Happy children’s day! Sharing some screengrabs from my show #kiddiescornerwithanushruti on @rajshrifood shot a while ago! My little Hari is not so little anymore and I miss that phase as much as I relish the present!

There is a collection of 12 healthy recipes here curated especially for kids! Will be sharing the direct link in my stories or you can find it on google or YouTube if you look for kiddies corner with anushruti.

The humble spices in our kitchen have immense medicinal and healing properties! It’s time to give them their due recognition! Fennel seeds are well known for their excellent digestive power and are good for gas, bloating, acidity and other concerns relating to the digestive tract. They have antioxidant properties that are great for skin and hair. And apart from many other benefits, also help in weight management and detoxification.

Make this simple tea and have it at least for 7 days to experience their miraculous benefits. The best time to have this tea is during the Vata period of the day which happens to be between 2 pm to 6 pm. Make sure you sip on the water and chew the seeds! 🤍

Instagram is full of recipe ideas to make for the festive season. If you haven’t made anything yet and want to make something special and quick for your loved ones, take a look at pineapple sheera!

I love a well made pineapple sheera, and a big shot out to my dear sil @hegdevinutha who makes awesome pineapple sheera!

Find the detailed recipe for this exquisite treat, full of pineapple flavour here:

Pineapple Sheera

Ingredients:

1 cup organic cane sugar (raw sugar)
3 cups water
1/4 tsp saffron
1/2 cup ghee
1 cup fine semolina (Bombay rava not chiroti rava)
1 cup pineapple, chopped into cubes
1/2 tsp cardamom powder

Method:

1. Mix the sugar with the water, add the saffron and heat on moderately low heat.
2. In a pan heat the ghee and after the ghee melts, add the semolina and roast on low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until the raw smell disappears.
3. Add the pineapple pieces into the pan and roast on low heat until the semolina is golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
4. Pour the sugar syrup into the pan and allow the semolina to absorb all the water.
5. Stir in the cardamom powder, mix well and cook for a couple of minutes more and turn off the heat.
6. Say your prayers and enjoy!

In lieu of the classic British humour and the high

In lieu of the classic British humour and the highlight lettuce has got in the media lately, I had the chance to share all about lettuce with @middayindia in today’s edition.

Lettuce grows very well in the cooler parts of the year and we get the freshest produce in the winter. Though India is the 3rd largest producer of lettuce in the world, lettuce is yet to find mainstream acceptance in India. It is rarely used in traditional Indian cuisine.

Using lettuce in a salad is a no brainer but I also love to use lettuce in roasted and grilled vegetables. I do this by adding roughly chopped lettuce when the vegetables are half done. This ensures that the lettuce is not charred and roasted to perfection. Lettuce is high in minerals like calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and potassium and it’s nice to include it in your diet at times!

Find the recipe for a family favourite Greek Salad in today’s mid day or on my website by doing a search for divine taste Greek salad.

There is something pristine about cooking, serving

There is something pristine about cooking, serving and sharing food with love. Yesterday I was fortunate to share my table filled with regional north Karnataka fare, with one of the sweetest souls I know. And the thing about Indian regional cooking is that there are so many hidden aspects to it, one that has been passed on through generations from hundreds of years. So much to learn and so much to explore. It is one of the most fortunate experiences to be able to experience it and share it! @emilyshahofficial

The menu: Saaru (hot and spicy rasam) which was perfect for the weather, Ridge Gourd Ennegai (recipe similar to eggplant ennegai on divine taste), ridge gourd peel chutney, red black eyed pea curry, Kosambri salad, Jhunka Vadi (recipe on divine taste) and one of my popular recipes-peanut laddu (recipe on divine taste).

Lunch today was jowar roti with ridge gourd cooked in a peanut masala, a bowl of homemade yoghurt, horsegram curry and my favourite ridge gourd peel chutney.

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! 💛😊
