As I was growing up I was always curious to learn about different cultures and traditions. This fancy of mine helped me make friends from various ethnic backgrounds from whom I learnt and assimilated their culture.

There are a few recipes which are a keeper, this one being one of them. I generally pick up fresh salmon fillet on my way back home from the gym and stir up this extremely easy and hearty recipe. To whip up this pan seared salmon you only require literally 5 ingredients – salt, olive oil, pepper, pesto of your choice and broccolini. I always have a jar of homemade either cilantro or basil pesto…

There are so many energy drinks available in the supermarkets, but nothing beats a jar full of homemade kairicha panha. Karichi panha is a raw mango cooler which tickles ones taste buds leaving one feel refreshed. I simply love panha for it offers sweet, tangy and salty flavors, all three at the same time. My mom always used to welcome me home post work with a glass full of this goodness. I remember gulping it down to help me restore all the lost energy in the harsh sunny Indian…
