According to me cooking is an equal-opportunity talent and I find that anybody can cook. It is not limited by the age, profession, caste, colour or creed of a person. What is needed is the love for cooking. For me the passion for cooking does not stop in the kitchen, when I travel, I continue to be inspired by eating in some of the best restaurants around the world.

Hi your recipes are very good, explained simply…. congratz. But here you said ghee 1/3 (33%) in list and 3 tb spoons + 1/2 (more than 50%) in method. Pleases clear this error. Thank you.

    Hari, I am sorry, it was my mistake and it is fixed now. Thank you very much for the feedback.

Dear Shaan, I have a doubt how it prepared in large scale? for eg: 10kg rice how we become calculate the quantity of water? it is so difficult to cook. please give a solution to add water on large scale.

    Suresh, The ratio is, for 1 cup of rice we should add 1¾ cup of water (1 : 1¾). I am not sure about the ratio in kilograms. If you have large quantity, measure it using some big mugs.

Hi Shaan, all your recipes are tasty and very easy to prepare. Please add fried rice and paneer butter masala recipe too.

    Thanks a lot Nayana. I will try to include it.
