“I have soo many stories to tell you …my mom tells me that when i was a kid and was in grade 4 i used to stand in a stole and do cooking with my mother..she used to get me out off the kitchen because I would make a lot of mess!  I love cooking and my mom seriously cooks the best food. Her handmade kofty,pulao,naan katai,piza,apricot dessert,aloo gosht salan,gulab jaman and many more are the best. i cant tell u that she cooks everything best and it is difficult for me to write a specific dish but i want to share my mothers twist on Chicken 65 recipe which is so unique!”
