Well, if you have thoroughly followed this blog, you won’t find it difficult to understand that being it for savoury dishes or for sweet dishes, I have a special place in my heart for both coconut and paratha. And every time, whenever I taste or cook either of them, I am in awe, how in …
Plan or Surprise! Sometimes I wonder, which one between these two actually puts a direction to our life. They say planning is the key to lead a successful life. From the day one, our elders set the path for us that we are supposed to follow. And as we grow, we start taking reins in …
