00:00I'm not into professional cooking. I'm into home cooking. I'm just a mother, a real mama
00:15who cooks at home. It's inbuilt that I can cook. Like I've always brought up my children
00:19and I tell everybody, you do something, you do it well or don't do it at all. And I practice
00:24it myself. If I'm not in a mood to cook, forget it. I'm not cooking. I need a holiday. You're
00:29all cook. If you all can't cook, then bring the food from out. But I'm not cooking. When
00:33I cook, they chorus that they want grandma's or mama's potato chops. My pulao turns good.
00:41Don't ask me why, because everybody keeps coming and watching me how I make the pulao,
00:47but they say, ours doesn't come this way. Even if we go back and try. When they come
00:51to Goa, they really enjoy it because the food that we do, in many places, it's still prepared
00:57in the traditional way. Like it's cooked on firewood. It's cooked in earthen vessels.
01:04The masalas are all ground on a stone. And that makes them really enjoy the food and
01:09it does taste different that way. Rice, curry and fried fish is the staple food of a normal
01:20Goan that you would find in any home, rich or poor.
