MY KITCHEN CUPBOARD....

A LITTLE PEEK INTO MY KITCHEN CABINET WHERE I STOCK MY STEEL DABBAS


I LOVE TO COLLECT DABBAS OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES (and not all are used )

but whenever i see a dabba of a unusual shape i buy it and love to see all of them stalked in a neat pile.
If you notice you will see that except the 2 big ones on the lower shelf there is not a single dabba that is similar to the other, as i buy only one at a time (the larger ones where gifted by my mom to me)
These are not all that i have there are many more which are not shown in the picture.

Thanks for sharing a little bit of my life by reading this post....

DIWALI GOAN ISTYLE....

We stay in Mumbai but celebrate Diwali in a very traditional way as it is celebrated in Goa,
The first day of Diwali is very important for a goan , The lady of the house gets up early and after a bath prepares 5 different poha dishes each tasting different from the other.
An usal and ambada sasav is also prepared to accompany the poha.



BATATA POHA

DUDHATALE (MILK POHA)

BUTTERMILK OR CURD POHA

WHITE VATANA USAL

AMBADYACHE SASAV


POHA ARRANGED ON OUR DINING TABLE

ROSATLE POHA OR COCONUT MILK POHA

KALAYLLE POHA (POHA MIXED BY HAND NOT COOKED WITH JAGGERY ,GRATED COCONUT AND GREEN CHILLIES)

poha are prepared by my mother in law , she loves to prepare all these herself and that too as early as possible , it gives her great pleasure to serve them well before all the other members of the family and up and ready for the diwali celebration and the ' OVALANI'
