As I am typing out this post, I am also chatting with my cousin who is currently living in Canada. I was asking her for the English name of a certain Asian ingredient and I mentioned that I was writing about a local dish and she seemed really surprised at that.
Cousin: Haahaaa so you are cooking Asian dishes now?
Me: What…
Namaste people and Diwali Mubarak ho!
No, please don't leave. You are at the right blog.
Since it is Diwali, I thought I shall show off a bit of my Hindi language that I picked up from my teachers. My teachers include Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, Aishwarya Rai and Tanmay (The only one who actually knows me)

Whenever someone drops me a message/comment on Maya’s Kitchenette, I would be all smiley-miley. There is always a sense of satisfaction when a certain recipe is loved. So do keep the comments coming people. (hint hint)

Just as the tongue…
I was looking forward to baking over the weekend as I was supposed to give my cousin a box of cupcakes for a baby shower and prepare a butter cake for my aunt. I also wanted to do some “personal baking” too. You know the one's to satisfy your cravings. I have been thinking of nothing, but blueberry scones since…
An avocado 2 times a week, keep the doctors away. "An apple a day" quote is so 1923 (Read: So yesterday)
You know there are certain times when you are just too lazy to fix a whole meal. Okay fine, I meant me. It usually happens when I have to fix lunch for myself. I don’t mind cooking for the whole…
The past few days have been super busy. It started with my BCF (best cousin forever) birthday, followed by Eid preparations and then Eid itself. Now that everything is over, let’s talk potatoes.
When I saw this,
I knew that I had to give this recipe a try. These potatoes were screaming out loud at me. Yup, these potatoes talk.

"Orange Julius is a chain of fruit drink beverage stores that has been in the business since the late 1920s.” Thank you Wikipedia for improving my general knowledge almost every single day!
As a kid, I used to see Orange Julius in a lot of malls but I never got a chance to try it back then. I guess, I never…
I love soups especially for dinner. Cream of Mushroom Soup has to be one of my favorite. Have you heard of the Jewish woman who had two chickens? One got sick, so the woman made chicken soup out of the other one to help the sick one get well. So that basically means, soups are good for everyone. ;)
