• Sweet and Spicy ~A Life with You

    It seems like only yesterday That our wedding date was set; Although it’s been so many years, The memories linger yet. I guess that we’ve experienced life, In almost every form. We’ve enjoyed the greatest pleasures And weathered every storm, We’ve walked together side by side, As we traveled on through life; And I have always felt so proud, That you chose me for your wife. Happy Anniversary Dear ! (I had somewhere read this poem,though i am unable to locate the origin right now,but it lingered in my memory since then !) Marriage….Its a  strange but divine, difficult but…

  • Samosa~The most famous Indian Snack

    Indians need no introduction for this awesome  snack,which is the most sought after, deep fried , crisp Maida cone,  stuffed with scrumptious potato filling. If the name doesn’t activate the hunger spot in your brain, then you supposedly  are not fit to be called a Foodie ! There are many versions of this lovely snack,varying from stuffing of veggies to Mawa , potato to keema , but obviously a potato filling is hands down winner (at least for me)  ! So lets straight away head to the ingredients required and the method to make Samosas. Print Samosa~The most famous Indian…

  • Bread Pizza for the Birthday Boy

    Pizza at SindhiRasoi ?? I expect this reaction from everyone , very obviously , Since Pizza is not even remotely related to Sindhi Cuisine.

  • Falooda Icecream

    Falooda Icecream: Pic. Updated The gloomy situation at south Mumbai is the most scariest of News that we had heard till this date. The terror pangs are surely felt by each and every common man, who can’t think beyond Roti, kapda aur makaan (food, clothing and shelter). Yet it is always that same common man who is targeted again and again for no fault of his/her. How long will we be vulnerable to such attacks? The debate could go on and on, but I want to, sort of run away from all this, cause I don’t want to feel drained…

  • A Fool Proof Sindhi Pickle

I try to reply each and every query as and when time permits. Majority of the people had requested for Sindhi AUR MEIN KHATAIRN or Pickle in mustard seeds(aur) and water .

    Post Diwali, after loads of huffing puffing, it was time to relax and enjoy my Son’s Winter vacation.With no morning chaos, no hurries & no worries of packing tiffins and budging kiddie, Life was bliss ! But as we all know, happiness is short lived, so no sooner I started enjoying lazy afternoons, my son announced his boredom and with the demands  of  some more computer games (some ?? ), few more outings and some more window shopping in malls. Apart from visits to park and making home his cricket ground, he complained of unavailability of amusements . So when…

  • Gyarsi Dhodho-Bhaji~Ekadashi Fasting Food

    Sindhis are observing Vadhi Gyars or Ekadashi fast today. A heavy Dhodho (Flatbread) with potato curry could not be a fasting food for me, but it tastes delicious for sure! Ekadashi means the eleventh lunar day (Tithi) of the shukla (bright) or krishna (dark) paksha (fortnight) of every lunar month in the Hindu calendar (Panchang) (Wikipedia) Sindhis observe Vadhi Gyaras or Badi Ekadashi (Prabhodhini) with exuberance, avoiding grains for the whole day. Evenings are generally spend on arrangements for Tulsi ji shaadi (Tulsi Vivah), followed by the rituals of Tulsi marriage and singing prayers and songs and sharing food. At…
