"Maa ke haath ka khana,kitna suhaana tha woh zamaana"
Maa ke haath ke khane ka swaad koi bhi chef nahi daal sakta. (No chef can bring the taste of food cooked by your mother)
Distances can never lessen my love for her. She is in India and I'm in Dubai but she is still my first and best friend.
I miss my Mom's love❤️care, affection, and understanding and the small moments that we shared; having fun in the kitchen while cooking with my mother are the moments that I cherish the most and love to relive again and again.

This rec is my Mom's recipe which is still relished by all. By recreating her rec with little twists I am remembering her. I know I can never ever bring that taste but its my humble try to recreate her magic in my kitchen.
