Her Journey as a Food Blogger

The lockdown has proved to be a very difficult time for us all but for her, it was the beginning of her journey as a food blogger. She started blogging around 2019 but the pandemic gave her a chance to dedicate more time to her passion for good food. 

Her Inspiration

On who inspired her to follow her dreams, she shares, “I want to give the credit to my mother for always inspiring me with her incredible cooking skills and my husband for always supporting and encouraging me to follow my passion.”

Her Favourite Dishes

“I absolutely love gorging on the Momos from Assam and the Shwarma roll from Mumbai. The Hyderabadi Biryani is something I still dream of eating when I am craving a rice dish and an absolute must-have traditional Assamese dish for me are the Rice Pithas. I have tried a lot of amazing dishes in and around Guwahati and the top 3 picks from my blog are Khaaja(a sweet dish), Banana Blossom Curry and Bamboo Shoot Curry. These dishes are unique in its preparation and flavours and I am sure you would love it if you like trying out new delicacies.”

Future Plans

When asked about her future plans, all she has to say is, “I think the best way of planning for the future is to make the most of the present.” Wise words, spoken by a very very wise gastronome indeed!
