Meme:10 Things I Miss Of Mom's Cooking

RP has tagged me with this meme and I love to take part in writing a list of the 10 items I miss of my mom's cooking, . But it’s tough to decide what I miss most because I miss almost everything she used to make and now I miss home more while writing them down!

1. Avial: Even though I try my best and my hubby likes the way I make (He is a Big Avial fan) but I can’t make the avial like her.

2. Mutton curry: My mom was a working woman (she still is) and Sundays were special for us as that day mom will get more time to cook and it will be something special than usual so was same for the non-veg it was reserved for Sundays or some special events only. She used to make that specially for me as my sis was a veggie and still when I go home Mom demand to dad the first thing to bring from market is mutton.

3. Achappam the snack: that was one of the best snack she used to make for festivals. I remeber how her all north indian friends learn that from her and she brought them mould from back home.

4. Fish curry and fish fry: She used to make special fish curry with lots of onion and garlic paste with ‘kodam puli’ . It just tastes great. In MP we used to get River fish only and cutting and cleaning of that huge fish was my dad’s duty while me and sis used to peel the onions and garlic and we just hand over the rest thing to mom. It was all fun to work together like that in kitchen.

5. Cake: Mom brought an Oven and learned to make cake just for us and she used to make just simple cake but that was the delicious and softest homemade cake I ever eat.

6. Unniyappam: Unniappam was our favorite one and she used to make it as a snack to take during long journeys like our 3 days train travel to Kerala. The thought of sipping the special “Train coffee” and eating Uniyappam with that was just great (Now I miss my vacations)

7. Gajar ka halwa : Here in Kuwait we can get carrot any time in all year but back
Home we needed to wait until winter to get that and we waited for winter just because of mom’s gajar ka halwa. Eating that with ‘garam garam roti’, Awww I l miss that.

8. Pickles: She used to make 2 kinds of mango pickles ,one that we can preserve for whole year (MP style) and one is just for week (kadumanga Kerala style), both of them tasted great. And I miss her carrot and Lime pickle too. I remember how I was craving for her pickle when I was expecting Bittu and she somehow managed to send it to me :)

9. Ada pradhaman and semiya payasam: I miss the whole ‘ona sadya” she used to prepare but miss these two things most.

10. Gulab Jamun: Now this is something priceless she used to make. And then isn’t everything priceless that moms used to make?
