Nisha Vedi Pawar, Associate Food Editor, Masalamommas.com
Growing up in a home where her parents were always experimenting with food, farming and flavors, Nisha reaped the benefits of fresh, traditional dishes while growing up. Mealtime was a family affair where their love of food often led to the next meal being planned out. After getting married she found herself trying to recreate that ghar ka khaana ‘home cooked taste’ in her dishes.
As she started experimenting in the kitchen she entered the blogging world. In her aptly titled blog; ‘Love Laugh Mirch’ she shares family recipes and childhood memories. What began as a place to document her new marriage, her cooking journey and the construction of her new home has now expanded to share motherhood moments and tales about her colorful culture.
