My red chilly pickle

Red chillies being cured for making pickle

India is Nation of pickles! Take any household and you will be surprised to learn variety of pickles made with vegetables and fruits. 

Kitchen is the place where I find my daily dose of colour therapy. Vegetables, fruits, condiments, spices provide such sensory overload with their colours, textures, taste and aroma. Cooking becomes almost a divine experience when food is understood well and celebrated the way it should be. And the best compliment I invariably receive is when friends and family raid my kitchen and fight for all the seasonal pickle jars that I am expected to make round the year. There is no joy like sharing one's food with loved ones.
