Guest Post: This is One recipe that left me wondering!

Its is by one of my batch mate and a humble friend from my IHM days, Ms. Esha Joshi. (Yes, I have done my Bachelors in Hospitality as well😂)

Esha is one of the most humble and helpful person you can find. She's been in one of few people from my college I've looked forward to for inspiration and damn great skills.

The Story Behind this

One fine evening I received a text "Need suggestions", there she was preparing for a competition with a very basic motive ' make a recipe using green chili as a main Ingredient'.

Incorporating this ingredient is a challenge and many people don't like the flavor of green chili and using this as main ingredient becomes a task. But for me using weird combinations and new things is what makes me move, that particular day I had nothing to do and suddenly got an interesting task to complete; was running my mind through several ideas and tried a couple of recipes (will share two of them in future posts). Finally by night gave a few suggestions and left off.

Couple of days later, I got a message that includes this picture and a message "Homemade Ricotta and Chilli Ravioli in Herb & Garlic Butter". Boom! That immediately left me mesmerized by her creativity and talent. Yet another of my immediate decision to bring this out to World!

So, Finally here I am presenting you this recipe on behalf of Esha.
