me always said, “boy, you are going to be a chef one day." Professionally far removed from the family of doctors, I was inclined towards culinary arts. After working at Sofitel and Marriott, I started Jazzy Jim’s Cookhouse, a cloud kitchen. Putting smiles on people’s faces through my food techniques and improvisations on traditional East Indian and Goan dishes with European cooking techniques.
