👉Don't Eat less, eat right! 🍃 And for eatin 👉Don't Eat less, eat right! 🍃 And for eating right, you need to Put some time, efforts and creativity in planning and prepping your meals! Its surely is intimidating at first and you may get overwhelmed with amount of resources available on the internet/books etc! But let me assure you. its not a rocket science, its definitely easy and doable! so take a sigh! . . Few hours prepping over the weekend can save you hours during the busy week. Not to mention you will still be eating homecooked cozy meals over ordering a take out and regretting later! So let's kick start with BASICS / 101 of Meal prepping 👉Step 1: Plan your Recipes 🔸️Choosing the recipes is fun part of the entire process. To do this efficiently- 🔸️Anticipate: Your days, what you may crave, check the weather, check the calendar if there are any special occasions during the week. 🔸️Analyze: Your nutrition requirements if you follow any particular lifestyle, Quantities required, What last long, again weather plays key role. So make a list of recipes for the respective meals. 👉Step 2: Make a shopping list/Analyze your Pantry | Fridge 🔸️ Before making the list, you gotto check your pantry thoroughly. It often happens that we have something in pantry that is lost somewhere in the back and we buy that product again. Avoid that. Make sure you check the dates, plan to use the stuff going bad soon first. 🔸️Jot down what is needed, also quantities needed, weather you want that organic or regular. 🔸️Same goes for fridge, try and waste as little to nothing. 👉Step 3: Go Shopping 🔸️Now go shopping can be misleading, indulging and overwhelming. So stick to the LIST. Definitely try to keep the focus. 🔸️Always go to grocery with full stomach to avoid any snaccidents purchases 🔸️Wear your mask and carry reusable bags/jars etc Step 4: Meal Prep 🔸️Now comes the day! Most people find Sunday as convenient, but you decide your day! 🔸️ Decide the sequence of cooking,boiling, chopping, drying etc. 🔸️Put on that apron.

I dont know if the world needs any more banana bre I dont know if the world needs any more banana bread recipe but I am finally sharing mine ! it took me soooo long to put this out there. The main reason I never shared it before (although regularly made it) is I always experimented the batter. it was never one consistent method and hence I never had one single recipe.😉🙆‍♀️💁‍♀️ . . . Not a baker but love experimenting. Do you like that too? mixing different ingredients and tossing them in oven just to see what happens 😋 is so much fun .. sometimes you end up with perfect piece of cake and sometimes gets surprised and shocked at the disaster 😳 But in the end its all good you learn something. . . . so coming back to this delicious banana bread 🍞 I made last to last week. again there was small experiment but that ingredient is optional so let's get baking. Dry Ingredients 1.5 Cups of APF (All purpos4 flour) 1/2 cup Almond flour (Make 2 cups of APF if dont have it. 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 cup cacoa powder 1 tbsp instant Coffee (Optional) Wet Ingredients: 2 Large very ripe bananas 2 large eggs 2 tsp vanilla extract 1.5 cup of date puree 1/2 cup Avocado oil ------ handful of toasted walnuts roughly chopped . . . Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 Deg Fahrenheit. 2. Take a 9 inch rectangle baking pan and spray it with cooking spray. Insert parchment paper. Keep aside. 3. In a medium bowl add all bananas and mash until smooth, then add remaining wet ingredients one by one and whisk until well combined. 4. Now in a small bowl mix all dry ingredients or directly sift them one by one in wet ingredients. This will save you some dishes to clean later. 5. Now mix everything together just until all the flour is covered with wet ingredients. DO NOT OVER MIX. Takes around 8-10 fold and cut rounds. 6. Now add roughly chopped walnuts. and mix one last time 7. Pour the Mixture in the baking pan and tap few times and level the top with spatula. 8. Add some more walnuts on top. 9. Bake for 55-60 mins. Check after 45 mins and then decide the doneness Inserting a tooth pick. 10. Take out. Let it cool on cooling rack. Slice into the beauty and relish it with some coffee, beverage of your choice or on it own!

Whats that ONE dessert that you would love to eat Whats that ONE dessert that you would love to eat again and again and again ?❓❓❓❓ For me its Shrikhand 😍♥️ Absolute favorite no matter what the occasion is. I also love it because its so easy to make at home without any mess! Perfect make ahead dessert for any occasion no matter how long is the guest list!😍💃 . . . I have full recipe on the blog ..Link in the Bio ♥️ however I wanted to share this version where I used 5% Reduced milk fat Greek yogurt! usually I prefer whole milk or Malai Yogurt but I didn't get any of it and then recalled what Niketa @nikfoodamour told me few days ago. She recommended use 5% Fage total yogurt and I couldn't be happier with the results. I kept the recipe same just swapped the malai yogurt with this one and the texture wasn't ruined at all. it was not runny or sour. So if you are counting on those calories and still wanna make Shrikhand try this. Thanks Niketa for this recommendation ♥️ . . . Leave me a comment what is your fave flavor of Shrikhand? Mango or Kesar pista? Can you guess mine too?😋😆😝 . . . #indianfestival #shrikhand #shrikhandrecipe #homemadeishappiness #indiandessert #indiansweets #festivefood #festivemeal #yummyintummy #easyindianrecipes #easydesserts #homemade #homecooking #myfoodblog #indianrecipes #indianfoodlovers #fagetotal #greekyogurt #mealprep #maharashtrianfood #maharashtra_igers #curyleafrecipes #cookwithcuryleaf #sweettreat ##makeaheaddessert #nocookrecipe #tasteofindia #yogurtparfait #hungcurd #nocookdessert
MUSHROOM-TOFU RED THAI CURRY 🍛 😋 . . . For MUSHROOM-TOFU RED THAI CURRY 🍛 😋 . . . For me Thai cuisine falls in top 3 cuisines I love ♥️ afterall it has got all the amazing flavors and textures its spicy its creamy its versatile and its healthy-ish is you make the paste at home and add ton of veggies. I usually use my own thai curry paste but sometimes even I rely on store bought. Whatever works best for you. If you wanna take it to next level we'll I have some delicious options for you. . . . Adding sauted Shiitake Mushrooms and pan fried tofu was best decision ever 😋 The detail recipe is in Story Highlights. 🍄For Mushrooms: Heat the Cast iron skillet on Medium, Add oil, add mushrooms and let it cook for 5-6 mins. Add salt and pepper cook for another 2 mins on medium heat. Add Splash of water and cover the skillet for 1 min or so. This will cook through the mushrooms. 🌟For Tofu: Take out of the packaging, cover it with paper towels and place it on a cooking rack, keep anything heavy on top like books or cast iron pan for 30 mins or until all the excess water drains out. Once water is drained out, cut the tofu in cubes Heat a pan on medium low, add 1 tsp oil. Add tofu and let it fry on one side for 3 min then flip and cook for another 3 min on the other side. Keep close eye as tofu is delicate and can stick to pan. . . . Highly recommend adding these two thai curry.
