5 Easy Recipes to Cook for Your Mom This Mother's Day (Even If You're Not a Chef)
Last Updated: This Mother's Day, step into the kitchen and cook her something from the heart There's something incredibly intimate about cooking for someone. And when that someone is your mom—who's probably spent decades making sure you were well-fed—there's extra emotion in every chop, stir, and spoonful. This Mother's Day, step into the kitchen and cook her something from the heart. You don't need to be a seasoned cook or attempt anything Michelin-worthy. Simple, heartfelt dishes using fresh, wholesome ingredients will do just fine. The goal isn't perfection—it's love on a plate. Check out these recipes by Parag Milk Foods. Sooji Halwa with a Ghee Twist – A Childhood Favorite, Served in Reverse If there's one dessert that instantly transports you back to your childhood, it's halwa. Soft, sweet, and aromatic with ghee and cardamom, this is the comfort food she probably made for you more times than you can count. Now it's your turn. Roast semolina slowly, add in a spoonful of golden ghee, sugar, and water, and let the magic happen. Add a handful of cashews and raisins for that festive touch. Serve it warm in her favorite bowl, and you might just see her get a little teary-eyed. Grilled Cheese Sandwich with a Twist – For the Mom Who Loves Her Comfort Food A grilled cheese sandwich may seem simple, but it's all about how you make it your own. Use slices of her favorite cheese, sandwich them between buttery bread, and toast it until golden brown. Want to elevate it a little? Add thin tomato slices, a sprinkle of oregano, or a bit of green chutney for an Indian touch. Pair it with a side of fresh salad or a glass of juice. It's a perfect brunch dish that feels indulgent yet familiar—and lets her enjoy a meal made just for her. If there's a fruit that defines Indian summers, it's the mango. A classic mango milkshake is easy to make and brings with it memories of childhood summers and mango-stained hands. Blend fresh mangoes with chilled milk, a bit of sugar, and ice cubes. You can even add a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you're feeling extra generous. Serve it with a sprinkle of cardamom or saffron—and a smile. Yogurt Parfait – Beautiful, Balanced, and Instagram-Worthy Looking to impress her with something light yet visually delightful? Try a fruit parfait. All you need is some flavored yogurt (like mango or strawberry), a handful of granola, and some chopped seasonal fruits. Layer it in a glass—yogurt, granola, fruit, repeat. It's refreshing, healthy, and feels like a dessert without the guilt. Serve it as breakfast in bed or as a pretty afternoon snack. Masala Chaas – A Cooling Final Touch Wrap up your meal with a refreshing glass of masala chaas. Blend yogurt with cold water, a pinch of roasted cumin, chopped mint, and a bit of salt. It's a digestive aid, a palate cleanser, and a cooling summer drink all in one. Garnish with a sprig of mint or coriander, and serve it chilled—ideally after she's enjoyed her meal, sat back, and put her feet up. First Published: May 10, 2025, 10:47 IST

Milk gets costlier: Amul, Parag Milk Foods follow Mother Dairy with ₹2/Litre hike
New Delhi: Leading dairy players Amul and Parag Milk Foods have announced a Rs 2 per litre increase in milk prices effective May 1, 2025, following a similar hike by Mother Dairy earlier this week, citing rising procurement and input costs. The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets its products under the Amul brand, said the price hike applies across all variants of fresh pouch milk . This is Amul's first price increase since June 2024. 'Amul offered extra volume in packs and had even reduced prices in January 2025. The current revision supports our 36 lakh milk producers amidst rising production costs,' GCMMF said in a statement. Nearly 80 paise of every rupee paid by consumers goes to dairy farmers, it added. Parag Milk Foods, which sells fresh milk under the Gowardhan brand, has also revised prices by Rs 2 per litre. 'This adjustment helps us support our dairy farmers facing increased input costs, while continuing to deliver pure, fresh milk to our consumers,' said Ajay Singh Barodia, president - sales at Parag Milk Foods. Earlier, Mother Dairy revised its prices across all markets, attributing the hike to a Rs 4 - 5 per litre increase in procurement costs due to heatwave conditions and early summer onset. The company raised prices of its key variants by Rs 1 - 2 per litre across pouch and loose milk.
