Jeerem Meerem Powder
I was brought up by pai and mai who loved cooking. Mum cooks awesomely well. My dad learnt to cook fairly late … I think he was 65 then. Cooking, it might seem is in the genes but then one has to get down to it to make the genes work. I have some staples in my kitchen. Jeerem Meerem powder is one of them. It is a versatile mixture and can be used for just about anything: fish, meats, even vegetables. It is one of my must have magic powders.
