This is a delicious and nutritious dosa from Andhra Pradesh made with green gram lentils, called Pesarattu dosa. It\'s quite different from other dosas made in South India, as it doesn\'t require fermentation. It\'s served with chutney. I\'ve presented this dosa in a tricolor style, with a white chutney made from fresh coconut and chana dal, and an orange chutney made from tomatoes.

When I think about the woman who inspires me, one face always comes to my mind — my mother.
Growing up, I never realized how many silent sacrifices she made just to see us happy. Early mornings, endless work, and still a smile on her face that made everything feel better.
Her kitchen was never just a place to cook food; it was a place where love, care, and warmth were served every day. Through her actions, she taught me patience, strength, and kindness without ever asking for credit.
Today I understand that true inspiration doesn’t always stand on a stage — sometimes it stands quietly in the kitchen, shaping lives with love.
My greatest inspiration, my strongest support, my forever hero — my Mom.

My mother—her grit, warmth, and quiet strength inspire me every day.My mother is the woman who inspires me most. She never made grand speeches—she showed up: working long hours, still remembering small things that mattered to us, and meeting setbacks with calm humor instead of complaint. I learned resilience from watching her keep going, kindness from how she treated neighbors, and courage from the way she’d try again without fanfare. Her steady example—more action than advice—quietly set my compass, and I carry it with me in everyday choices.

I am my own inspiration because everything I create, learn, and overcome begins with me. My kitchen is my laboratory, my comfort zone, and sometimes even my battlefield — and through it, I’ve discovered strengths I didn’t know I had. In My Kitchen, I am: The creator — turning simple ingredients into something meaningful. The problem-solver — adapting, experimenting, fixing what didn’t work. The nurturer — feeding not just myself but my confidence and creativity. The learner — every dish teaches me patience, courage, and precision. Here, I don’t wait for validation. The aroma of my effort is my applause. My growth is visible in every new recipe I master and every mistake I turn into mastery. 🌱 Beyond My Kitchen Outside the kitchen, the same qualities shape who I am: Resilience — because failures only make me better. Self-belief — because I’ve seen myself rise from my own doubts. Independence — because I trust my instincts and build my own path. Creativity — because life, like cooking, is a blend of choices, flavors, and courage. I inspire myself because I know the journey I’ve walked — the struggles I don’t speak about, the quiet victories no one else sees, the persistence that keeps me moving. ✨ The Real Reason I am my own inspiration because I’ve watched myself grow — into someone who tries, fails, learns, improves, and still shows up with heart and hope. Today i am a proud leader in my professional journey empowering teams committted to excellence. Being a daughter keeps me grounded and connected to my roots. As a sister i have strengthened my ability to mentor and support. As a wife i value mutual respect and balance my worklife and family time. I am proud that i wear meaningful roles where as a mother ai strive to create a nurturing and encouraging space for my son to make him a good human being

\"My Masi was my inspiration, she loved me a lot. It\'s been 4 years since she passed away, but she\'s still in my heart. She brought me up since childhood, she loved me so much. She never married, she considered me her own child. Whenever I was in trouble, she stood by me. Me had many medical problems, but she stood by me and took care of me a lot. I want to be like her, selflessly loving and caring for others 65;️

The woman who inspires me the most is my mother. Since our childhood, she has always done everything for our family with love and dedication. Along with my father, she faced every ups and downs of life with strength and courage. While managing all the household responsibilities, she also worked from home and contributed to the family income with hard work and determination. She not only took care of all our needs but always made sure we were happy, well-fed, and surrounded by love. She never spoke badly about anyone and taught us kindness, patience, and strong values. She even helped me raise my son and gave both of us beautiful values and endless care. Whatever I am today is because of her teachings and sacrifices. Today, she is not well and facing health challenges, yet she still tries to help everyone with a smile. Her strength, selflessness, and pure heart inspire me every single day. Words are never enough to describe everything she has done for us. She is my biggest inspiration — in and beyond the kitchen.

#HOLI26 Healthy and delicious, Khandvi is a light Gujarati snack made with gram flour (besan) and yogurt. To prepare it, take 1 cup besan, 1 cup curd, and 2 cups water in a bowl. Add ½ teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon ginger-green chilli paste, and salt to taste. Mix everything well until the batter becomes completely smooth and lump-free. Pour this mixture into a pan and cook it on medium flame while stirring continuously so that no lumps form. After a few minutes the mixture will start thickening; keep stirring until it becomes smooth and spreadable. Quickly spread a thin layer of this cooked batter on the back of a plate, tray, or clean kitchen counter. Allow it to cool for 2–3 minutes, then cut it into long strips and gently roll each strip to form beautiful khandvi rolls. For tempering, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small pan, add 1 teaspoon mustard seeds, 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, and a few curry leaves, and pour this tempering over the rolls. Finally garnish with grated coconut and chopped coriander leaves. Soft, melt-in-the-mouth Gujarati khandvi is ready to serve. 🌿

My mother was my greatest inspiration.
She didn’t just teach me how to work, but how to put love and warmth into everything I do.Whatever I am today is because of her teachings and values.Mom, you will always live in my heart…Every lesson you gave me still lights my path. ❤️
I learnt cooking from my mother. Whenever she cooked food, she would say sit beside me and learn. She never burdened me with work, she would just say learn everything so that in future she does not say to you that your mother did not teach you anything. If my mother were alive today, she would have been very happy to see that her daughter can make so many things, from Khastar to sweets, because my mother loved sweets very much.
I miss you so much mummy 🥲🥲

Someone who inspires lives in the heart forever and that’s what I can say for my mother ,my first guru for everything in life including cooking
She may not be in the body now but she’s with me every moment ,speaking and guiding from within
Cooking is one of the life skills which I picked up from her naturally and she taught how it should be done with love ,not as a chore and to remember MA Annapurna before starting work in the kitchen and the importance of chanting mantras while cooking as that makes the food divine and healthy for the family
The tips and little tricks to make food look and taste good together with giving variation were also instilled in me by her .till date when I am adding salt and spices while cooking ,I feel her saying …bas beta …and my hand stops there ,leading to perfect saltiness and spiciness as needed in that dish
Her guidance to me was what helped me to look after her and ( give her food which was similar to that which she had taught me to cook ) when she was in a wheelchair during the last stage of her life
God could not be felt always so he made Mothers

My sister has been one of the most constant and beautiful blessings in my life. From childhood until today, she has walked beside me through every phase, every challenge, and every joyful moment. Growing up together, we shared not only memories but also lessons, strength, and endless support for one another. She has always been someone I could lean on, someone who understood me without the need for many words. Her presence, encouragement, and love have shaped the person I am today in so many ways. In moments when life felt overwhelming, she stood beside me with quiet strength, reminding me that I was never alone. She has been more than just a sister to me—she has been a friend, a guide, and a source of comfort throughout my journey. I am deeply grateful for the bond we share and for the role she has played in shaping my life. On this Women’s Day, I celebrate not only the incredible woman she is, but also the love, strength, and inspiration she has brought into my life since the very beginning.

My inspiration is my mother—someone who is less of a parent and more of a friend to me. She raised us single-handedly right from our childhood. My father passed away when I was just ten years old, yet she never once let us feel his absence. She stood by me at every step of the way; whenever a challenge arose, she would gently and lovingly guide me, teaching me how to move forward in life and never to lose my composure in the face of adversity. She taught me the little nuances of daily life, as well as how to accomplish great things. There was no task my mother wouldn\'t undertake—whether it was sewing, knitting, applying *mehndi*, or engaging in social work, she was always at the forefront. She instilled in me that same spirit, teaching me to excel in every field I pursue. She taught me the subtle tricks of cooking—skills that prove incredibly useful in my life today. It is entirely thanks to her that I am now an expert in the culinary arts and have achieved a significant standing in this field. Even today, my mother and I share a bond akin to that of two close friends. To me, my mother represents my strength, my courage, and my entire world; with her by my side, anything and everything is possible. I pray to God that everyone may be blessed with a mother like mine—and that, in every lifetime to come, I too may have the privilege of having her as my mother.

Kalakand Recipe
Ingredients
1 litre full-fat milk
1–2 tsp vinegar or lemon juice
2 tsp ghee
Freshly made paneer (from the milk)
½ cup Mithai Mate (adjust sweetness as you like)
Cardamom powder (optional)
Chopped dry fruits (optional)
Method
1. Make Fresh Paneer Boil
1 litre milk in a heavy pan. Once it boils, lower the flame and add vinegar slowly. Milk will curdle — turn off the gas. Strain it using a muslin cloth. Wash the paneer under cold water to remove the sour taste. Lightly squeeze out extra water (don’t make it too dry — little moisture keeps kalakand soft).
2. Cook the Kalakand
Heat 2 tsp ghee in a pan.
Add the freshly made crumbled paneer
Add Mithai Mate and mix well.
Cook on low flame, stirring continuously. When the mixture thickens and becomes grainy, add a pinch of cardamom powder (optional).
Cook until it leaves the sides of the pan but is still soft and moist.
3. Set the Kalakand Grease a plate or tray with a little ghee. Spread the cooked kalakand mixture evenly. Garnish with chopped pistachios/almonds. Let it cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.
