After a spate of challenges, I finally set up my n

After a spate of challenges, I finally set up my new kitchen here in Bangalore! When my Mumbai kitchen was dismantled I had no idea about how my enormous collection would fit in a running kitchen but by divine grace everything has fit in like magic!

The first thing I made after the kitchen was set up was my famous melting moments cookies for my niece S’s first bday. Made with just organic plain flour, butter and sugar and no chemicals in it, these melting moments are perfect for an occasional indulgence. I loved taking them and arranging them at the party venue. I was thrilled to see these cookies enjoyed by adults and kids alike, many of them asking for more and gladly I had made a big batch.

These cookies from my website earned a top spot on google for years and you can also watch this popular video on @rajshrifood or find it on my website.

P.S- you can spot my two little nieces in this video. Also thanks @saanvi.padaki for the pic!

Wore a saree after a long time to celebrate my birthday on the 24th with my loved ones. Hope 2023 is the year where all the work that I have been doing behind the scenes comes to the fore and I’m able live upto my highest potential in all areas of my life! Thanks to everyone who wished me and made my day special!

My last meal before I left Mumbai was in Baluchi a

My last meal before I left Mumbai was in Baluchi at the @thelalitmumbai. When I went there for dinner, I had no idea what I would be in for! This Maharashtrian Thali was one of the most authentic and delicious meals I had ever had in recent times, and I was grateful that it was made to my dietary specifications too. Although chef Amit does not hail from Maharashtra, he learned the nuances of Maharashtrian cooking from an aaji (grandmother) in his building who whacked him sportively whenever he got the seasoning wrong! The masala bhaat (spiced rice), usal (curry made with whole moong), varan (Maharashtrian dal), aloo chi bhaaji (sautéed potatoes) and sol kadi (Kokum drink) were all delicious and transported me to my grandmother-in-law’s kitchen. It was that authentic! And the modern twist on the Thali was paneer Kolhapuri and the paan ice cream after dinner. Heartfelt gratitude to the chef and the team at Baluchi. Thank you, @vishaldudeja, for this most unforgettable experience. Will always cherish this experience!

I just discovered that ace photographer @bharatbhi

I just discovered that ace photographer @bharatbhirangi is no more. He was one of the most wonderful and unassuming people I have ever met! He shot many pictures of my food when @sonabahadur was the editor (miss that team) of BBC GoodFood India, teaching me many tricks of the trade that later on helped me in my photography journey. He also shot this picture of mine that made its appearance in a few editions of BBC Good Food India.

His passion for photography and teaching was reflected in the many exhibitions he held as the head of Bharati Vidyapeeth school of photography in Pune. I fondly remember attending one of these exhibitions held at the @taoartgallery in Worli, Mumbai and being treated with so much warmth and respect by him and his team.

It was an honour and a pleasure to know you Bharat! My earnest prayers for your onward journey and may you find peace where ever you are!

Simple yoga combined with a little Pilates has bee

Simple yoga combined with a little Pilates has been an indispensable part of my life for many years. Doing this kickstarted my metabolism for the day, kept my weight in check without any strenuous diets and also energised me. Studies show that exercise relieves stress but since the year began, stress got the better of me and for the first time in nearly a decade, I stopped my regular exercise. I started my exercise routine again and I’m so grateful for the same!

Baking Hari’s birthday cakes used to be one of the highlights of my life every year. With all my boxes still unpacked, this is the first time I didn’t bake a cake for Hari’s birthday!

But that didn’t stop me from making it special for my cheese loving boy with this cheese platter with locally made, vegetarian and chemical free cheese from @begumvictoriacheese. Trust moms to always come up with things to make their kids happy!

The deep and nutty flavours of the French cheese Gruyere, the buttery, rich and creamy Spanish cheese Manchego and the soft, creamy and silky Brie were complemented with colour and texture by strawberries, walnuts and prunes. I also had a side of some crackers.

Thanks to my dear friend Saloni who always gives personalised gifts for handing over this board that didn’t go into the boxes. 😊

It has been such a wonderful journey to be a mother to this wonderful boy and I’m grateful for the loving and responsible person he is shaping up to be.

Yesterday, I had the honour and pleasure of savour

Yesterday, I had the honour and pleasure of savouring food cooked by the incredible @thatthalasserygirl. Our meeting was long intended but somehow fructified yesterday.

Marina’s food was all that I had imagined it to be. Having eaten Kerala food cooked by some of the best temple cooks, what was spectacular about this meal, apart from its authentic taste, was that she made the entire course single-handedly. Marina’s food is exactly how traditional Sattvic food is prepared. It is not overtly spicy, and the moderate use of just the right amount of spices and techniques brings out the flavours of the vegetables. This food is good for the body, mind and soul indeed!

Marina is a classic example of how age cannot hinder one’s calling in life. She decided to become a student at age 50 and went on to pursue the culinary arts in NYC, interned at a Michelin-starred restaurant and then ventured into Oottupura and now has every celebrity in town eating out of her hands. And I get the feeling that her journey has just begun and she will do great things to take her beloved cuisine to the world in the years to come.

Her discipline, devotion and commitment shine through her work, and her single-minded focus on her passion is truly admirable. Apart from cooking a fantastic meal, the love and affection with which she serves her food is the icing on the cake.

Thank you for a memorable afternoon, dear Marina! But I shall remember to skip breakfast when I’m having lunch with you to do full justice to your food the next time we meet! 😊

Marina cooked a naadan or traditional meal made of:

Red Matta rice
Kerala sambar

Avial
Madhura Pachadi
Morozhichukootan
Kaya peralan
Koorku kalan
Inji pulli
Kadu manga achar
Pappadam

There are so many aspects and layers to us as huma

There are so many aspects and layers to us as human beings, and true wellness and balance can be achieved when we focus on 3 important aspects of ourselves- body, mind and soul. Ancient healing and wisdom traditions have long acknowledged this fact which is also now being recognised by modern science.

Sharing 3 tips to make 2023 magical by bringing the focus into your body, mind and soul. These simple steps have worked for me, and I’m sure they will also work for you.

Though this is simple, it may not be easy at times. I’m a work in progress myself, and when I find any of this challenging, I pick up from where I left off instead of giving it up altogether. Doing this works like magic and helps me navigate through my journey of life and live with intention and purpose.

Wishing whoever is reading this a very happy new year! May your life be filled with health, happiness, peace and purpose! 🤍

It’s Christmas Cake time of the year. This cake

It’s Christmas Cake time of the year. This cake is loaded with rich dry fruits to give you all the nourishment that your body needs for the winter. It’s eggless and there is no need for all the soaking of fruits. It’s great for that occasional indulgence because what’s life without cake? It gives the comfort of the festive season. Swipe to see a slice of the cake.

Find the recipe for this cake on my website. (link in bio)

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! 🤍
