Matar Nimona reminds me of winters and fresh sweet green peas. Growing up, nimona was made at least 3 to 4 times every week in my house during the winter season when the fresh green peas were in season. It’s a green peas curry where sweet peas are turned into a paste and then cooked with spices, onions etc. This dish is best enjoyed over some hot rice with ghee on top. It’s the ultimate comfort food and one you must make if you can get your hands on sweet peas! Food always makes me nostalgic, there are so many memories, festivals, celebrations associated with food.

Celebrate summer and sunshine with this easy Eggless Lemon Cake. Bursting with fresh flavors, this soft and moist cake needs no fancy ingredients and comes together rather quickly. Enjoy a slice with a side of coffee or tea! Growing up lemon cake was definitely not in my list of favorite cakes. I don’t think I associated lemon with desserts back then. It was only later in life that I got exposed to lemon based desserts like lemon sorbet, lemon cheesecake etc. that I grew fond of them. Lemon desserts are great all year around but I especially love them during spring and summer. When the weath ..read more
