Instagram post 2236558128312658184_7631417315 🍃"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! . . . #indianfoodbloggers #spearmint #mint #kitchengarden #growyourown #growyourownfood #gogreen #climatechange #reuse #recycle #bestfromwaste #dontuseplastic

Instagram post 2226387380952444298_7631417315 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!😆 . . . #dabeli #gujratfood #streetfood #indianstreetfood #kutchidabeli #indianfood #delicious #childhoodfavorite #foodmemories #losangeles #mumbaifood

Instagram post 2216240057488395040_7631417315 🍃☘🍀"This Winter Keep Calm and Eat you Greens"🍃☘🍀 "Sarso da saag" speciality of Northern India and State of Punjab! It's not a food for Royal but royal food of everyday ordinary person. Its called farmers food but relished globally 🍃🍃 Rather it's an emotion first and food later. Winter is all about hearty greens and this is the epitome of how you should eat them all. . . Mustard leaves🍃 being the core ingredient, hence the name Sarso (Mustard) saag (green curry).It's not a very popular dish in my household however I have this profound affinity towards. I was always fascinated how it's made until one of my friend and then room mate showed me how it's done few years ago and since then every winter I was just dream making it. Finally got a chance and I made my very first Sarso ka saag, so this winter is special.😋🍃 . . . Its hearty, its seasonal, its comforting, its rich yet it's so simple. 🍃🍃🌼🌼 It compliments makki di roti (cornmeal bread) but could be devoured with Phulka, chapati, or even Millet bread.(bhakri) . . . I followed recipe given by chef Ranveer Brar and simply relished every single bite. Also they say it tastes even better the next day but my bad I finished it all. . . . Let me know if you like Eating your greens and how? Is Sarso ka Saag in your winter list?🍃🍀☘ Comment down below as I love reading them🤗🍃 . . . #recipe #sarsosaag #sarsodasaag #sarsokasaag #winterfood #leafygreens #mygreens #cookwithrb #makkidiroti #indianeats #heavensgate #winter #onthetable #desi #indianfoodbloggers #food52 #saag #healthyrecipes #seasonalproduce #farmersmarketbuys #lunchideas

Instagram post 2212615995826390022_7631417315 "Pav Bhaji" another Indian fast food delicacy originated in 1850s still ruling the 21st century! Like who knew the lunch dish made for textile mill workers in Mumbai would become such an integral part of Indian street food and Indian restaurants in India and Abroad. . . . It's usually made out of seasonal vegetables and "potatoes" with some amazing indian spices, however what is so special if we dont add some twist to the recipe to take it to next level! . . Disclaimer - I love my traditional pav bhaji and can't compromise on taste at all so adding sweet potatoes instead of potatoes was bit risky, but now wondering why I never tried this before!!!! . . . Trust me you guys, it didn't ruin the taste of pav bhaji, added some natural red/orange hue (even before adding spices) and it did not bloat my stomach after eating it ( which usually happens with potatoes ) Also made this one in instant pot, will talk more about it soon so stay tuned... . . . Right proportion and balanced with right amount of right spices, sweet potatoes make the best substitute and you can eat without any guilt! . . . #pavbhaji #streetfood #mumbaifood #instantpotrecipes #instantpot #instantpotindiancooking #instantpotpavbhaji #sweetpotato #healthyfood #healthyfastfood #fastfood #mymumbai #trellfood #streetfoodindia #foodindia #foodofindia #mumbaifoodie #mumbaifoodicious #mumbaifoodlovers #eatathome #punefoodie
