I won't deny that the festival season is best enjoyed in India, especially how the streets get so colorful with bright lights, colors and what not..But I can say that I celebrate everything in my own version over here which is equally fun..Hows everything at your end?

[@geetakhurana6864]

Great vlog Cake is awesome But I need eggless cake Your home is so neat and clean Story fry vegies are amezing Manchurian is delicious Mushroom 🍄 in sauce is great experience ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@homegupshup]

Ah thanks a ton for watching the video..This cake was indeed eggless.. Hope you will enjoy making it too..Thanks for all your kind words

[@megmitra2614]

Dill is a herb. Methi is Fenugreek. In Mumbai we used to eat methi aloo bhaji. Try baking sweet potatoes & sprinkle dill on it like in India we use dhania. It adds to the taste of sweet potato. Your voice is very sweet.

[@homegupshup]

Ah!! That's a lovely idea !! thanks for sharing it with me

[@megmitra2614]

@@homegupshup forgot to mention you can bake russet potatoes, carrrots, bell peppers with sweet potatoes. Recently started eating sweet potatoes like this after eating somewhere in a sandwich.

[@megp10]

Hi Ragini. Love watching your videos. Would like to know where did you buy your 2 large wooden bowls from? Can you send me the link?

[@homegupshup]

Hey, thanks for watching the video..Both the bowls are from Ikea..Hope you can find them too..

[@aasthabagga3190]

U can use a kitchen cotton napkin to squeeze out all water for manchurian frm the vegetables rather than using hands in such cold weather

[@homegupshup]

Thanks for the tip !! Hope you enjoyed watching the recipe 😃

[@MM-hw6fz]

Don't worry about the cold, she lives in Germany and it has central heating inside the homes so it's never cold inside the house !

[@anncrake7045]

Which part of the world are you.

[@PratGa14]

Where do you stay

[@gokilapushpakharan3781]

Hi. There is no link for salad spinnee.. Please provide

[@homegupshup]

Oh, sorry about that !! You can easily find one at Ikea.That one is pretty good and has decent reviews too

[@KindergartenWithMsFozia]

I keep wondering about your video recording and editing skills. How many cameras you use.... The light The music Sound Voice over All of these factors Attention to detail You put a lot of effort in your content unlike other home vloggers Much appreciated.. ❤❤❤❤ Could you talk about how you learned all of these skills and maybe make a video about how you record and edit your content It will be a fun watch

[@homegupshup]

Ah thank you so much for noticing all the efforts !! Yeah there's a lot that goes into video making, perhaps I can consider making a short video on this topic !! Thanks for the suggestion. If you have any requests for future videos, let me know! 😄
