Fazee’s Home Cooking

After spending a whole week thinking what I should submit as my entry to Jihva for Love (JFI event) hosted by Jigyasa and Pratibha, I have finally decided. It is Milagu Curry!!!

Every time I decide to do it or even think about the dish, I remember my dear amma feeding me with all her love. As a child I was giving my amma a hard time time eating any food. My amma would take a handful of rice and take me in her hand and would roam around 3 or 4 streets just trying to get that in my mouth. . But thanks to her wonderful cooking and the love she has in surplus, I turned out to be a food lover.

This dish is very special to me because, I have tasted it in my Petha’s (grandma) kitchen, my amma’s kitchen, and now in my mine. When I feed this to my daughter, I just think if she would carry on this recipe into her kitchen.

I dedicate this entry to my mom’s unconditional love which i can never measure against anything.she is so dear to me and “amma i miss u so much!!” She never had any time for herself and devoted everything for me, my brother, my dad, her work, our home and the list goes on…if i can do anything for her right now, that would be, giving her some rest and enter our kitchen and cook a warm hearty meal for her…But I guess that would never happen, cause every time i visit my home, I am treated like a princess and kitchen is off limits for me.. she would never let me step into her kitchen and always loves to pamper me..!!

Dear Amma, This one is for you. This is my gift for you on your birthday this month (May 17th)..Happy Birthday Mummy!!!
