  • Every Valentine's Day, my red lilies don't fail to bloom😍 Wishing you all a very happy Valentine's Day ✨✨✨
  • It’s my friend’s birthday today so I called her over for lunch and I promised her a light lunch because of her dining out plans for dinner. My fridge was nearly empty with a little bit of this and that. I had fresh greens from the garden, fresh paneer, one strawberry and a bit of purple cabbage. The butternut squash was made into a Thai coconut soup. Salads were a kale purple cabbage and double beans salad (kale and beans from garden) and a mixed greens salad with paneer. . In my opinion, the best thing you can do for someone you love is give them your time and attention :) everything else comes second. Happy Valentine’s Day 💕💕💕
  • Going with my impromptu Instagram posts, I’m sharing this song that I’ve been humming all day. I haven’t learnt this Raag yet but just picked up some lines by listening to a few versions. I can’t rest until I’ve perfected it but I want you to listen to my current version nevertheless :) It’s in two parts to overcome the one minute video length limitation - but the whole video is on my IGTV too. This is Raag Puriya Dhanashree, a much loved evening raaga sung between 3-6pm, more suited to dusk if you ask me :) #saffrontrail . Double tap so I know you're liking what I post and I can share more of my music with you 💕 #saffrontrailmusic
  • All dressed up for the annual concert day of our Hindustani classical music class. Got my son to click a photo of me before leaving home 💕 Our group had decided to wear red sarees :) . I edited this to get a black and white version and quite liked the effect🤗 . Which one do you like better?
  • Just done licking this bowl clean 😋😋😋 Breakfast: Full fat yogurt + homemade strawberry jam (linking in stories)+ crunchy toasty seed nut mix to top. . That's a hearty dose of protein, calcium, B12, healthy fats in a bowl. If you are vegan, then use coconut yogurt or any other plant based yogurt. . You'll find me making the seed mix last evening in my stories. . For more such no sweat healthy eating ideas, follow @saffrontrail . 💡💡💡Tip: Create a HEALTHY FOOD IDEAS folder in your Instagram and save this pic to your folder. I have one such folder too where I save all the good food ideas to try out when I'm wondering what to cook / eat. . Shopping: Coconut shell bowl bought from @essentialtraditionsbykayal Copper spoon from @shein_in Cast iron pan @lodgecastiron bought from Amazon.in
  • If anything, gardening teaches you patience. Been waiting over 6 years for this lemon bush to bear fruit. Last year we had 1 or 2 lemons every 3-4 months. Whether it was just time that played its magic or the care we have given the plant, it is fruiting rather well this year. Not to the level of several hundred lemons that people talk about their lemon plants, but a couple of dozens is a good start and I'm very happy about it. . I wrote a post to compile all the research and learnings on things to do to make your lemon plant fruit well, sometime last year. I'll link it up in my stories if you want to have a read :) . These lemons were gathered / plucked over last two days. Swipe to see a close up .. . Meanwhile, basking in citrus aromas and gratitude 🤗🤗🤗 . Anyone know what variety these are? Thick skin, fairly juicy, has seeds but not a huge number, spherical in shape, fragrant skin too. @geekgardener @yougrowgirl @a_madteaparty @sangeetaamkhanna .

  • Remember that kindergarten rhyme/game? . Totally loving the Kinnow oranges in season these days. Made an orange yogurt poppyseed cake today using the @epicurious grapefruit poppyseed cake recipe and it turned out so moist and flavoursome. The lemons are from my kitchen garden. Citrus season is indeed a happy season 😍 . Don't miss my kitchen garden tour video - Feb updates. It's 10 minutes long, covers my entire garden and you'll find it on IGTV. . What's your favorite way to use Kinnow Oranges?
