  • Rarely do I feature my kid’s work online, except his photography (most of the photos of me are clicked by him these days) but these #StarWars Origami finger puppets were too cute not to share with you guys ❤️❤️❤️

  • This is a sight for sore eyes. After buying at least half a dozen plants over the last 8 years this one finally worked. It's not giving 100s of fruits but even a couple of dozens is a good start 🍋 . I had written a post on my blog on caring for lemon plant - shall link it in stories. Have you grown citrus plants? Any tips you would like to share, please leave a comment below. . Follow @saffrontrail #saffrontrail for more such #kitchengarden updates
  • I love getting creative with @feelthefizz & it's fun to give a creative spin to an everyday garment like a saree. . Have worn a basic cotton saree in a fun contemporary drape paired with a crop top and crop pants (and white sneakers, which don't see in the pic- check stories😊). Wear your creative hat and come up with your own pairing or dish or beverage with Appy @feelthefizz and stand a chance to win beautiful merchandise or a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. One of the previous entries has already won a phone, so keep sending yours! . ✨To enter: ❤️LIKE this post 🖤FOLLOW @feelthefizz ❤️Upload a photo of your Appy Fizz food or drink pairing using the hashtags #ArtofFizz and #saffrontrail . #contestalert
  • Today's #lunch was this rainbow salad, with lots of ingredients from the garden - swipe to see ingredients. You may not have these exact ingredients but nothing stops you from making a big bowl of colorful salad with everything you can find in your fridge. . ROUGH RECIPE: Kale + Red chouli+ manathakkali (black nightshade)-- blanched, chopped Fresh green moong just shelled from the beans Green pear Yellow bell pepper cucumber Rocket Pomegranate 1 small amla- slice very thin so you don't get a big burst of sourness while eating Fresh turmeric Butterfly blue pea flower . Dressing: just mixed in lime, extra virgin olive oil salt + touch of honey mixed seeds + microgreens for topping . Lots of colour, such a variety of micro nutrients, lots of fibre, makes you eat slowly with a lot of chewing, filling too! . Bookmark the post so you get inspired to make your own salad combinations like this one. Lots of salad making tips and recipes in my cookbook #TEHV too! Link in bio if you want to check it out / buy! . Thank you for the massively encouraging response to my earlier saree post 💕💕💕
  • HELLO THERE🤗🤗 Not the kind of post you usually see from me, but what the hell, right! . Some of the drapes we never get around to wearing with our sarees are so much more comfortable for a get-up-and-go lifestyle. I wish we can wear sarees in more than just the modern day version which is an adaptation of the Nivi drape. Most of these drapes don't even need the annoying petticoats!! . I hope putting this post out here encourages you to try out different drapes. You’ll find amazing videos by @borderandfall on their website thesariseries.com for over 85 styles of draping (not sponsored or anything, just sharing an amazing resource) #thesariseries . I'm lucky to have neighbours who are so enthusiastic about preserving not just weaves but also draping techniques from around the country. We showcase all of this in an annual saree event in our community each year. This was one of the pics we clicked in a fun photo shoot! . This is a kosa silk saree from #chhattisgarh - one of the two such Sarees the dear husband got me when his work would take him to those parts almost every fortnight. #weavesofindia . Bag is a pineapple fiber piece from Philippines almost 12 years old, husband gift again :)

  • Fall or autumn is my favourite season, even though I have never experienced it in India. The changing colours of the leaves, the nip in the air and the excitement of Christmas and new year round the corner, is indeed a beautiful time of the year. Last year, I got to experience the beginning of fall in Costswolds and it was every bit as magical as I had imagined it. . Inspired by my favourite season, I have created for you a cocktail called Autumn in a Glass, that I absolutely want you to try out this season. If you are a teetotaller then just use more quantity of Appy @feelthefizz to make up for the alcohol or use a brewed tea instead of the alcohols. . Autumn in a Glass has some of my favourite ingredients like rosemary, cinnamon, ginger and sliced apples, along with a white spirit (use vodka, white rum or gin) and the citrus flavour from Cointreau. Swipe right for the recipe! 📍Save the post to try it out soon! . ✨I will be giving 2 of you a chance to win a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ or exclusive Appy Fizz merch as part of the #ArtofFizz contest. . ✨To enter: ❤️LIKE this post 🖤FOLLOW @feelthefizz ❤️Upload a photo of your Appy Fizz food or drink pairing using the hashtags #ArtofFizz #saffrontrail . #contestalert
