Hi, welcome to my blog. I am Chitra Gola, a technical sales engineer based out of New Delhi India. I come from a very traditionally rooted family with immense love for Indian culture and food. Here, I invite you to join me on a culinary adventure that celebrates the art of cooking, the joy of savouring flavours, and the stories that food can tell. I have always enjoyed spending time with my mother in the kitchen and learning basics of cooking.
My Gastronomic Passion
My love affair with food in year 2020, when covid hit. Same is the time when I realised that I have love for cooking. Starting off with simple meals like khichdi, I tried to nail the art of round chapati 😊. I watched my mother create magic in the kitchen with her treasured family recipes. Those cherished moments ignited a culinary spark within me that has only grown brighter with time. I have spent years exploring kitchens, markets, and culinary traditions from within India, each experience deepening my appreciation for the diverse and wonderful world of food.
I love the scrumptious meals prepared by my mother. I have always tried to imbibe in the ratio of spices, cooking time and plating skills from her. She always tells me that the food is first consumed by the eyes before actual eating. The emphasis has always been to learn the cooking with all heart and soul.
I love non vegetarian delicacies as well, fish curry with rice being my favourite. I am proud of plethora options given by Indian culinary history. It makes my heart so full of joy to see we have so many choices with added health benefits as well.
