Pune on my mind … another trip down memory lane
“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.” Anita Desai The sweet Cookaroo stopped by the other day to meet Coco, our little cocker spaniel. She carried some Misal Pav with her. Misal Pav is a traditional Maharashtrian dish usually made with sprouted moong dal/lentils, served with a local bread, pav. Like a blast from the past, the flavours took me back to a visit to Pune a couple of years ago. We were a bunch of food bloggers en route to Baramati invited to visit the Four Seasons Winery. That trip was special as we hit it off well. A common factor tied us together… food! Wine too…

Nolen Gur Rice Kheer & traditional delicacies in Kolkata #Indiancuisine #fooddiary
A simple yet characteristic version of the Indian rice pudding, Noleun Gur Rice Kheer, has lilting, endearing flavour. Characteristic of a special Bengali delicacy, it is sweetened by a jaggery which is available for a short time during winter. In this vegetarian pudding, the patali gur is not cooked. It is simply stirred through the thickened pudding in the end to sweeten the cooked rice.

Walking through the streets of Old Delhi on a cold winter morning #props
With a head full of memories and a bagful of goodies I reached home cold, exhausted but so so happy! I love any trip into the old city. The next trip will be on an empty stomach and with friends. The charm beckons you, the aromas call your name ... kormas, rotis, rusks, sewain... it's a food paradise. A food prop paradise too if you are lucky!

Jaipur Marriott … memories of a lifetime
Jaipur MarriottIt was a weekend to remember, a road-trip to Jaipur that took us for a most beautiful and memorable time well spent. It was an experience that brought whole new meaning to the phrase "little things that matter". A visit to Jaipur, the Pink City, will always hold the promise of magic. A visit to the Pink City hosted by the Jaipur Marriott resulted in magic, yet also doubling the joy and memories.
