  • We buy organic full cream milk and all the cream is religiously collected every morning into a box which is kept in the freezer. The box fills up in 10 days or so after which it is thawed, some Dahi added into it and mixed. Kept overnight to become sour cream, this is churned to get butter. Butter is scooped out letting as much of the buttermilk drain. The butter is simmered in a pan until it turns a dark golden colour and the solids separate out to get gloriously fragrant ghee. In the last stage, I added a betel leaf (pan). It is said to add flavour as well as make the ghee last longer. Other flavouring that could be added are curry leaves, moringa leaves or fenugreek seeds. This is filtered out along with the solids. I got at least a 100 responses to my stories yday asking why the leaf/ what is the leaf etc so I thought ill just share it in a post ❤️❤️

  • Strawberry and ginger #kombucha - home brewed goodness! Swipe to see the first and second stages of fermentation. Mine didn’t turned out that fizzy after F2. Any tips from fellow booch brewers?
  • Beet sourdough and a chocolate sourdough, that I started on Wednesday and I let it go on at its own pace. Let it sit in the fridge for nearly 24 hours, removed it this morning, shaped and proved again on the counter before sending them into the oven. I have a bunch of dips and spreads in the fridge and that’s going to be our Valentine’s Day dinner 🙂 Stay tuned for the post baking pics in stories 😃😃
  • The flurry of activity and the buzzing stress of the last few days of a project - what do I say! I thrive on it and I get exhausted by it too. I look forward to the breaks which I pencil out religiously in my calendar to either listen to music, practise music or read a few pages from a book or hang out on Twitter. These help me recharge for the next things on my time table. . This is a nearly 15 year old Odisha handloom saree paired with a random kalamkari blouse I’d gotten stitched in my Hyderabad days. A couple of you asked me if I wear Sarees even at home when I’m not going out. Answer is yes :) Soft cotton Sarees are comfortable to wear all day and it also makes you feel like you’re ready for work, so a bit of extra productivity there! . I’ve put in 3 hours of work this morning and after this break I have some more to get done as I have a concert to attend to this evening that I’m so looking forward to❤️ . Have a lovely lovely weekend, my friends💕
