Who or what inspires you to cook?

I love to see the satisfaction on faces of my family when they take first bite. I love when my kids come home and while eating talk about their day. They always say, “ our home smells so good;I feel the warmth.”

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

There’s no one dish. I love cooking dal dhokli for my husband, pastas, Mexican food, paneer dishes for my kids, rotlo and shaak for my Mom. I just realized that’s how I show my love. So these are the dishes when I cook, I get happy anticipating their satisfaction and happiness seeing their favorite food.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Oh, my daughter will be starting college this fall. My son is in college. My husband is working hard to establish his consultant business. I’m looking for a job. So, 25000 will help lot in our household needs.
