Hello All

So after a hiatus of 5 months, I am back! The past 5 months have been very interesting. The challenges and joys of motherhood and pressures of being a working mom has left but very little time for anything else. But a smile on the little one's face washes off any fatigue you feel. And this is not the first time I have felt proud of being an Indian - for there are not many cultures in this world where family comes to aid to ease your life.

You will be surprised if I told you - I have cooked for not more than 4 times since December. That does not mean I have not had a decent home cooked meal. On the contrary, mother and mother-in-law have showered us with wonderful delicacies, long forgotten being in the foreign lands for so long. Some of the dishes that we enjoyed included -

Bhoplyacha bharit
Khatkhata
Vanga, Batata, bhoplyachi kaapa
Kaaralyachi chatni (Onion seeds chatni)
Moolyachi amti
Amboli
Bhaajnicha thalipeeth

For the non-maharashtrian followers of my blog, I will add english names to these dishes very soon. And I will try to post recipes of these wonderful dishes as I can. As for this post, I just wanted to drop a quick hello to all. Hope this new year has been wonderful for everyone so far. Keep blogging!
