🥬🍔Lettuce burgers are real! 😋😋🍃🍃
.
.
.
Burgers are extremely selective topic to me. I cant eat any burger 😋 specially not a big fan of Chicken or Fake meat burger, sorry no offense!😆
.
.
.
Since childhood I somehow been inclined towards eating veggie burger! So when it comes to making Home made burgers, it gets really creative task and not to mention tasty and healthy too!😀😋
.
.
.
Who agrees ? Home made burgers are the BEST!😀😋🍔🍔🍔🍔
.
.
.
Today made these from my own blog post I wrote couple years ago! Quinoa + Paneer lettuce burgers!
Quinoa being one of my favorite ingredients to experiment with, you give it flavour and it absorbs it! So easy!
Panner being good source of protein and of ofcourse easy to get those textures with😋
.
.
.
I skipped on using buns coz simply didn't have any on hand and dont wanna step out just for that! This is how you make stay home and social distancing work with what you have in your fridge and Pantry😊 Right?
.

Wow what a Morning! I know many of you will agree that social distancing is a way for introspection, hold on pause a bit from our busssy schedules and do something simple yet so fulfilling! It's not dramatic but indeed making us do something which we have never tried before! 🍃🍃🍃
.
.
.
Well well me and my cousin @saylee_nimbalkar often do a video chat but never tried video cooking before! We thought why not now! It couldn't have been better! Sunday morning perfectly started with making this simple yet delicious egg biryani by @ministry_of_curry instant pot recipe!🍃🍃
.
.
.
It's so soothing to connect with your loved ones but what's even more delightful is cooking with your loved ones! As I always say food create memories and this for sure will be remembered as a beautiful memory 😊🍃

I am sure your binge watchlist is ready! 👀Also for those of you who are WFH dont have enough time during the day due to 10 long items on daily agenda and probably meal prepping in advance! Which to me is one of the brightest side of this crises, now everyone is meal prepping and eating as much as home cooked meals as possible!🍃🍃🍃
.
.
.
But what about those snacks times? Well I got you covered, a bowl of freshly made guacamole and sweet potato chips can never go wrong! Agree?
It takes hardly 5 mins to mix everything together and devoure while you still working on that long meeting! 😆🍃🍃🍃
.
.
I got these sweet potato chips from @traderjoes and they are my most favorite!🍃😋😋
.
.
.
Let me know what are you snacking on these days?🤔😊🍃🍃🍃
.
.
.
Until next time, Stay positive and Stay healthy and not to mention Stay Indoor!

My Favorite kind of Bouquet! If you ever wanna gift me something, get me this and we can be friends forever!😋😆🍃🍃
.
.
.
Couple months ago I have to visit this friend whom I was meeting after years and I was wondering what should I take for her!!🤔 and suddenly I realized why not something I am obsessed with and something that makes me smile! 😊 Still hesitant I took her Bouquet of Live Basil ( SWIPE ➡️) and guess what she loved it! I didnt know she was obsessed too!😋🍃🍃🍃🍃
.
.
.
These tiny things can make you real happy! No doubt they are much less on your pocket and lot more useful in your kitchen!
.
.
.
Herbs like Basil, spearmint are my favorites! What's your favorite thing to give and receive?😋🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃
.
.
.
Here is recent harvest of spearmint from my kitchen garden! I love to store it in water, stays much longer and fresh🍃🍃😋

You know Spring is approaching - when sun is shining little extra, so soothing after the cold windy Winter! When nature is playing Holi (aka colorful festival of India) and you see nothing but blooming neighborhoods and streets! Every season surprises me but spring vibes tops every list!
Its beautiful, its colorful, its hopeful and something we should be grateful about!
.
.
.
Today being the International women's Day, I virtually hug each and every incredible women out here and not here! We need to motivate, support and empathize more with each other! Just remember, somewhere someone is getting inspired by you every single day!
.
.
.
On the plate is a major throwback! Its mung beans falafel platter! Not Only it was an experiment inspired by my Mom made mung beans dosa (indian savory crepes) it was an attempt to put as many colors on plate as possible 🍋🍒🥑😊🍃🌶🍅🍎🥭🥬
.

What is your spring Story? Let me know in the comments 🍇🍒🍓🍐🥬🥑

🍃"Spearmint", not just pretty looking herb but extremely delicious! But well today's post is less about spearmint and more about reusing, recycling, being vocal about all these and spreading as much awareness as you can!
In a nutshell it's all about using less plastic and try and reduce your carbon footprints!🌍🍃
.
.
.
Well I learnt my first lesson of not using plastic was from my Mother several years ago! She used to and still carry a cloth bag whenever she is out for shopping grocery, daily needs etc. I totally understand and consider the fact that going 100% plastic free is difficult task in this day and age, I cant do that either,I agree but trying a much as possible is what everyone can attempt at!🍃🍃🍃🍃
.
.
.
Well this is one of my tiny attempt of not having to use plastic bag and growing your own! This spearmint is from my kitchen garden and I can't resist but share with you all! I made mint cilantro chutney with this for the chat I made couple days ago! Oh so delicious!😋👌
Also this is my entry to #letsgogreencontest by 2 talented ladies @zanzaneet and @dr.nimrata and also which sponsored by @the.wheat.straw and @plantersportico 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃
.
.
.
I am loving this initiative and how much people are supporting it! Its definitely a chance to make an attempt, give it a try! 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃
Also comment down below what you are attempting and going to attempt for your share of contribution?🙂🖐 May be I can try some of your ideas too!

Leftovers makes best lunch! Agree?🍃
.
.
.
Well If it's this good looking and lip smackingly delicious, definitely it does.😋👌
"Dabeli" - Born and Originated in Kutch, Gujrat and slowly made its impact all of Western and Northern and some Southern regions of India. It is simple concept of pressing (literal meaning of Dabeli)potato mix in between the buns and layering it with some chutneys, Pomegranate seeds and roasted peanuts are added for crunch.🥯
.
.
I have small anecdote from my childhood on how I stumbled upon this delicious street food. There used to small street side stall near my school, the guy used to serve extremely delicious, hot Dabeli 😋 and it was 3 INR for one. It was a lot of money for 6th grade student then. I used to save some money from my🚃 bus tariff everyday and go there and buy Dabeli. It was one of my Favorite thing to do after school. I didnt need company, friends were welcome however I was ok going there alone and eating it. Well I miss those days...I tried Dabeli at lot of other places, but nothing like that one.👌
.
.
.
I made pave bhaji the other day, (check my pav bhaji post for more reading on pav bhaji) and some bhaji was left, I added some dabeli masala to it,reheated it, layered the buns with some red chutney,bhaji, pomegranate seeds, Shev, and roasted chickpeas (didnt had peanuts on hands) and viola ! It was ready to be devoured. I LOVE making Dabeli from a leftover Pav Bhaji 😋😋🍃🍃
.
.
I would suggest add green chutney if you have and eat it hot. 🍃👌
.
.
Do you like Dabeli ? What food you Njoyed after school? Dont tell me you haven't done that!😆

Happy Makar Sankrant | Lohri | Pongal | Bihu!🌼
.

Many Names one Feeling, One name - INDIA!
That's how we celebrate our diversity.🌼🌼🌼
.
.

Ideally we Maharashtrians make Tilgul (sesame seeds, jaggery mix) or tilachi wadi(seasame crips) Importance being seasame seeds keeps your body warm during peak winters. It's a festival of celebrating the harvest, celebrating the seasonal produce. 🍃🍃🍃🍃
I love how every Indian festival were created around simple thoughts of sharing joy and good food.🌼🌼🌼
.
.

Happy Bhogi! This day Mark's the importance of harvesting season, seasonal produce and that joy of sharing joy with one another through food!🥬🍃🍃🍅🥕🥒🥦🍋
.
.
.
Every Indian festival rather every festival in the world is connected to particular food specially made to the celebrate the day! Like once such delicacy is Bhogi chi Bhaji AKA mix veggies curry🍃🍃🍃
Now every household in India have their own recipe and way of making this curry. It's usually any mix veggies you get in season with some indian spices, groundnut powder etc.
.
.
I kept it simple though, and made this Gajar matter ki sabji AKA carrot peas curry. It's simple quick and delicious.🍃🍃🍃
.
.
Its seasonal and fun way of celebrating the festival. Let me know what is your Bhogi recipe?
