Quinoa to my rescue! You guys HAVE to give this super grain a shot and know what I am talking about. I have praised this wonder food enough in my previous blog post here. It looks like Bajra( Pigeon food) - for reference. It doesn't have a taste of its own and you can use it as a fantastic substitute for White rice, Dalia, Khichdi. It is also used a lot as Breakfast food with milk, which I posted last...
If you guys noticed ( you should have) I steered clear from making any non vegetarian choices all of this month on #winnerdinner. I do understand a lot of people are vegetarians and I too wanted to push my boundaries and stick to simple stuff. Which by the way, doesn't mean I did not eat non veg, I did almost everyday but not for dinner (except review days) and I am super proud of starting something and sticking to it...
Yes I know June is over and I am still on day 26 here. Let's not fret about it and be glad a post is up here because I am well sleepy, hot ( not in a hot kind of way, sweaty basically) and just not in a mood to do anything. You know the kind of days when every little thing inside you has bundled up and a volcano is about to explode, but you don't have anyone to...
My friends from college can assure you of one thing, that I have always been a Broccoli chor. I remember we used to order white sauce Pasta everyday, yes everyday and I used to eat all the Broccoli, leave the pasta and sit back enjoying my iced tea. This happened all day everyday. Why did I share this story with you guys. Well because all my food comes with a story. There is a reason to why a plate looks...
If you are from North India, then this type pf Poha/Chidva might look very weird new to you. We usually have our Poha with lots of veggies and colour. And this is the kind of Poha I used to get while I lived in Mumbai. This looks very plain and has nothing except very little onion, peanuts and is loaded with sev. So while it has been raining and makes me miss Mumbai, I planned to have this yummy breakfast...
You know what makes me happy? Colour ( and proposals, letters, movies , tidy closet, laughter, roads etc) but let's focus on one thing at a time and talk about Colors. I have this secret diary/diaries with secret stuff. So one of the things there is Colors. I have columns with all the names of the colors known to mankind and then I write how many type of stuff I have in that particular color. Crazy? Might be, but...
You know awesome? Well, I have tasted it and its beyond what my palette can put into words. This Black Rice Pulao is love and super yummy ans how gorgeous does it look. I can talk about the beauty of food for hours so let's not get into that zone right now. As I did make simple kind of Black rice in my #winnerdinner here, I wanted to give it my own twist which was easy and tastes even better....
Finally getting back on track! As i type this, I am getting ready for a work lunch followed by dinner again today. Hahaaa. #SOML But I shall be good and smother you guys with all healthy meal options till #winnerdinner completes a month. And guys, no matter what home food is the best. It looks, tastes so much better and I will always prefer eating at home if you ask me now. I am a kind of person who would...
