"The lockdown is the best time to be with your family and enjoy each and everyone's favourite food dishes," writes Pooja Mehta from Ahmedabad, India. She shares a number of the delicious-looking dishes.
Currently, we are under "Lock-down 2.0" in India. It was supposed to last until 3rd May 2020, however, today the government has extended the lock-down for another two weeks: which will be until 17th May 2020. Cities in India have been divided into three zones which are 'red', 'orange', & 'green' zones. My hometown is Ahmedabad, and it is situated within a red zone.
In India, people are real foodies: we love to eat - always, in every situation and occasion. The lockdown is the best time to be with your family and enjoy each and everyone's favourite food dishes. We are a nuclear family with five members in the house: myself, my parents and my sister and brother.
As we belong to the Gujarati community, we love to prepare everything ourselves, at home, and enjoy it together. Here I am sharing a few pictures of the dishes we've prepared; with their names and a small description.
