Browse through Traditions With A Creative Twist, a public food page on Facebook and you're flooded with interesting recipes straight from the kitchens of Mumbai homemakers. Most of them have been tweaked to suit contemporary tastes. For instance, a traditional Assamese sticky rice recipe features coconut cream instead of yoghurt while a pan-fried pumpkin comes flavoured with Panch Phoron (Bengali spice mix) and topped with cheese. Started by mother-daughter duo Ruma and Kasturi Hazarika last year, the page, with more than 1,400 members, invites people to share various regional recipes, along with their photographs and a brief write-up. The catch: these need to be self-cooked.
