My mom is a wonderful cook.Even if she makes a simple chammanthi it tastes out of the world. And she loves to try out new recipes. You can always see her sitting in from of the TV watching Khana kazana.Always with a pen and book in her hand! And she tries out everything! And it came out so well. Even now when I call her she will say" inn putiya dish undaki"(Made a new dish today).
But if I ask for her the recipie.the problem begins. She will say add a little of this and a little of that. Never will she give me a proper measurement! She says she doesn’t know she just adds and tastes it if something is missing she will add a little more!
After seeing Sangeetha's banana halwa, it took me back to the old days and I just had to make it my mom's style and thank God she gave me the complete recipe for this.
