We'd asked you, dear readers to share recipes of your favourite Mummy ka Khana.

My mother is a fantastic cook. Her dishes are out of the world.

She is a working mother who juggled her time between home and office looking after all of us.

Every second Saturday of the month and public holiday, she would indulge in elaborate cooking.

She made laddoos, jangiris, jilebis, mysore pak to name a few.

We have never felt the need to buy sweets and savories from the shops because of my mom's interest in cooking and her superior taste.

When we were young, she used to host parties on our birthdays and come up with culinary delights.

Her vegetable biryani with vegetable kurma and French fries is irresistible.

The extra ingredient she added to each dish was her unconditional love for each one of us.

Even today when I attempt some of her dishes, I am never able to add her special touch.
