Burger Queen

My husband was reading through my posts and noticed that almost all posts were related to food. I am not too much of a foodie , but I love to cook and present yummy delights to that one person who complains that all I write about is food ! And inspite of all that , he's the one who suggested the title !

Here was what we had as a snack that turned out to be our dinner instead.

Here's our dining table filled with ingredients to make a yummy burger.
The Burger buns , Potato cutlet , sliced tomatoes and green pepper , lettuce leaves.
Main part of the burger is the aaloo tikki. Boiled potatoes , chillies , salt and some butter. Mashed all these together and added some Maida for it to blend in well and deep fried in oil with a coat of maida. The trial piece was yummy , so the same method was followed for the rest of the tikkis :)
Oh , I just love to show off these colours !
My husband helps me with the photographs so that I don't end up smearing the camera with flour and oil.

Assembling a Burger


Step 1 : To toasted Burger buns , I added some leftover white sauce.

Step 2 : Next came the Tikki.



Step 3 : Added in some fresh lettuce leaves.

Step 4 : Oh.. how can a burger be complete without a tomato slice ?

Step 5 : Capsicum slices

Step 6 : Had difficulty placing the small slices of cucumber , but managed it somehow.
I later realised it was better to place the cucumber at step 2 instead :)

Step 7 : Close the burger with the sesame seed covered bun

Step 8 : Look at the burger with pride and wonder whether it will fit your mouth

Step 9 : Enjoy the Burger !

Note : Steps 1-8 may be replaced by any other ingredient. And if all goes well , you will surely follow the Step 9.

Guten Appetit !

The loss of a friend !

My Father-in-law was not the typical FIL who was distant and would not interact with his daughter-in-law. Well, initially he was like that and then he warmed up to my presence and opened up to me. Over the last few years, as we spent a lot of time together, as we were all living in the same home, he became my close friend, mentor, guide and my biggest cheerleader. He was born in Shimoga, grew up in Amrutur with his aunt, started his family in Sagara and eventually retired into Bangalore. 80+ years, he has had the most enviable life. Don't mistake it for a rosy life or a life with no issues or problems! He was one among 11 - 6 boys and 5 girls. He was the 2nd child and as his mother had more children, she needed help raising the kids and so she reached out to her sister in law to take care of him in Amruthur - a farmland. He grew up under the care of his aunt and love from his cousins, who were all girls. He would eat fresh food from the abundance of the farm and also drink milk so...

It's been 5 years !

I still remember not being able to fall asleep on November 7th 2020. I usually crash and sleep almost the instant I decide to call it a day. But that day, I closed my eyes and was tossing and turning and I just could not sleep. It was almost 1 am the next day when I just about started to doze off when I got a call. A call that late into the night from a family member is always dreaded. I now knew why ! I was told that my Amma was not well and we needed to go to see her immediately. 5 minutes after we started, we heard the news that she was no more. The ride took 40 minutes and still felt like a terrible nightmare. Once I reached where she was, we decided to wait for a couple of more hours before informing our family and friends. At 4am, I started making the calls. Reiterating to each one that Amma was no more. It was the toughest to state it out loud like that when no one ever saw it coming. Just 12 hours back we were making plans of what sweets each of us would make for Deepavali. Sh...

A quick list of my current Top 5 favourite Taylor Swift songs

I thought I would put up my top 5 TS songs as of Dec 2025 because it will 100% keep changing. 1. All too Well - Like she mentioned on Stephen Colbert Show, yup , the 10-minute version is best to let out an emotional cry. I may not have a broken heart now, but I can imagine her hurt and I feel that hurt and I can listen to the song and feel the emotions and sometimes even cry thinking about heartbreak that is not there in reality, but an imaginary heartbreak just to let out a good cry. I dont know if you can understand that, but I would highly recommend being angry and sad at someone through this song. 2. Love Story - I think this was the first song I heard of Taylor and loved it and still do! This is the most romantic song as a young adult and makes you dream of all the sweetness in the world, waiting for someone to sweep you off your feet and be together happily ever after. She sold that dream and that fantasy. I still love the song for the time it takes me back to. 3. Anti...
