  • Lockdown day 10/21 . A simple Apple cake with some staples at home- baked 2 cakes at once so that the oven is made full use of and I have some back up of cake in the fridge! . Please check out stories for a few Apple cake recipes on my blog.
  • Lockdown day 9/21 . In the middle of sweeping, swabbing, cooking, dishes, laundry, gardening- it’s also important to take out some time to do some things that bring joy for oneself- like music, flowers, poetry- even if it is in little breaks through the day. After cleaning up spaces, I look in my garden for flowers or even leaves that I can arrange in the room, admire that for a bit, take a nice picture and sharing that with you to spread the joy! We sure need these little moments in these extremely dreary times.
  • Lockdown day 9/21- Gardening update and rocket bouquets (swipe to see) . Took some time out to trim stuff in the garden. Had a large harvest of rocket which is growing like crazy given the hot days. Made portions and left them at my door for any neighbours who wanted to take some. Before I get lectured, all due sanitizing and social distancing norms were followed. 🤣🙏🏽
  • Day 7/21 #lockdown cooking - Used the @mealthyindia multipot to make millet payasam and the khichdi, one after the other. Used one yellow bell pepper in fridge to make Raita. Check stories for details. . Khichdi: rice, split green moong, chana dal, tur dal, moong dal, beans, carrot and spices
  • One of the songs that I’ve always loved and find it soothing for the current times. #nanditaiyermusic continue watching the full song on IGTV
  • Day 6/21 Sourdough bread baking under duress because no bread delivery happening on milk basket app and I don’t want to step out as far as possible #lockdown . who knew this obsession with DIY would prove useful some day #stcooks . Top a slice with peanut butter, some seeds and honey / syrup. I had some leftover juices from stewing apples in brown sugar and butter for a tart that we made before the lockdown was announced. It is most flavourful when drizzled on toast.
  • Lockdown day 4/21 . Today felt like the weirdest Saturday. Didn’t feel like a weekend at all. Went to the garden after a few days and found some stuff that needed plucking such as the tomatoes, limes and pomegranates. The country is in lockdown but nature goes about her business as usual 🌸🌸 . I had a fun live chat today on @shethepeopletv with @kiranmanral and @gdevidayal on what we are cooking these days. You’ll find the chat on their FB page. . Evening was spent playing monopoly with family and I just about didn’t go bankrupt. . Dinner was noodles and veg stir fry- you can see the step by step recipe in my stories. . How was your day today?
