Aarti Paarti Ep. 1: Babaganoush!

Aarti loves to cook.
Aarti loves to cook for you.
Aarti loves all food, but especially the food that reminds her of her various homes: India, Dubai, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles.
Aarti is happy to share her debut editing and cooking show project: Aarti Paarti: Quick Bites.
She edited this all by herself! For the first time! Yipppeeee for me!

You have a British accent. I thought you might have been raised in the UK.

Did you got a British system school then?

I lived in Dubai for about 15/16 years then moved to Sharjah. Now moving back to Dubai again within the next 2 weeks. :)

What brought you to Dubai?

You need your own tv show btw.
