About Me

I am a Konkani from Karnataka. My husband is a Bengali. I host two blogs – this one is my experience while on a journey called motherhood and second is a food blog which if an amalgumation of amchi-bong food and hence the blog title. My life has been a roller coaster ride while I am juggling between my career, household and parenthood. Yet, I’m loving it!!! I believe in living life to its fullest. More of me:
• A hard core foodie who loves to eat and lives to eat.
• An enthusiastic cook
• An avid listener of music
• A patient crafts(wo)man when it comes to painting, soft toy making, stitching, mehendi and creative arts
• An amateur Salsa dancer
• An ardent photographer
• A novice poet
• A travel and adventure buff
• A bloggerTo get in touch with me, please shoot an email to kamathseema1 AT gmail DOT com

      Sent the password right to your inbox. Please check Spam folder as well coz a few people found it there.

        Yup, I am twin mommy. They are 20 months old (brats).
        Btw, I did try out the Kadai Chicken receipe (was the 1st when I searched for Chicked receipes). Turned out good, but now sure why – the capsicum were a but soggy, will try it out again.. Keep in touch.

          Hey, I really have no idea why the Capsicum were soggy. In that case, you might want to slightly stir fry them separately and add at the end.

  37. Hi
    I have been following your blog since 2014 and have read with great interest how you have managed to go to a new land and set base there. The idea of migrating to Australia has been on my mind for some time now but I wanted to know more about the general outlook about migrating and how Australia is for kids. Is it possible to ask you through email?

  40. Hi Seema, You have got a lovely blog out there. You write so well! summerscript is a friend of mine and she encouraged me to participate in the Blogathon. So I have been reading blogs of links that were mentioned as participating. In the last couple of weeks I have been binge-reading the posts on your blog. I read many of your blogs from even 7-8 years ago but couldn’t read your love story as it was password protected. Would you mind sharing the password? I am a stranger to you so I would absolutely understand if you didn’t want to share.
    You are an inspiring and strong woman indeed. Cheers to you and your lovely family 🙂 Looking forward to reading more blogs from you.

            1. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. You are such a courageous, determined woman of grit. Although I knew this from reading your other blogs , this one only confirmed it further. After knowing all the struggle and the pain that you have gone through, it feels heartwarming to see how happy you all are..Wishing you the best. I have gone through your food blogs too and drooled over them 🙂 I am a Mangalorean(although not a Konkani) and I could relate to many of your amchi food posts.
              Cheers and lots of love to you all !
