No other food is as comforting as Ghar Ka Khana. These amazing pictures will keep you drooling.
N o other dish is as comforting as ‘Ghar ka Khana ’. We can safely say that the various dishes which are served in lavish restaurants have no match with what our mother serves us in home.
Hostelites, people living away from their families are the ones who know the real value of a home-cooked meal.
Bhavna, a Mumbaikar now based in Sydney Australia, has started a photo series on Instagram in which she clicks pictures of simple home cooked food in such a way that it’ll leave you drooling. The pictures on her account have already gone viral.
A project manager by profession, Bhavna loves food and she has her own food blog called ‘Just A Girl From Amchi Mumbai’ .
Here are some of the pictures from Bhavna’s photo series which will crave you for ‘Ghar Ka Khana’ :
1. Moong Paratha with some hot piping Chai
2. Want to have some Poha for breakfast?
Every year during the Summer holidays the cousins in Delhi got a crash course on what we ate in Mumbai. My mother would carry packets of “Pohe” (Flat beaten rice) to make for breakfast much to the bewilderment of the cousins. Who would wonder why the hell did we “Bombaywallas” eat this Rice like thing in the morning when there were better things like Parathas (stuffed flatbread) & Chole Bhature (chickpeas served with deep fried bread) to be had. It did not help that my mother was not the best Pohe maker in the world. And true to form, just like my mom my Pohe making skills left a lot to be desired as well. The first time I experimented with them in my mum’s kitchen, my brother puckered up his nose and said in the loudest voice “Chee kitne gande bane hain, main nahin khaonga” (yuck, they are so badly made, I won’t eat them). To give him credit, they were that bad. While I tried a few more times, I just could never get them to come out well. So I finally gave up. But when you live in Maharashtra, it is not easy to forget Pohe. Like a long lost love they keep coming back in your culinary life because everywhere you go you see them. Your neighbors make them; your friends make them; the local restaurants in your vicinity serve Pohe on their menu, and even your mother the worst pohe maker in the world keeps making them and gets better at it. So over a period I have learned to do a passable job with them. Decent enough that I can serve them to someone without being blamed for food poisoning. After looking at this picture I just hope no one puckers up their nose anymore. Recipe for passable Pohe on the blog.
