My relationship with my mother and her cooking is a typical mother-daughter food relationship. What it&#8217;s not is, all lovey-dovey all the time. Sometimes, I was a demanding daughter foodwise. Tantrums and outbursts from me when I was little were part of her life. Over the years, what I learned about her is she is just like me, a human being, not a superwoman with magical powers. <\/p>\n<p>But I do absolutely worship what she represents, a lifestyle so different from mine and a culinary style so genuinely charming, that&#8217;s what I remember and miss the most about her cooking and have been trying to capture in my foodblog. Example is the image below.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/mangodal\/mamidikayapappu5.jpg\" class=\"noborder\" alt=\"Mango dal and rice mudda in a sabudana papad\" \/><br \/>\n<small>Pure Love and Affection ~ Amma Mudda (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nandyala.org\/mahanandi\/archives\/2006\/03\/27\/maamidikaya-pappu-mango-dal\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mango Dal<\/a> Mixed with Rice &#038; Ghee)<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Thanks <a href=\"http:\/\/en-ulagam.blogspot.com\/2006\/06\/10-things-i-miss-of-moms-cooking.html\" target=\"_blank\">Revathi<\/a> for tagging me and to <a href=\"http:\/\/spiceisright.blogspot.com\/2006\/06\/these-are-few-of-my-favorite-things.html\" target=\"_blank\">Garam Masala<\/a> for thinking of this wonderful meme to honor the mother figure in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>My tags: It would be a pleasure to read what <a href=\"http:\/\/gattinamia.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gattina<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.desertmodernism.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\">Evil Jonny<\/a> and soon to be mom <a href=\"http:\/\/towardsabettertomorrow.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kay<\/a> say about their mom\/mother figure.
