Fasting has been done for ages for various benefit

Fasting has been done for ages for various benefits; political gains, health goals, losing weight and spiritual fasting being some of the end goals.

Fasting has also been a tradition in all the major religions of the world be it Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and others.

Fasting has immense health benefits if done the right way. The ancient Vedic scriptures from where Ayurveda originates recommends fasting for many occasions during the year. One such fasting is the Ekadasi fasting (Ekadasi is the eleventh day after each full moon and the eleventh day after each new moon) done by thousands of people following the Vedic tradition. Ekadasi fasting is done in various ways-complete fasting, fasting with water, fasting with only fruits, fasting with fruits and milk and milk products, fasting with root vegetables that are simply spiced and nuts like peanuts and fasting from grains and beans which means fasting from rice, wheat, beans, corn, peas, dals and spices mixed with flours like asafoetida.

While fasting has immense benefits good for the body and mind, spiritual fasting is for our deepest self or our very core that illumines our bodies.

These cashews that can be made with simple spices is just one of the things that I make on Ekadasi days. This can be enjoyed as a snack or a side on other days as well.

Find the recipe to make masala cashews on my site https://www.divinetaste.com/kaju-masala-cashew-masala/ or google divine taste masala cashew if you want to see the recipe.

And this is what I call post jalebi contentment glow or rather post festive meal glow.

Cooking a festive meal, making an offering and savouring it with joy has always given me the most contentment in life.

And also enjoyed wearing a saree after a long time today!

Happy Dussehra to everyone! May lord Rama remove all evil and bring in all good for one and all!

The pandemic started an era of home delivery syste

The pandemic started an era of home delivery systems with many WhatsApp food groups coming into the fore in all the cities of India. I got messages from 2 such groups with announcements of fresh jalebi that can be delivered for Dussehra tomorrow.

While we do have access to many ready made food delivery systems that can also be a boon at times, we cannot discount the joys of homemade goodies.

Jalebis are easily doable at home and I have a great recipe for this most delectable delicacy. My jalebis are made with natural food colours making them an absolute delight to devour!

Find the recipe for jalebis on my site or google divine taste jalebi for the link https://www.divinetaste.com/homemade-jalebi-jilebi/

या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता
या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना।
या ब्रह्माच्युत शंकरप्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा वन्दिता
सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा॥१॥

Prayer has always been a very powerful and integral part of my life. Be it in the Church adjacent to our school where we were taken as kids, the Haji Ali Dargah in Mumbai where one feels unity in diversity, my temple at home or any of the innumerable temples I visit, I have always loved to connect with a higher source.

Remembering and invoking the blessings of Goddess Saraswati on the 6th day of Navratri today. As children, @seemantinimihir and I were made to recite some mantras before we went to bed at night by the mothership. I fondly remember chanting these mantras with closed eyes and hands folded in prayer before I drifted off to dreamland.

Chickpeas simply spiced with asafoetida, chili and salt in the north or seasoned with mustard seeds, curry leaves, asafoetida, chili and coconut in the south has been an integral part of the temple food culture. They are also filled with all the proteins and nutrients that a human body needs. They taste extra delicious when served in environment friendly leaf cups, another beautiful part of the temple food culture.

This is easy to make and distribute. The right seasoning and appropriate cooking enhances the earthiness of this dish.

I love making this as an offering during special ceremonies and otherwise.

Swipe to see a beautiful picture of mother Saraswati as envisioned by the legendary artist Raja Ravi Varma. Her white saree, pearls, book, Veena and the beautiful and serene atmosphere surrounding Her in this painting transported me to another time.

Old paintings and old dishes are precious when they hold charm and relevance to this day.

Starting the week with one of my favourite breakfasts… homemade Idli with Chutney and Sambar.

I love to dunk Sambar all over my idli and eat it with coconut Chutney.

Have a great week everyone.

For those who want my idli, Chutney and Sambar recipe, visit https://www.divinetaste.com/idli-with-coconut-chutney-and-sambar/ or google divine taste Idli.

Made a quinoa bowl meal today with oven roasted beets, bell peppers and cherry tomatoes and pan roasted paneer.

When the rains stop, I would also be adding some lettuce to this beautiful bowl meal!

It’s been pouring down heavily in Mumbai and aft

It’s been pouring down heavily in Mumbai and after a weekend out, all I needed was some Rasam and rice to start the week.

A nice pot of Rasam is particularly good when the rains are lashing out and the weather is nice and damp outside.

Earlier I used to go all out and make my Rasam in a Eya Chombu, a traditional vessel made of tin that is used to make Rasam. My cousin Raksha @starreyed_soul had very kindly procured this magnificent utensil for me when she was living in Chennai way back in 2005 or 2006. I got to know recently that there are very few artisans left who are making eya chombu now.

Food cooked in tin is good for the gastrointestinal tract and builds strength and immunity as per Ayurveda.

The intrinsic taste of Rasam and other foodstuffs in olden days was always procured from cooking in traditional cookware.

Those of you who know me well, would know about my love for natural cookware. Happy to be sharing one such treasure from my kitchen with you all today!

Im not just draped in a Paithani saree here, but w

Im not just draped in a Paithani saree here, but wrapped in my maternal grandmother’s love and blessings. Ajji had specifically selected this saree for me as a gift during my pregnancy for my seventh month ceremony. I somehow never got to drape this saree before and wore it for the first time yesterday in her honour and memory!

The saree is further accentuated by heirloom pearls that belonged to my mother in law’s grandmother and were some of the things that were passed on to me again during my seventh month ceremony.

I also shot and edited (editing courtesy Hari) a beautiful modak 54 second reel yesterday only to realise that my reels are still at a 30 second limit. Praying to the Instagram gods that they somehow restore my reels to their expanded 60 seconds soon, as I would love to post it without splitting it into two reels.

Hope everyone had a happy Ganesh Chaturthi!

I was overcome by a flood of emotions as I bit int

I was overcome by a flood of emotions as I bit into thambittu, a uniquely shaped Laddu made during the Nag Panchami festival in Karnataka and some parts of Andhra Pradesh. This was very special for me as it was made by Viju Mavshi, Ajji’s younger sister and reached me in one of the mothership’s constant couriers. Every morsel had the taste reminiscent of Ajji’s thmabittus and made me so grateful for having learned it from her.

Śrāvaṇa maas is the fifth month in the Hindu calendar and is considered to be a very holy month. It is dotted by many festivals like Krishna Janmashtami, Balaram Poornima, Rakshabandhan, Nagpanchami and many other celebrations.

Food and traditions are always tied to Indian festivals. In Shravan maas an array of regional delicacies are made tied to the local culture of the region. And such foods are great for the body and the mind as they are nutritious and make us happy!

Although Shravan maas this year is over, the taste of these laddus will linger on as long as I live.

If you want to know more about these unusually shaped nutrient loaded laddus, you can find them on my website www.divinetaste.com https://www.divinetaste.com/thambittu-roasted-gram-jaggery-laddus/ or google divinetaste thambittu to find them.

In Ayurveda there is a lot of emphasis on choosing

In Ayurveda there is a lot of emphasis on choosing intelligent foods that are rich in phytonutrients. Intelligent foods are also charged with prana or positive energy. Sattvic foods like fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts, grains and legumes are rich in prana.

Paying attention to how we feel after eating food also helps us to tap into our inner guidance system that knows what is good for us. This helps is to choose our food intelligently. Certain foods like instant and packaged products may feel good in the moment, but the after effects can be felt in the form of uneasiness, erratic sleep and digestive issues if one pays attention.

After staying away from quinoa for a very long time, I have embraced this seed during my grain free days when I came across locally grown quinoa. The bowl pictured here has red quinoa and a vegetable curry made with cauliflower, carrot, snake gourd and potato. If you want to try the recipe, I have a similar recipe on my website. Google search divine taste cauliflower curry for the recipe.

Monday 🤍 Had my second dose of covid vaccine on

Monday 🤍
Had my second dose of covid vaccine on Friday and the first thought that came@to me after the shot was that I could now travel freely. Travelling from one state to another in India was like travelling from one town to another in the precovid era, but not anymore with changing norms each day!

Coming back to the vaccine, I experienced minimal side effects after the second dose as relayed by fully vaccinated friends and family. I did feel extra sleepy and hungry so weekend was all about much needed R and R.

Looking forward to an exciting week ahead!

Lunch today was udon noodles with lots of vegetables. Infact this was more vegetables than noodles. I used red cabbage, red bell pepper, carrots and oven roasted tofu.

The flavourful yet simple seasoning was made of sesame oil, fresh ginger, chili, fresh coriander (cilantro), a generous sprinkling of pepper, a dash of brown sugar, lemon juice and light soy sauce.

Love veggie loaded uncomplicated meals like this! What about you?

Kaju masala for the win! I love cashews in every form but particularly when they are nicely salted and spiced like this!
