Summer kurta

I always wanted my son to be well-dressed. And that means , if they are not selling awesome clothes, I am going to make them for him.This is a floral, kurta made of linen for my baby. He looked ravishing in it!

Gobi Amiya


This is a variation on the regular Gobi tamatar that we make so often. It works best with sour raw mango. But you can adjust the qantity of mango for y. our taste in sour. Cut onions square. Grind the garlic ginger in a pestel mortar. Shred the amiya. Cut Gobi in florets of the size you like. In a kadhai, put a Tbsp of oil. As it warms put a tsp of mustard seedls. After all the mustard is spluttered, add oinions and toss over a low flame. Add shredded amiya and let it cook for a while. Add  turmeric,chilly powder, salt and sugar and then add Gobi. Simmer and cook covered

Lace dress

So, I finally made this lace dress I had wanted since I was a little girl. Of course, it is not as frilly as it was in the little girl's imagination and is peppered with khunnas for the tailor who screwed a great top because he didn't understand how boat-necks were made. But this one has darts in the rightplaces to give a great fit!
