I don't like gourmet cooking or "this" cooking or "that" cooking. I like good cooking – James Beard

Namaste and welcome to Ladles and Leaves!

My name is Puja Bramania and I am here to share some wonderful and easy to make recipes with you. I was born and brought up in Mumbai, the city of dreams as everyone calls it and moved to the US (California) after getting married to Suraj, my husband. This space is going to be all about different kinds of tried and tested recipes that I have learned to cook. I am blessed to have both my moms (my mom & Suraj’s mom) who are absolutely wonderful cooks and allowed me to post their traditional recipes here on this site. I will also be posting a few of my own innovative recipes and a few recipes that I stumbled upon on the Internet, TV shows and cookbooks!

Happy Cooking! 🙂
