What to do with leftover rice? Make these Rice Patties

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. A whole book can be written on what to do with it! You can make delicious curd rice the next morning, or p

  • *A #veganuary post* A few weeks ago, I was at @gonative.live at Lavelle Rd for lunch. We picked items from their seasonal as well as regular menu. The beet millet seekh in the first pic was my absolute favourite. Swipe through to see the other dishes we had. The last pic is the anjeer cheesecake which was a stunner and super delicious too. . What I loved about this place: 🍃The climb up to the restaurant makes you gaze at all the pretty stuff in the @thepurpleturtles store. 🍃The decor and especially the lush green terrace seating is such a happy place. 🍃The menu has lots of healthy options, vegan and gluten free options too to cater to all dietary needs 🍃The menu puts local ingredients to best use and comes up with fresh presentation of local and traditional dishes 🍃The plating of every dish was a visual feast, without it going overboard. . If you are in Bangalore, go check out a Go Native closest to you 💕 . Will post some pics in stories that I could not post here due to the 10 photo limit. #saffrontrail #saffrontrailreccos . (This visit was an invite from the restaurant)

  • 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.
