Healthy Veg Curry Bowl

Curry bowls are quite the rage these days. Open Pinterest or any food websites, and I’m quite sure you will find some of these gorgeous bowls loaded with healthy ingredients staring back at you. When I first read about curry bowls, I went hmphhh and said to myself, “this is how I eat my sambar, rice and veggies in one bowl on most weekdays for lunch”. But smirks and jokes apart, they are much more than just mixing a dal, rice and veggies in a bowl, even though that also well qualifies to be a ‘curry bowl’ 😀

  • haven /ˈheɪv(ə)n/noun —a place of safety or refuge 🌸 You turn around and see how life sometimes color coordinates itself. Totally in love with these pops of yellow against the forest green wall. . Featuring: The Throw: The husband was in Hyderabad for a few hours and he was sweet to pop into the @ikea.india store and buy me somethings that I would love - via a video call from the store and asking me to choose whatever I like🤗. I chose this grey throw with a bright yellow border as well as a few rugs for the kitchen and an amazing metal trolley that's just perfect to keep besides the bathtub with the towels, oils etc. . Bedsheet and pillows- bedroom overlooks the frangipani tree in the garden-- this yellow - blue- green frangipani bedsheet from @urbanladder complements the room beautifully. So happy that they have the REAL king size sheets (9ftx9ft) . Coffee mug @fabindianews . Vintage ceramic planter was a gift from my earlier neighbour when she moved out #NOTSPONSPREDBYANYBRAND 🔔NOTE: Brands: please do not repost without my express permission🔔 .

  • 🍺Whenever the husband clicks a photo of me, turns out I have a beer in my hand. And I’m not even a fan of beer. (single malt 🥃 girl) . The only beer I don’t mind drinking a glass of is the Hefeweizen in my local brewery. But I quite liked this Mexican beer Pacifico Clara at @wahaca a Mexican restaurant chain in London. They have these little memento you can take at the exit which look like cards of matches but they are actually seeds of Mexican varieties of chilies 🌶 that you can take back home and grow. Swipe to see more pics from the restaurant. #saffrontrail
  • Sleepover prep morning! When preparing food for a bunch of kids, I prefer to make as much of it in advance. Rather prepare things that can be nicely warmed up in the oven when they are ready for breakfast. Enjoyed this 'extra' waffle with a blueberry sauce made from frozen berries and a dusting of icing sugar. The last pic is the bit we garnished with some cocoa almond spread and the combination was quite yum! This year I'm making this big batch of waffles using a Belgian Yeasted Waffles recipe from @kingarthurflour website-- comes highly recommended in the waffle maker reviews on Amazon. You can Google for this to get the recipe. . Swipe to see close ups 😋😋😋 #saffrontrail And behind the scenes in the Stories
  • I wrote a post on my blog recently on how November was the month of making. This was one of the things I made. For the first time, under the expert guidance of my neighbour Aunty, I learnt and prepared this Amla Pickle. I’m so much in love with the flavour in this one and I’m not even a pickle fan. Also, we consider making granolas and nut mylks cool- how about making pickle making cool again? Go learn some winter specialty pickles from your grandma/ mum/ relatives / neighbours. Our older relatives and neighbours are more than eager to share their knowledge. I can’t tell you how happy it made Aunty that we showed interest in learning her recipe and we actually tried it at home. 💕💕💕 . On a funny note, my househelp was a bit worried if this is my next hobby after soap making, esp given the mess this leaves behind. I reassured her that this is definitely a one off thing 😂 #saffrontrail
  • This recipe is a 5 ingredient wonder. I first had this Beet Dip with Feta at this restaurant /bar The Refuge in the @theprincipalhotel Manchester. It was one of the small plates served as a part of dinner and the flavours were unforgettable. . It’s not a Beet Hummus. No chickpeas in this one. The saltiness of the feta complements the sweetness of the beets like no other. The crunchy crackers along with this silken dip make an addictive snack. . Purée together — 5 small boiled and peeled beets 50-75 gram feta 2 cloves garlic . Top with another 50 gram crumbled feta, swirls of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of dried thyme. Add some crushed toasted nuts for a crunch—in my excitement I forgot to add these. Pistachios will add the perfect color contrast. . SAVE THIS POST and try this dip with homemade or store bought crackers or toasted pita bread. #saffrontrail . Follow @saffrontrail for more such inspirations

  • "sometimes a single modest bloom can say more than an entire bouquet" . Inspiring and beautiful words from a book that's worthy of sitting on your bedside table to give you an understanding of the Swedish concept of 'just enough'. They have a word for it - Lagom. It's that sweet spot between extreme minimalism and maximalism. It's these little things that make life a little better. #saffrontrail . Follow @saffrontrail for such inspirations.
  • I'm often in complete denial of my bad hair days. I remember friends telling me that I need to fix my hair before I show up in a YouTube video. Yes, that bad! Going to a salon is most of the times as anxiety inducing as going to the dentist. For the flaws they'll point out, for the problems they will unearth. I finally took the appointment at @blown.in this week. . A quick moisturizing hair mask and a hair cut (nothing too dramatic or different from my previous look) I came off feeling pretty refreshed and a little more confident about my hair :) The stylist Rekha said my greys look dope and my skin and hair are in great condition for some one who's nearly 42. GASP :) THAT made me happy indeed! . Swipe to see more pics! I have another hair care routine related post coming up so stay tuned! . Shirt @hm Pants @westsidestores .
