Over the past few weeks I have been consistently baking something in the kitchen..That is the only activity my daughter doesn’t get bored within few seconds and also am not that ‘Creative’ Mom in putting together…

Have been planning to make Kadhi in Instant Pot for a while now..Whenever I ask Mr.S ‘Shall I make Kadhi today?’ his reaction will be ‘adhuku nee morkuzhambe panniden’ 🤷😝…
