Recipes

One of my true passions is cooking for my family & friends. Here you will find the my most loved recipes.

Dear Ma

A Family Archive

My 'DearMa' recipes are dedicated to my mother, the special family recipes I have learned from my mother, cooked for my family & friends and hope to pass down to my children.

Growing up in Rajasthan, my Amma taught me authentic Rajasthani cooking as well as other dishes from India's diverse palate. I have continued my passion for cooking, sharing the dishes I grew up loving. It now gives me immense joy to be able to share some of these recipes with you.
