Hello My dear Friends,
Started from scratch and here I am with loads of ideas all around.Since my childhood days I always had a love towards cooking and my Home science classes paved the way for it.My Home Science lab was my foremost kitchen before Swapna’s Kitchen where I started cooking recipes from basic to expert levels.
There are no right or wrong recipes in cooking.Anything cooked at home by you with love is definitely a perfect recipe.So try your hands at home with new recipes after all it is your kitchen who else can question you.Slowly you will be appreciated by your family and friends.
A successful dish needs quality ingredients ,cooked to right consistency and finally served at right temperature.The last important thing is to share it with your loved ones. Let’s start a happy and love filled cooking:)
Lot of learning and sharing ahead, Will keep you posted forever !!
Now and always,
Swapna 😊

I am loving reading your recipes, but some things are unclear to a western cook, like “grind” – your ground veggies look like fairly large pieces – do you use a food processor? “Curd”? Curd of what?

Thanks a lot..we use lot of spices in Indian cooking and I always use freshly ground spices like pepper,cardamom,cumin,cinnamon for I dont use ready made powders…I use a blender to grind them…I then add them to the veggies while cooking….
