There are few things in life that can comfort and

There are few things in life that can comfort and satiate me as much as Hurnada Holige or Puran Poli. In the maternal side of my family, whenever hurnada holige is made, Kattina Saaru which is Saaru or Rasam made with the broth obtained from cooking channa dal, freshly ground spices and a little hurna (puran) is always made as an accompaniment. It is spicy from the pepper in a nice way, slightly sweet and tangy and is one of the most delectable food that I have ever put in my mouth! Infact, the whole process of festive cooking is special when it stems from being an act of love. Kept the rest of the dishes relatively simple with a Kosambri (raw lentil salad) and beans palya.

Hope all those celebrating had a great meal as well! Happy Vijaya Dashami to all of you. May the good always triumph over the evil. 🙏🏼

Today is Ayudh Pooja! It is a day on which we wors

Today is Ayudh Pooja! It is a day on which we worship our instruments and equipment of work to execute our dharma or what one might call duty or calling in life. I love the sentiments behind this festival where we get to express gratitude for the many things that have been bestowed on us by the divine.

As I did my Pooja today, I expressed gratitude for all my beloved instruments of work without which I could not get by even for a single day.

Although I’m not wearing a saree today as much as I would have liked to pick one from the pile waiting to be worn, I’m sharing a picture taken on this very day in 2019, in my parents workplace where ayudh pooja is celebrated with great fanfare. Although these festivals were such an integral part of my childhood with them, I was fortunate to be a part of this Pooja now that I’m away. I still remember the fragrance of my mother’s banana sheera wafting through the air made for all the people who work for them. Also I love October skies and the sky here is so beautiful! So many things about this picture are special to me…

Janmashtami and Nandotsav are my most important an

Janmashtami and Nandotsav are my most important and favourite festivals of the year. It may be fine with me if I don’t get to celebrate any other festival, but I will not compromise for these two days. They are filled with fasting, cooking, decorating my temple at home with fresh flowers of different varieties, feasting, meditation and deep reflection. It is a ritual for me to make Gulab Jamun, Kheer, Puri, Rasewala Aloo, Panchphoranwala Baigan and Ghee rice on Nandotsav. This is my most basic menu. On a good day, I like to add five different types of laddus, cakes, cookies and savoury preparations too.

Although this time it was a basic, low-key celebration, my heart is full, and I’m grateful for this day!

Happy Janmashtami everyone! Here is a quick and ea

Happy Janmashtami everyone! Here is a quick and easy no cook Burfi recipe, if you want to make something special today.

The offering of bhog to the Lord on festival days (as well as daily) has been a sacred ritual in India for thousands of years and to this day this unbroken practice is followed in temples and homes of devotees across the world.
In the Bhagavad gita, (chapter 9 verse 26), Lord Krishna says:

patram puspam phalam toyam

yo me bhaktya prayacchati

tad aham bhakty-upahrtam

asnami prayatatmanah

which is translated as: "If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit a water, I will accept it."

But the devotees of the Lord love to offer a wide variety of food based on sattvic principles made with love. Food offered this way is known as "Prasad". According to the Srimad Bhagavatam, food offered to the Lord belongs to the category of shuddha sattva and transcends sattvic, rajasic and tamasic gunas or the modes of nature and has a unique spiritual energy to it. It is also important to remember whether it is one item or 56 items, it is the love and devotion with which a dish is prepared, is what is accepted by the Lord.

Whatever way you choose to celebrate, sending you all a lot of love this Janmashtami. Find the recipe for this burfi on my site https://www.divinetaste.com/quick-and-easy-no-cook-burfi-janmashtami-special-recipe/ or google “divine taste burfi” for it.

I still remember the day my brother was born! It w

I still remember the day my brother was born! It was the happiest day of my life and my sister and I went and distributed chocolates to the neighbourhood after we were back from school!

Growing up, my brother and I always shared a special bond and I was always there for him but now there is a reversal of role when he has become my caring and guiding angel in life.

I’m truly fortunate to have such loving and caring siblings who also happen to the be the best Chikkamma and Mamu to Hari! And now to add to the trilogy, life gave me another gift in the form of @kalyanihegde. Grateful for them every day of my life!

This Rakshabandhan I’m away from all my loved ones! This is probably one of the most difficult and challenging time of my life… but deadlines have to be met and work needs to be done, so some sacrifice goes a long way!

Whether you are with your loved ones or away you can celebrate these cherished bonds with @fabellechocolates The Bars Trilogy that has exciting flavours like hazelnut mousse, intense dark chocolate and tiramisu.

Can’t wait to be with my loved ones again and cook something special for them!

There is a saying in Kannada that when it starts t

There is a saying in Kannada that when it starts to rain, mangoes should be tied to donkeys' legs. While the origins of this old saying remain shrouded in mystery, it is a fact that rains signal the end of most mango varieties.

As a mango lover, I continue to eat mangoes for as long as I can access them until mid-August! But come June, Alphonso waves goodbye to us for the year!

While I love love mangoes, I also love to have Aamras with triangular chapatis/parathas during the mango season. Although Puri Aamras is a more exotic combination, chapati Aamras is better for regular consumption.

I have been fortunate to have had access to the best alphonso mango suppliers until now. It is a taste of heaven whether had as a fruit or made into aamras or milkshakes.

And now...It’s that time of the year when I have to say goodbye to my beloved Alphonso…until we meet again! 💛😊

If you are someone who grew up in the 80s or 90s,

If you are someone who grew up in the 80s or 90s, you might remember that melons were a summer delight! Melons were not available throughout the year like they are now! Especially watermelons!

But it's only in the recent few years that I have discovered the joy of melons! Being a hardcore mango lover, I never looked at any other fruit in summer until recently! Of course, mangoes remain my favourite! But I have learned the art of eating different fruits with the king of fruits 🥭 in summer.

Musk melons are delicious! They have a delicate, beautiful musky aroma, smooth and sweet flesh and are satiating on a hot summer day!

Musk melons are cooling in nature and ideal for calming the heat! Summer is a pitta season, and mother nature knows how to give us the most suitable produce, compatible with seasonal variations!

In Ayurveda, there is a saying that when it comes to melons, you either eat them alone or leave them alone! This means that melons are best eaten on an empty stomach. You can eat them in the morning 30 Min before breakfast or in the afternoon between lunch and dinner.

Enjoy your fruit! 🍈🍈🍈

Today is a very auspicious day with two important

Today is a very auspicious day with two important festivals being celebrated. Happy Akshaya Tritya and Eid Mubarak to everyone who is celebrating.

This luscious mango dessert is sure to delight your senses. Mango shrikhand or Aamrakhand is a divine dessert that can be enjoyed anytime during the mango season. Sweet, flavorful mangoes come together with smooth yoghurt to create an irresistible, velvety treat!

Find the recipe on my site. Google divine taste mango shrikhand or look for it on my site (link in bio). https://www.divinetaste.com/mango-shrikhand-aamrakhand/

It was wonderful to attend the launch of the Godrej food trends report 2022 at @vikhrolicucina last night. It was great to meet Nadir Godrej, a wonderful and unassuming man. It was also lovely to meet friends from the industry after a long, long time!

Rushina and her team put in a lot of effort to make this report. I have shared some insights on the classification of vegetables as per Ayurveda, ghee and other titbits in this report. You can download the report from @vikhrolicucina website.

Happy Earth Day! I was so happy to receive this fr

Happy Earth Day! I was so happy to receive this fresh bunch of lettuce despite the heat and humidity of Mumbai. Today is a great day to express gratitude for all the abundance that Mother Earth showers on us for us to live, grow and prosper.

Summer is a great time to eat your salads if you love them! As per Ayurveda sweet, bitter and astringent tastes are recommended to balance the pitta (heat) of the summer season. A light Sattvic meal can be very healing and cooling for this season. Use lime, fresh herbs, greens and stay away from pitta aggravating foods like caffeine, spicy foods, fried foods, garlic, onion, processed and canned foods to balance pitta.

Choosing the right food for you and your family through the changing seasons will ensure health, peace and happiness!

Wishing you all a great summer!

An evening well spent with award winning cheese mo

An evening well spent with award winning cheese monger Francois Robin @robindescheeses that included a virtual fabulous cheese tasting session with a platter full of sweet and savoury cheese pairings.

Francois took us on a far away journey to meadows in France and Austrian alps where family farms have been producing cheese from traditional family recipes for literally thousands of years (the oldest dating back to 1313). Francois also spoke about pairing local ingredients with European cheese- a perfect example of glocal food.

I have always loved cheese which is an occasional indulgence for me as far as the cheese is made from vegetarian sources like microbial rennet. We tasted Camembert, Emmenthal, Blue Cheese and spreadable cheese. My favourite has always been the Camembert and this session only confirmed the same.

Thank you for making me a part of this wonderful session!

According to Ayurveda our five senses are the gate

According to Ayurveda our five senses are the gateways through which we perceive the external world. Underuse, overuse or misuse of these senses can lead to a state of imbalance.

With the help of the five senses, humans can strive to achieve a state of balance. This can be done by regulating our senses.

Sound-We do this by filtering sounds that enter our ears. Swap gossip, negative talk and criticism by hearing sounds of nature-birds chirping, lashing rain, rustling leaves, melodious music and chanting hymns and mantras.

Sight-The sense of sight can be balanced by taking in as much natural light from the sun as is possible and regulating blue light emanating from our screens. Looking at the expanse of the sky, the greenery of the trees and leaves, the vastness of the ocean or the stillness of a lake can be very soothing to the eyes. Yogic practices like trataka (looking at a candle light to enhance eyesight) or staring at the moon and Netra snan (splashing eyes with water) are simple practices for the well being of our eyes.

Touch- the sense of touch can be balanced with Abhyanga or oil massage. This can be done by yourself or by a masseur. Affectionate hugs and kisses from our loved ones (especially for children) are also important to instill a sense of well being in us.

Taste- Eating a healthy balanced diet is a no brainer. Ayurveda also suggests a Sattvic diet with six tastes or shad rasas- sweet, sour salty, bitter, pungent and astringent that includes a balanced meal for over all well being.

Smell- inhaling natural and purifying aromas can be very calming for the mind. I highly recommend camphor and sandalwood for purifying the energy around us.

P.S: I dished out this pic that I shot 14 years ago when I took to photography and didn’t leave home without lugging my slr with me. Those were beautiful times when I started to brush sides with my calling in life. This is a beautiful yellow Gulmohar that blooms in summer. When the Gulmohar blooms it heralds the onset of the Grisham Ritu or the summer season. Looking at the beautiful flowers that bloom every season can instill a deep sense of calm and happiness within.
