From our grandmother Dolly, we inherited a life-long love for food. Hearty, bursting with flavour, the food she cooked for us always felt like a tight hug from home. Despite this early introduction to great Indian flavours, when it came to cooking Indian at home, I was always intimidated. Which spices was I meant to dry roast and which worked best when added last? It felt easier to just get a takeaway. It took moving back to India, starting a food blog and experimenting (many, many times) with spices to understand how to balance Indian flavours and cook a great meal. My most important lesson? A handful of Indian spices can make anything taste better, whether that's a curry or a spiced mayonnaise! My second lesson? Taking my time to prepare a handful of spice blends on an off day would cook me a week's worth of meals! Finally, I could cook meals like Dolly Mumma made, that too in a jiffy. With Dolly Mumma we want to share this magic with you. We put the love, patience and good ingredients in at our end to make cooking from scratch easy at your end. Made with love, from our family to yours.
