It all started with me helping my mother in kitchen ,where i was fascinated by the amazing world of spices and vegetables,sweets and savouries,all combined to churn out simple but yummy dishes at every meal.
It was this simplicity of traditional sindhi food that prompted me to come up with a collection of such delicious recipes,before they completely lose their importance in modern kitchens
I am Alka,born and brought up in a small town in Mumbai-India.After getting my bachelors degree in Microbiology,i got married to the most wonderful guy,and was soon blessed with a sweet kid.Life was moving at its own pace when suddenly my husband came up with this idea of sharing my recipes with online people
So here i am with lots of efforts of my hubby dear,and encouraging words from my families(my parents and parents-in-law)
