My Gurus

I believe Life is not only about finding yourself it’s about creating yourself.

My mum always used to grind her own spices and still does. She taught me how to roast and grind my own spices and masala mixtures. It’s all about carefully selecting the right spices. I still call my mum for her expertise advice. The aroma when spices are being roasted and grounded is so unique making the house smell heavenly spicy.

I love the crispiness of fresh vegetable together with the smell of the soil still on the freshly picked vegetable……
