That Au Revoir Vegetarian Meal For My Parents - Done We were leaving for Pune & since Chatt Pooja is approaching, my parents' cook @wakilmukhia was going to drive back with us to spend the festival with his family. Even though there was enough food in the fridge to tide them over the next couple days, I made this meal for them just as a back up Clockwise : 1. That Rustic Cabbage & Potato/Bandhgobi Aloo I tempered seasoned mustard oil with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chillies, asafoetida, garlic slivers & onions. I added in diced potatoes, salt, a touch of sugar, fresh coriander, coriander powder, kashmiri red chilli powder & cooked till done. I added in finely shredded cabbage & diced tomatoes & tossed till cooked but still crunchy 2. That Super Flavourful Milijhuli Dal I pressure cooked equal quantity of skinless split pink lentils /masoor dhuli & skinless split mungbeans in salted water along with asafoetida & turmeric powder. Once done I churned & left to simmer with fresh coriander I tempered ghee with smashed cloves of garlic (skin on) & once brown I added cumin seeds, curry leaves, green chillies, asafoetida, & onions. Once brown I added coriander powder, turmeric powder, that foofoo kanda lehsun masala from my home State - Maharashtra, fresh coriander & tomatoes. Once pulpy I added into the simmering lentils along with a generous squeeze of our farm's lime 3. That Freshly Steamed Basmati Rice 4. Those Farm Cucumbers & Lime 5. That Chilled Farm Guava With a generous sprinkle of salt & red chilli powder Simple meal but I knew my parents would relish it. Nothing beats cooking with farm fresh veggies. Just unbelievable flavour. I'm truly missing my parents, the farm & cooking there & cant wait to go back. Have you had the opportunity to eat farm to table? . . . . #farmtotable #growersofinstagram #growyourveggies #cabbagepatch #fullmeals #punjabifood #indiancurry #teampixel @googlepixel #chowhound @chowhound #30minutemeals #quickmeals #kaftanseries #cookfromtheheart #garlic #heartymeals #loveyourparents #eatrealfood #zingyzest #foodtalkindia #greenchillies #redchillies #gasstove #farmlifestyle #guava #groworganicproduce #dal #gharkakhana (at Dolkhamb) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHu_SPHAsQf/?igshid=1q89lhtdxh5od

That Tudkewaali Milijhuli Dal/Tempered Mixed Lentils We had leftover skinless split pigeon peas /tuvar dal & skinless split pink lentils/masoor dhuli. I put them both into the blender & blitzed.

That Diwali Bhog On The Farm - Done My parents @neelam.diddee, @ravindradiddee, @beingbengt & I decided to spend Diwali on the farm. If you've been watching my stories, you'll see all the awesome produce there is. Along with @wakilmukhia we jointly made this Bhog for Lord Ganesh & Maa Lakshmi today 1. That Foofoo Malvani Paneer I tempered ghee with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chillies, garlic & onions. I then added coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, & cooked tomatoes till pulpy. I added a foofoo spice mix from the Malvan region of India, fresh coriander & added in hot milk & simmered till it thickened. I added in paneer cubes, lime juice & simmered till done 2. Those Mixed Farm Veggies I tempered seasoned mustard oil with dalle chillies, asafoetida, coriander stems, smashed whole garlic cloves(skin on) & onions. Once brown I added salt, coriander powder, turmeric powder & cooked potatoes in this till half done. I then added in eggplants, cauliflower, tomatoes & more fresh coriander & covered & cooked on a low flame till done 3. That Rassewalla Aloo Recipe in comments because of lack of space in caption 4. That Naralachi Aamti/Coconut Lentils Recipe in comments because of lack of space in caption 5. That Khamang Kakdi/Cucumber Salad Recipe in comments because of lack of space in caption 6. That Freshly Steamed Basmati Rice 7. Those Whole Wheat Trikona Puris I rolled out whole wheat dough into the size of a chapati. I cut into four & deep fried in hot oil 8. That Chawal Ki Kheer/Rice Pudding I boiled milk & added in rice & boiled till it cooked through. I added in sugar, green cardamom powder & allowed to thicken a bit. Finished by topping with vark & slithered almonds 9. Those Store Bought Sweets For Bhog I was so nervous offering this to the Gods simply because I couldn't taste for salt & flavour balance before offering it to Them. But when we tasted afterwards, everything was in perfect balance. I guess what they say is true - food made with love can never ever go wrong. Do you agree? HAPPY DIWALI TO ALL CELEBRATING FROM OURS TO YOURS 🙏 (at Dolkhamb) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHkx469g9CJ/?igshid=1tdqd77mxsgvy

That Stuffed Idli Chutney Breakfast For My Building's Security Guards - Done Again. SO many requests for this😱 I had asked for suggestions for a good idli/dhokla steamer. Whilst the majority suggestions were for @ttkprestige (I will not buy from this brand ever again as they do not follow through with after sales) @pigeonkitchenappliances & @hellotocello (btw this is a brand I adore) I finally went with a suggestion made by @ambikanikki & @mona.punjabi17 & bought Kavitha brand only because it seemed to have the deepest idli moulds I pressure cooked potatoes in salted water. Drained & mashed I tempered oil with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chillies, ginger-garlic pastes, asafoetida, pre-soaked channa dal & onions. Once they softened I added turmeric powder, fresh coriander, a touch of sugar & mixed in the mashed potatoes. Cooled & portioned into flat discs I poured a little @idfreshfood idli batter into oiled moulds. I placed a potato disc into each mould & topped with more idli batter. Steamed till done Served with a foofoo coriander-coconut chutney with ginger tea Whilst the breakfast turned out really yummy, Unfortunately the steel plates warped after first use & the lid wouldn't fit. So I had to return it. The quest for a deep idli mould is still very much on. Now I'm dreaming of this yummy breakfast. Wouldn't you? . . . #idlife #southindianfood #stuffed #foodloversindia #indiansnacks #indianstreetfood #foodofmaharashtra #yummysnacks #foodgrammer #buzzfeedtasty #tastyrecipe #masala #eatingforthegram #eatdelicious #foodfirst #chowhound @chowhound #chutney #indianrecipe #bombayfood #childhoodfood #foodtalkindia #mashedpotatoes #gharkakhana #hotandspicy #mumbaiuntold #itz_mumbai #veggiefood #sodelhicious #indianbreakfast #indianchef (at One North) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHQEnCpA7ba/?igshid=14y6eh36otss5

That Country Proud Meal For Alessandro - Done We have an Italian neighbour whom @beingbengt has been friends with. I met him for the first time a couple of days ago because he's leaving our complex & offered his plants to us. We felt the least we could do was to invite him for a meal. I'm very country proud. And I feel that one of the best ways to showcase our great Nation is through it's huge variety of food. I made my signature North, South, East West Indian Thali for Allesandro yesterday - but with clear partiality to my home State - Maharashtra Clockwise : 1. That Freshly Steamed Basmati Rice 2. That North India Inspired Kadhai Paneer Recipe in comments because of lack of space in caption 3. That South India Inspired Pepper Chicken & Potatoes Recipe in comments because of lack of space in caption 4. That West India Inspired Prawn Curry Recipe in comments because of lack of space in caption 5. That West India Inspired Naralachi Aamti/Coconut Dal Recipe in comments because of lack of space in caption 6. That West India Inspired Salad - Khamang Kakdi/Cucumber Salad I lightly crushed together chopped cucumbers, crushed salted peanuts, fresh coriander, green chillies, freshly scraped coconut, a touch of sugar and lime juice 7. Those Whole Wheat Parathas 8. That Ever Present Lime 9. That East India Inspired Homemade Rasmalai I mashed malai paneer till smooth & then rolled into medium sized spheres I heated sugar & 4 times the amount of water & dropped the spheres in it & boiled till they doubled in size. I removed them from the sugar syrup & dropped into plain water - if they sink, they're done I boiled milk in a heavy bottomed pan till it evaporated a bit. I added sugar & continued to boil till it evaporated to half quantity & was thick. I added in saffron infused milk, green cardamom powder & almond slivers I squeezed the paneer spheres & dropped into the thickened milk. I chilled & served I could see sheer unabated joy on Allesandro's face as he sampled & then took generous seconds of each dish & happily took back doggy bags of each & every dish. Best compliment ever. Don't you think? (at One North) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHF0tOoAyDA/?igshid=1ik4mbfkm65ze

That Foofoo Egg Bhurji For My Building's Security Guards Breakfast - Done 😱SO many of you messaged me for this recipe. I'm thinking I need to start another insta feed only for these breakfasts 🤣 This is not a traditional anda bhurjee/scrambled eggs. It's my version of it & it tastes amazing. I tempered oil with green chillies, garlic & onions & cooked till the rawness left. I added in turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder & that onion-garlic spice mix(kanda lassun masala) that's from my home State - Maharashtra. I added tomatoes, salt & once pulpy I added a mixture of beaten eggs & fresh coriander & kept stirring & scraping the sides of the pan, making sure the eggs didn't stick & were done Served with hot buttered toasts & tea. I like adding kanda-lassun masala to eggs because I just can't stand the smell of eggs & this masala not only masks that smell but also adds a fabulous punch to this dish. How do you like your bhurji? . . . . #scrambledeggs #bhurjee #maharashtrianfood #indianchef #eatreal #eatdelicious #homecookfood #eggsforbreakfast #eggsontoast #showmeyoureggs @showmeyoureggs #comfortfood #payitforward #peopleofindia #wethepeople #foodtalkindia #foodloversindia #teampixel @googlepixel #heartybreakfast #mumbaifoodie #puneri #foodofmaharashtra #yummysnacks #indiansnacks #indianstreetfood #greenchillies #redchillies #eatingforthegram #foodgrammers #masala #anda (at One North) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHAmkb0g1oI/?igshid=6e37jo5we8pw

That Mangalorean Style Doodhi Curry - Done My papa @ravindradiddee 's assistant Mary, is a Mangalorean Catholic. Often when we were kids, she doubled up as my brother @sammelier949 & my baby sitter. Sometimes she'd sleep over at our house & often we'd go to hers for a sleepover. Whilst everyone in my family will remember all the yummy non-veg food in her house was, funnily a the dish that I remember loving the most was this Doodhi/bottle gourd curry that Mary's now Late mother - Marceline D'Souza used to make. Marceline aunty was the kindest, gentest, most loving soul & today whilst making this dish with a few twists of my own, it brought back so many fun childhood memories of us & Mary's entire family In very little coconut oil I fried coriander seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal/skinless split black gram, channa dal, sesame seeds, dried red chillies & salt I cooled & ground to a fine paste along with tamarind pulp & water I tempered coconut oil with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chillies, dried red chillies, asafoetida & shallots. I added bottle gourd, turmeric powder & fried for a few minutes. I then added water, covered & cooked till almost done. I then added the fine paste, coconut milk, a touch of jaggery, dried fenugreek leaves /kasuri methi, fresh coriander & simmered till done Oh my I was transported to those days when Marceline aunty used to hand feed me morsels of this delicious curry with rice. Such beautiful memories attached to food are just the best. Don't you agree? (at One North) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG-DbRvAgH2/?igshid=p50dbnz1z0e0

That Masala Pav Breakfast For My Building's Security Guards - Done As promised to literally 100s of DMs, I'm sharing this recipe here instead of replying individually. This is a recipe I created drawing inspiration from the very popular Sindhi snack - seyal double. This isn't authentic - like most of my food. So all purists - please look away now. I ground onions, tomatoes, garlic, green chillies, salt, & fresh coriander into a coarse chutney I tempered seasoned mustard oil with cumin seeds, chopped curry leaves, asafoetida, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder & the coarse chutney. Covered & cooked till the rawness left I sliced the pavs, slathered them generously with the cooked chutney & pan fried them in a mix of seasoned mustard oil & salted butter till crisp We ate these too & served these to the guards along with ginger tea I'm getting so many messages thanking me for being kind. Whilst I appreciate all the blessings & kind words, I do hope it inspires you to pay it forward & be kind to those less fortunate than you Before she passed away @carolineflack very wisely said "In a world where you can be anything, be kind" Don't you agree?

That Foofoo Shevachi Bhaji Breakfast For My Building's Security Guards - Done I'm getting so many requests for these morning breakfasts!! So for a few days I'm going to be posting breakfast posts that you'll have requested recipes for. This is one dish that I've realised people either love or hate. There are no in-betweens I dry roasted khobra/dry coconut till it turned golden brown & aromatic I fried pieces of ginger, garlic cloves & onions till they turned golden brown I ground the onions & coconut mixture into a smooth paste along with fresh coriander I tempered oil with mustard seeds, curry leaves, slit green chillies, the smooth paste, Maharashtrian Kala masala (you can add goda or garam masala), turmeric powder, red chilli powder & salt till it turned aromatic. I added tamarind pulp, a touch of sugar & boiling hot water (this is imperative to achieve that glistening layer of oil that is required for this recipe) & simmered till done. I added in store bought spicy & mild shev & mixed well (most people don't add the shev till just before serving - I prefer to add the shev whilst the gravy is hot so that the flavours blend) I served topped with fresh coriander, lime along with pav (didn't have the flour to make the traditional bhakri) & tea It was so endearing when the security guard came to give the plates back - he said thank you madam I never eat this because I have never liked the ones I have eaten before. But you made it so we'll that I look forward to eating it again 😁 Just made my day! Don't you just love it when you manage to convert someone's food preferences?

That Hearty West Meets South Meets North Indian Pure Vegetarian Meal - Done I was sending food to the seniors in my area & over time I've understood their food preferences. Usually I cook separately according to their medical dietary needs.

Those Foofoo Ghaati Beans Aloo/Potatoes I tempered oil with mustard seeds, curry leaves, asafoetida, green chillies & onions. I added coriander powder & that crazy Foofoo ghaati masala that you can buy at the food stop on the Mumbai Pune expressway. I added tomatoes, salt & once pulpy, I cooked beans & potatoes in this till done & finished with tamarind pulp & fresh coriander 2. That @thegutlessfoodie Style Tendli Sundal I tempered coconut oil with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chillies, asafoetida, garlic & onions. Once cooked I added a touch of cumin powder, red chilli powder, salt & cooked tendli in this till half done. I added fresh coriander, tamarind pulp & freshly scraped coconut & tossed till done 3. That Much Loved @thegutlessfoodie Style Kadhai Paneer I charred onions & green capsicum & set aside I tempered ghee with whole garam masala & once it sputtered I added red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt & fried for a minute. I added tomato puree, dried fenugreek leaves /kasuri methi & cooked till the rawness left. I added in milk, mixed really well & simmered on the lowest flame till the milk thickened up. I added in the charred onions, capsicums & paneer & simmered till done 4. Those Whole Wheat Parathas 5. That Hearty @thegutlessfoodie Signature Salad Onions & Lime I'm telling you the smiles on their faces when they ate these dishes just made my day. So heartwarming. No?
