Welcome

Mummy has a favorite quote from her favorite cookbook - ruchira :

समाधानाची सुरुवात स्वयंपाकघरात होते !
Certainly true of the cowlagi family - where our childhood memories are intertwined with the memories of food ...

"Dahi-bhaat-vachhe sambar"; ambatbhaji with freshly fried mirchi; panipuri get togethers with 400 panipuris in one go ... even the humble gul-polis in the school lunch box ..

All memories we try to carry with us and in some cases - try to replicate in our own kitchens.This started as a place where mummy could keep her recepies but we thought - wouldn't it be nice if everyone could share their favorite recepies !
So here is the Cowlagi kitchen -- लाजू नका -- सावकाश जेवा ! :-)
