Why the blog?
This blog is all about vegetarian food. Born a vegetarian, I prefer being that way. People often ask, "How do you manage to be a vegetarian?" Most common statement, "Oh you guys don't have variety to eat." Oh well, who says so! There's so much variety that I've never got bored of food and cooking. I love food and cooking is my passion. There's so much variety that you will run out of a lifetime to try them all! This blog was created with an intention of sharing what we eat everyday. To tell all, that being or going vegetarian is so much fun and easy!
A little about me...
Allow me to introduce you to myself. I am Mallika. I stay with my husband and daughter in the beautiful IT corridor of Indian, in namma Bengaluru or Bangalore. Other than being a full time working IT professional, you'll find me meddling around in the kitchen, cooking, reading, photographing, blogging, etc. I juggle through my professional work life and personal passions by squeezing in time for cooking, scuffle in a bit of baking, a little photography, blogging and loads of eating! ;) I am complete foodie in true sense!
What's in my Truffle?
While you'll notice my name on most of my photos, I reserve to use MD to address myself on blogs. I am not so comfortable with the thought of my name or photo hovering over the net. The above picture of the chocolate truffle is one of my all time favorites and my chosen identity too.
Cooking and me...
I love the art of cooking. It's very therapeutic for me and has helped me in many ways, mainly being a great stress buster. Being a creative and adventurous person myself, cooking has rightly been an art involving both ventures of creativity and adventure. I enjoy it thoroughly as it allows me to explore my boundaries beyond any limits. The happiness you get just by the satisified looks of people relishing what you've cooked is immensely encouraging. And it was out of sheer passion for cooking, that I unfolded my blog Veg Bowl!
About Veg Bowl!
This blog is a repertoire of what comes out of my kitchen and what is served on the salver. It's about cooking daily food to occasional indulgences in exotic experiments with food. There's a sweet tooth in me that gambles me into the saccharine living. It is pleasing to my senses, so I am bound to squander myself with desserts. Then, there's the baking desire... from what used to be a baking goosebumps is now a daring challenge! With initial flip-flops, I am now mastering the art to being a chef-baker! So I am loving it!

Eggs & Veg food?
Though being a vegetarian, you will notice the use of eggs in my desserts. I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian and hence dairy and eggs in the recipes have not been eliminated. While I would love to avoid them, I have little choice with the alternatives available. I have restricted the use of eggs only in dessert recipes that require them. I am not keen to use them, but do not mind if they do require to be used. With the lack of convincing ingredients to use as egg-replacers and lack of appropriate egg-replacers available in Indian markets, I am bound to use them. Being a vegetarian, you will come across mostly vegetarian food on my site.
Good photos make add glamor to my blog!
It's been sometime since I have been meddling with my camera. I took a leap into 'Food photography' only after this blog came into existence, though I have been using my Nikon camera for more than
