I am finally on a much needed sabbatical from work. Especially with the last two years being as crazy as they have been with my high paced work schedule and with my RA setting in last year. So I am taking a 3 month break from work to do the 3 Rs -rest, relax and rejuvenate […]
Sandwiches and Wraps
Mumbai Vada Paav with home made Paav
One of my favorite street foods in Mumbai is the ‘Vada Paav’ or the poor man’s burger which is made with potatoes and chick pea flour. Vada Paav is as basic to Mumbai as cheese burger is to America. It is the most ubiquitous street food in Mumbai and you can find it almost at every […]
Baked Falafel Pita Sandwiches (Pita wraps)

Falafel Pita bread sandwich

It is definitely very comforting food for me. Falafels are immensely popular in NewYork city and the first time I had […]
