For me, cooking is a form of meditation. It's my way of showering love and blessings on everyone. I feel humbled and happy when my family and loved ones enjoy the parathas that I make. They are always asking me for the recipe.
Sharing my recipes with the world has always given me a lot of joy. Afterall, knowledge increases when shared, doesn’t it?
I had never thought of writing a cookbook and two years ago, my daughter-in-law, Mayura, came up with this idea. She created an entire framework for the book and I just didn’t do anything about it. However, this year, I guess the writing bug bit me and I decided to pen down my recipes with the help of my wonderful grandson, Abhimanyu.
My husband, Krishankant Jain helped me with the wonderful anecdotes and my daughter-in-law, Mayura helped me edit it. My son, Amarkant (Happy) helped design the book and publish it. Little Sanskriti, my granddaughter, used to sit at my side and carefully listen to the stories and recipes and ask lots of questions.
I completely enjoyed the process and am hoping that you all like the recipes too. Through this book, I am passing on my legacy of delicious cooking to you all.
I urge you to keep experimenting with them and cook to your heart’s content.
All the best!

Saroj Jain
A 78-year-old grandmother who is filled with pure love for every soul on this earth is the best way to describe Saroj Jain.
Those who know her describe her as the true embodiment of the Goddess Annapurna, whose kitchen is open 24x7. One can drop in at any time of the day and night and be assured that they will be lovingly served a warm home-cooked meal. Saroj holds a MA in Sociology and a BSc. in Home Science. She was one of the most loved and respected teachers at BD JAIN Degree College & Ratanmuni Jain Inter College in Agra. She was also a Sr. Under Officer with the National Cadet Corps and head-commanded a battalion of hundreds of girls. After her marriage, Saroj quit teaching to focus on her family and even so, she excelled at stitching and cooking.
This book is a compilation of her most unique paratha recipes that she cooks for her family and loved ones.
