Bliss is this porous beauty!!!

Standing before the hot odu/clay tawa watching the porous forming is such a bliss and sitting before the hot tawa on the kitchen slab to gobble it is another level😍 Soft Odu Dose loaded with Avocado dip?Soaked in Bellada Rave? Smeared with Spicy Chutney Pudi? 🤤 The one who always listens to all my customisation while making this for me  @sudarshanams  - Hard to find one(train?😬) Kick starting the Monday Morning (by kicking if the customisation is not satisfactory😝) Thank you so much  @bhatnbhat98  for such a promising recipe!!! It came out exactly the way you had explained 😇

The best Combo ever 😇😬

  Every-time   I walk with my cotton bag on my shoulder and come across Chai Shops, I can't take off my eyes from those big glass jars filled with tindis😍😍 I just think of having such glass jars filled with Chakli,Kodubale, Nippat and all Crunchy stuffs. The very thought makes me feel so excited and I check if there is enough money, get into the shop buy all the things to make them. 🤤 I go home and prepare One Tindi that's Chakli  ,recollecting all the tips that my Subbi Ajji had told long back. Every step bringing the images of the end result - the glass jars filled with so many varieties of tindi/snacks. By then I feel so tired and in between whatever was prepared batch wise would be filled in my tummy there will be only the tissue papers left to fill the glass jars🤐 Cleaning the place I prepare some Kaapi, resist myself from further munching and put the remaining 5-6 Chaklis that's in my hand in a small dabba so I can enjoy them the next day after coming back home 😌

Waking up on a lazy morning for the aroma of Coffee!

Bliss is finding your beloved one already in the kitchen, who has set the stage ready as you enter the kitchen in the morning. The finely Chopped vegetables, the aroma of fresh decoction, the mixer plugged and the jar sitting beside, freshly grated coconut!!!Preparing the favourite breakfast becomes delightful. When one likes neer dosa with spiced up chutney and another, spiced up neer dosa with bellada rave/jaggery syrup - The Gloomy light through the Kitchen windows, sound of the downpour, cool breeze and the warm tawa making the day promising 😇😍 My Cooking Partner for life  @sudarshanams

The Devotion 😬

We all had been to Shirdi Saibaba Mandir. My parents, grandparents, sister, uncle, aunt, cousins so many pronouns! So was the queue. I only remember my first step towards the main sanctum rest was automated. By the time I looked around and tried to figure out what is going on ,I had reached almost at the main sanctum. I could not find any of my people with whom I had started. There was an old couple who were talking to Pandit Ji and they picked some savouries lying at the Baba's feet. It was my turn to meet Baba after them.I waited, felt their conversation was too long, felt why waste the time and started filling the sweets and savouries from the heap.Pandit ji said namaskar and they just left. In the nick of time I was pushed to the exit already, I peeped from there to bid bye to baba(He bid me bye?!) I came out and within a couple of minutes found my people. My sister and cousins were looking at the  fat bag in my hand, google eyed.They pulled my hand and took me aside and asked

The Rocket Science of Puttu🥲

Most awaited Saturday had already gone and promised the new day to the dust happily enjoying every nook and corner of their home. We gird up the loins to start our Swatch Swagruha Campaign. The deep cleaning was done finally we enjoyed the fuming coffee looking at the min-mina(clean & tidy) home. We slept burying inside the sun kissed blankets that night. The breakfast pre-decided as Puttu+ Kadala Curry as it required no previous day preparations except for soaking some pulses. I loved making them. Filled the Puttu Stand with the mixture of grated coconut and rice rava, the aroma of boiling kadala curry making the gloomy kitchen more alluring. Meanwhile, I got ready, so I can have breakfast enjoying every single bite and then go to work. I came back to kitchen, Kept the new jar of ghee out to melt it later, Puttu toped with ghee- The imagination itself was so good and in reality, I couldn't wait any more! There was a big sound ! It had launched just like a rocket. The jar of gh

You belong there!

  There is always a place, person or a thing that makes you feel you belong there the most ! Being there even for a few minutes just adds so much to our lives. Those are the tiny things that brings a smile while traveling alone, sitting beside the window, sipping fuming chai or when feeling gloomy. This cafe had that same feeling when we visited late in the night, the rich aroma of coffee embraced us. The cold breeze demanding some hot frothy Coffee. Sitting there gazing at the jewelled sky we had a conversation, this will be treasured so as take it out when it's needed the most❤️😇 My Coffee Partner forever  @sudarshanams

Expression that remains forEver 🤗

Few expressions speaks so much more than words!Many a times  those expressions remain in our heart and it just appears as we close our eyes and bring back the warm feeling instantly lighting up the mood❤️ That evening in the ceremony she gave me the string of Jasmine, the string was so long, adorning this enchanting beauty itself made me feel so excited. Since it was so long I asked her "This much?! All for me!"Her expression said that "So deep is the love of your beloved one towards you!" May be just a belief, but that expression simply brought the face of my beloved one before me😍 Every time I see the string of this pure soul definitely her expression make its appearance 😇
