Whenever I make Sabudana Kichdi, Im asked how to g Whenever I make Sabudana Kichdi, Im asked how to get the perfect texture with separated sago pearls after cooking. Two important factors for getting good results Is the right technique of soaking and the right time of cooking the sago pearls. I have a detailed method for soaking Sabudana on my website. To know more about this process, check the Sabudana Kichdi recipe on my site. Today I made Sabudana kichdi with sweet potatoes and while making it I thought of my father in law who loves the kichdi I make and I was pleasantly surprised when he called me a few minutes thereafter. Does this happen to you too? Learn how to make this in my stories. Happy #ashadhiekadashi to all those who are celebrating! Pandharpur and Lord Vithala are very close to my heart! šŸ™šŸ¼
A traditional balanced Indian diet takes care of o A traditional balanced Indian diet takes care of our nutrient needs. But in present times, eating habits have undergone a drastic change and coupled with the stress of modern life, we can see many nutrient deficiencies as a result of diet and lifestyle. As a result, this has an impact on leading a happy and wholesome life. One such deficiency that is prevalent in India is iron deficiency and statistics show that nearly one in every two women may have iron deficiency related symptoms like paleness or hairfall or fatigue. Unusual or excessive fatigue or brittle nails or shortness of breath or feeling dizzy or experiencing light headedness are some of the most commonly experienced symptoms of iron deficiency. A good and balanced diet can help you get sufficient iron in your diet. Infact my haemoglobin count has always been normal and I attribute this to the nutrition I get from my food. Even throughout my pregnancy I was able to maintain normal haemoglobin levels by having a good diet. While the symptoms of iron deficiency can be quite daunting, iron levels can be easily and quickly restored with the right supplement. If your iron levels are a little below normal, it can be restored with an iron rich diet. But if the iron levels are very low, then a supplement might be required. Your doctor would be the best person to prescribe it for you. The best part is that with the right supplement, iron levels can be quickly restored and you can maintain the normal levels with a good diet. Drumstick is rich in iron and is very good for restoring iron levels in the body. Learn how to make Drumstick Coconut Curry on my site, link in bio. https://www.divinetaste.com/drumstick-coconut-curry/ #rahostrongironstrong
Chilli walnut noodles, another classic Indo Chines Chilli walnut noodles, another classic Indo Chinese or Chindian dish that is sure to create magic in your taste buds. We relished this plate of goodness for a lovely Sunday dinner today. Hari always gets excited with noodles and itā€™s a pleasure to watch him eat his favourite dish. This dish is spicy and just a wee bit tangy and sweet and with the walnuts, it tastes fantastic! Learn how to make Chilli Walnut Noodles in my stories.
Moresh Bhatta: A dish from my maternal ancestral c Moresh Bhatta: A dish from my maternal ancestral cuisine that I made for a live session with @historywali today after we spoke about all things food. It was great fun talking to Shubhra and making this dish. This is a quick, delicious and satisfying meal that could be had for breakfast, brunch, evening snack or early dinner. I told @historywali that I may not have this for dinner today as I usually have proper meals, but since I have my dinners early, preferably before 7 pm and was in no mood to cook anything else, this delicious dish beckoned and I savoured it to my hearts content. Moresh Bhatta Recipe 3 tbsp oil 3/4 tsp mustard seeds 3 to 4 green chilies or to taste A sprig of curry leaves 1/2 tsp asafoetida 1 tsp turmeric powder 2 to 3 tomatoes, chopped 1/2 of a small cabbage, chopped 1 tbsp or more methkoot or menthehittu (optional) 2 tsp salt or to taste 4 cups thick poha 1/2 cup fresh coconut coriander leaves for garnishing 2 cups fresh yogurt Method: Heat the oil in a pan and put in the mustard seeds. After they pop, add in the green chili, curry leaves, asafoetida, turmeric, chopped cabbage and tomato. Mix well, cover and cook till done. Add the optional menthehittu or methkoot powder, salt and turn off the heat. Mix in the raw poha and stir until the poha incorporates the masala. At the time of serving, place a portion of the poha mixture on a plate or in a bowl. Garnish with fresh coconut and coriander. Add a few spoons of yogurt, mix well and serve immediately. Note: you need to serve this immediately after adding the yogurt or else it gets soggy. Itā€™s a good idea to make this in advance and mix in the yogurt at the time of serving.
Going live with the lovely, exuberant and sweet @h Going live with the lovely, exuberant and sweet @historywali today at 4 pm. I have shot a few episodes for @epicchannelindia with Shubhra and it has always been a wonderful experience with her around! I will be cooking up a very special dish from my maternal ancestral cuisine and also talking about the many influences to my food and cooking while growing up in south India. Would be great to have you with us today! Do join in! #Repost @historywali with @get_repost 惻惻惻 Every conversation Iā€™ve had with @anushruti has had me take away something from it, the depth of knowledge & practice, is something I admire. And so, of course, I couldnā€™t do a South India deep-dive without some nudge nudge push push to get her on #HistoryOnAPlate for some Divine baat-cheet, could I? We end Week 11 with Anushruti taking us to Malnad, to Haveri, to Hubli where she grew up & and to the kitchens of her childhood that straddle both Havyaka & Deshashta cuisines from which she draws her inspiration. See you LIVE at 4pm! šŸŒŗ
Hereā€™s a pic with my father taken on a trip to M Hereā€™s a pic with my father taken on a trip to Matheran from the pre pandemic era. One of the things that I treasure in life are the many adventures that we took and the places we got to see because of him! Many life lessons were learned on these expeditions! Miss appa everyday and I canā€™t wait to see him in person again! Happy Fatherā€™s Day to all the wonderful dads out there!

Today I woke up craving curry! Growing up we ate a Today I woke up craving curry! Growing up we ate a lot of curry as the mother is a pro at making different types of curries. And that is why a plate of curry and rice with a bowl of homemade yogurt on the side is comfort food for me. I love this curry so much that I ate it with red rice for lunch and with white rice for dinner. Today was a happy day! Find how to make this delicious curry on my stories.

Pickles are such an important accompaniment in an Pickles are such an important accompaniment in an Indian meal. They uplift a simple dal rice meal and add zing to curd rice too. They are so appetising that it gets the digestive juices flowing making the meal easy to digest provided it is made without chemicals and preservatives, at home just like your grandmother made it. This raw mango pickle recipe is a fantastic one of you are in the mood to make pickles. This year due to the lockdown, I havenā€™t been able to make my annual batch of mango pickle but thankfully mother dearest took charge and sent me 3 different kinds of pickles made by her. So Iā€™m sorted for this year! But if you can lay your hands on some good raw mangoes, make sure you make raw mango pickle. Because, just like how mango is the king of fruit, raw mango pickle is the king of pickles imho. And you need to make hay while the sun shines which in this case is utilise them raw mangoes before they disappear in a month or so. For recipe click link in bio and look for raw mango pickle. https://www.divinetaste.com/raw-mango-pickle/
Found another set of pre covid pics of me wearing Found another set of pre covid pics of me wearing a saree that I hadnā€™t shared here. Today I opened my saree wardrobe and looked at all my beautiful sarees that flooded my mind with memories. Indeed every saree has a story, of it being a loving gift from a family member or friend or memories of travels and other stories. I have always been fascinated with sarees, having grown up watching my grandmothers, mother and aunts wear beautiful sarees and I really donā€™t do justice to all the sarees in my collection by not wearing them as often as I would like. Besides, life post covid has been very challenging with so many chores to do and getting acquainted with a new maidless, dhobiless lifestyle. But Im also learning practically that change is the only constant in life and the sooner we adapt to new routines and lifestyles the more meaningful life can be. I really donā€™t know when my dhobi who travelled in a truck back to his home state will be back or when our housing societies or we ourselves will return to a precovid lifestyle (or will we ever?) but I do know that life has to move on. My heart is filled with gratitude for my dhobi who immaculately ironed all our clothes and sarees for so many years, as I write this. Maybe just one of the things we took for granted before the pandemic disrupted our lives, but as they say disruption precedes integration and I try to find solace in these words.
Today is my grandmotherā€™s 89th birthday! And a f Today is my grandmotherā€™s 89th birthday! And a follower sent me the recipe of raw mango rice or mavinkayi Chitranna as we call it in Kannada that I learned from her. I feel that the basis and foundation of my cooking was formed in her Bangalore kitchen when I used to visit my grandparents during holidays as a child. Even now when I look back, I remember the table laden with soft fluffy puris served with the most delectable aloo Ras Bhaji that was served every Wednesday for breakfast, traditional north Karanataka fare that was served for lunch and dinner, the amazing sweets that she made (the popular besan Laddu from divine taste is again her contribution to my cooking life) and the people and the guests who savoured all these meals, since my grandparents always had guests to share their meals with! Her storeroom had neatly lined dabbas (boxes) that stored all the groceries in rows and one row was dedicated for all the snacks and goodies. Ajji worked very hard in the kitchen to give her family and guests the best food! She retained her interest to cook until very recently, although she still retains her taste for good food and good sarees. One can always find her neatly draped in a saree, wearing interesting necklaces, powdered face and not a single hair out of place. Happy birthday Ajji! Thank you for all the things you taught me and all the beautiful memories you give me! I will never forget how you taught me so many dishes when I was newly married and you visited me. You even came with me to the crowded Mumbai market, to select the best limes for lime pickle. So grateful for having been blessed with a grandmother like you!
