Rainbow Bowl

It’s not possible, or agreeable, to delve into any interaction, virtual or (ah, if only) physical, without inquiring about the mental health of the other person. These times are trying for all, albeit in different ways, but trying nonetheless. I am extremely grateful for all the luxuries that we have, that all our loved ones are in good health, and that we have access to nature’s bounty. With that in mind, making simple cold summer food with what’s in the kitchen is a no-brainer. The key is having a dynamite dressing to tie in the vegetables, and add a carb or card replacement (like I did, with my black bean noodles)

Eating plant based and eating fresh are something that will always be a sustainable and sensible option for your body, to boost your immunity and to provide you with the nutrition and strength you need, to fight against these trying times, medically and emotionally.  Read more…

Vegetable and Sweet Potato Dim Sum/Wontons

With COVID-19 taking over the mind space of a lot of us, the social distancing protocol, especially for us in a densely infested metropolis like Bombay, has become paramount to our physical health (I will need hours of emotional assistance after spending all my waking hours in the confines of our home, at the mercy of my infant and toddler). Devising (and getting them to voluntarily participate in) games, activities, and constructive play has always been something I’ve very happily passed on to the experts. But Sitara and I do love to bake together, and she’s now partaking in the cooking as well. Right before #flattenthecurve went mainstream, we enjoyed a yum cha feast, and ever since then the concept of dim sum (or maybe she just likes the way it sounds?!) has fascinated her and one confinement day, we decided to make dim sums using whatever was on hand, i.e. Read more…

AirFried Vegetable Spring Rolls

My love for Thai food is something that can never be satiated, or so I’d like to believe. About a decade ago, my parents and I had a week long vacation there, with a few days at the beach and the rest in the bustling capital. What was clear from this vacation was that my mum and me gluttonously attacked Thai food at every meal (ok fine, barring breakfast, although even at breakfast our plates were filled with mangosteen) so much so that after 4 days, my dad actually ordered a sandwich from room service before we went for another Thai meal, because clearly, he had reached the brink.

Not for me. Every city I visit, always has me looking for at least one Thai pit stop. In Delhi, it’s always Ego Thai, a classic non fussy joint, packed with loads of comfort food. Even when we were in Croatia, we managed to find Pearl of Siam, which coupled with my desire to eat spice and flavour (the vegetarian food in the more touristy parts of Croatia were unimaginative) went so out of control, made us return there two nights in a row! In London,  Read more…

 I have a thorough decade old weakness towards Thai food. If I had to choose one cuisine I had to eat every day for the rest of my life, Thai would be right up there. There is something insanely gratifying and comforting about the clean yet complex dishes, bursting with flavour, yet not feeling as […] Read more…
