Rice is one of the items that gets leftover most of the times in Indian kitchens, because one can never estimate exactly as to how much to make in the first place. But that’s no problem at all.

  • Nothing like the fresh produce in the winters- all this for less than a price of a coffee at Starbucks. . Swipe to see the dishes I’ve made with this so far...Palak matar and gobhi matar. . Even the pea pods are so fresh that I’m planning to make something with them. Do you use pea pods in your cooking? Do share your ideas! #saffrontrail #stcooks #zerowaste #noplastic

  • Winter specials - Gobhi Matar, alu methi, pomegranate Raita and roti for Sunday lunch. I don’t know about you but I like a ton of methi in my Alu methi🌱🌱🌱 What’s your fav winter dish?
  • This utterly wholesome happy breakfast all prepped in the @hamiltonbeachindia Professional Juicer Mixer Grinder. . My favourite part about this is using the presets--for the batter I use wet and fine setting and for the podi- dry and coarse. That's it, seal the jar and press start, the machine runs as per the setting and stops when the end result is achieved. The brushed steel design is both visually appealing as well as functional. . For the podi-, I used a mix of chana dal, urad dal, red chillies, sesame seeds each toasted well. I did go overboard with the chana dal 🙈🙈 but thankfully the end result was just right. Swipe to see the ingredients and the perfect coarse grind of the podi- which is how I like it. Some prefer a really fine molagapodi but that's how preferences differ family to family :) . You can check out the #juicermixergrinder from the link in my stories. #sayhellotoperfection #hamiltonbeachprofessional #proresultsathome
  • The best meal we had on our Madras trip last week was at @pumpkin.tales - thank you all for your reccos! The Thai noodle soup was to die for, I could eat this every day of my life. The sourdough pizza, the husband's grilled fish and then our desserts (rum raisin gelato, sticky toffee pudding and the strawberry cheesecake) all sensational. If you visit Madras, you absolutely must have a meal here! Courteous and sweet staff too.
  • This week’s #sosflowerbox is happiness. The best investment I made in 2019 was this- a flower subscription in which a box of assorted flowers is sent home every weekend. I plan to continue this into 2020.
