  • Hoping that this pretty picture inspires me to write that kombucha post today :) . The jar with the lid clipped on is undergoing second fermentation with watermelon and cinnamon. The one with the cloth tied on is first fermentation which is SCOBY+ sweet black tea - in this heat it should be ready to suit my tastes in ten days (I don't prefer it to be overly sour). . If you have any questions you want me to cover in my KOMBUCHA FAQs blog post, please leave a comment below. . For more such posts, follow @saffrontrail 🌿🌿🌿
  • पोहे आणि चहा, कुणाला पाहिजे? . My ultimate comfort food breakfast is a plate of Poha with both onions and potatoes (must have crisp peanuts) and ginger tea. . What is your favourite weekend breakfast?
  • The great fry up with some ultimate comfort food - Sambar Sadham and Curd Rice. Made a curry leaf kuzhambu from freshly plucked tender curry leaves to go with the Curd rice. Homemade sago and rice vadam, store bought sun dried curd chillies, all deep fried, made fine accompaniments to the meal. . 🌿Swipe to get the recipe of Curry Leaves Kuzhambu, you can prepare a bottle of this and keep in fridge for a week, have with plain or curd rice. Don't forget to save the post if you want to try this recipe. . For more such delicious lunch ideas, follow @saffrontrail
  • It's not often that I make such a pretty looking dessert - chocolate tarts filled with chocolate ganache and a crumble of nutty cookies embedded into the silky ganache.
  • I'm more of a teacakes, muffins, brownies and cookie baker. Have always thought tarts and such fancy things to be next level for me. But trying them nevertheless for my ever enthusiastic kid and his friends :) the finishing needs to be better and will come with practice but as of now I'm going to be satisfied with the taste 😋 . Chocolate tarts, the smaller ones have cookie crumble in them, both have a sprinkle of pink salt on the top . Need some freshly brewed coffee in the kitchen to match with the aroma of these beauties :)
  • Much awaited rains-- happiness!!
  • My husband has eaten here a couple of times with his friends, each time telling me that we must do a dinner here together. On our weekend trip, our friends had reserved for dinner at Royal Vega at ITC Grand Chola and I was eager to try out the food here which is 100% vegetarian from all around India, steeped in Ayurvedic principles of cooking and eating. . Two of us had the Seasonal thali - Ritu Khasa featuring Vasant Ritu and two went with the Ranjit khasa (all year menu) I had the basil chili cocktail :) Some of the seasonal dishes featured from the North were Kali mirch paneer, raw jackfruit kofta, moong Dal with kulfa, Rye flour parathas, kairi kheer and a special chooran powder to be had through the meal to help appreciate the flavours better. . I did taste some of the items from the Ranjit khasa menu . A couple of dishes across the menu felt over salted to me, which they were happy to rectify/ replace. . A one of a kind experience in a beautifully laid out luxurious settings, with attentive service -a lovely choice for a special occasion, more so if you are vegetarian. #saffrontrail
  • Was in Chennai over the weekend to attend a friend's wedding. Chennai- peak summers - outdoor (albeit beautiful) location of Dakshina Chitra meant it had to be a cotton or linen saree. . Wore this airy and light grey linen saree from @ekdori (that I had bought for Diwali ) with an offwhite crop top from @westsidestores. Hair tied into a messy bun because no sane person can leave their hair open here :) swipe to see more pics and see the Diwali edition of the saree in my stories. . The silver neckpiece and earrings bought from @whimsypixy
