  • 💐🌷🌹🌸🌼Just some happy pics from Onam celebrations in my community- swipe to see the beauty of a pookalam my neighbours and friends made 🌼🌸🌺🌷💐
  • Last to last week, I placed my first order from @kerehaklu farms - after seeing those farm fresh pomelos, avocados and limes, could not resist getting a taste of them. . The pomelos inspired my next column in Mint Lounge (which you'll read this Saturday), avocados went into fully loaded nachos for dinner last evening, the thin skinned juicy limes have been adding freshness and fragrance to every meal. . I featured all three ingredients in my dinner salad this evening along with peeled strips of carrot, cucumber, green capsicum, pomegranate, topped with toasted seeds and microgreens @livingfood.co . Finished off with some hemp hearts and hemp seed oil from @boheco_life (added just before eating so it's not seen in this pic) . Swipe to see another picture of this bright and beautiful salad 💕💕💕 .

  • As a vegetarian who eats eggs, I have always been conscious of the fact that consuming eggs produced by birds cooped up in battery cages cannot possibly be a humane thing to do. In my search for good quality free range eggs, we have pretty much regular with Farm Made @_farmmade eggs. Their farm in Coimbatore provides plenty of outdoor and indoor spaces for the birds to roam, with access to quality food & water at all times. That’s definitely a feel good factor. The eggs are also free from any antibiotics or growth supplements. I personally love the golden yellow sunshine like yolks. . Here’s one dish I meal prep for my weekday breakfasts. I make a 6 egg frittata, that’s 4 servings of 1.5 eggs each. I save them in an airtight container separated by parchment paper, warm up for 30 seconds in the microwave and eat it with toast or a few greens from my garden. . To make the 6 egg frittata, I saute nearly 3 cups of chopped vegetables like bell peppers, onions, peas, zucchini along with chillies and herbs in olive oil. Once the veggies are a bit soft, I spread it all over the pan in one layer. In a bowl, I break 6 eggs, whisk them with salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the cooked veggies in the pan. Cover and let this cook until set, over a low flame. Using a dish to cover the pan, I invert the frittata and slide it in back into the pan to cook the other side for another 5 minutes. You can also put the pan in the oven to cook the frittata if the pan is oven-safe. Cut into 4 pieces and serve or store in the refrigerator. Consume within 3 days. . What is your favourite way to eat eggs? . For more such easy recipes, follow @saffrontrail #saffrontrail . {In collaboration with @_farmmade}
  • Wore this white Chikan Kurta and Kota dupatta for a Delhi theme charity lunch at my neighbour’s place. A good 2 hour break filled with fun conversations, company of a super enthusiastic aunty in her 90s among others - post which I tied my hair up and got down to my writing desk :) . I’ll show you what we ate in stories as I forgot to add it to the pics here 😭 . How was your day?
