Re:store Macrobiotic-educated, food-architect Nandi Shah brings you conscious, gourmet food choices. Indulge your sinful side without the toxins!

After completing her education in Macrobiotics at the renowned Kushi Institute in Becket MA, Nandi Shah gained a new perspective to her idea of nourishment. Macrobiotics, a healthy dietary regimen focussing on healing through healthy foods, places great emphasis on the yin and yang energy balance. Nandi was now equipped with the skills needed to bridge the gap between her pestering sweet tooth and

the concpet of a balanced, healthy body. She began experimenting with numerous flavours and flours and soon found herself yearning to share her foods with the world. Re:store is therefore a unique concept as it culiminates Nandi's scientific knowledge of food-energy balance and her passion for luscious flavours and home-baking. More importantly, Re:store stems from Nandi's deep desire to heal others, through the means of food. Re:store offers naturally-flavoured, artisinal baked goods and hearty salad meals using the finest ingredients, most of which are organic and locally sourced and some from around the world. Baked goods use as little sugar as possible and are naturally-sweetened whenever possible.

Back in the day, a chaat party was such a novelty in Chennai. Today, chaat kiosks are everywhere in the city, and many of them ubiquitously serve pani puri. I still love serving it at home, however, and it remains the perfect party snack. I’ve just shared the recipe on my blog now. I hope you’ll try it out!

The delicious Guava is something I have always enjoyed in various forms, and is linked to special childhood memories of climbing neighbourhood trees and plucking the fruit – eating it fresh. Having grown up in Chennai and having seen the abundant growth of the tree right here in the city, it occurred to me that there had to be regional dishes. I learnt about the guava chutney. Preparing it had been on my mind for some time, and then a beautiful coincidence occurred. I’m so glad to be able to share both the recipe and the story today.

It’s monsoon time here in India, at least where I live in the South. This is the season when something to warm your heart and soul is needed. Many people reach for fried goodies at this time, and watching the rain with a hot cup of tea and some pakoda is a classic activity. There’s nothing that a bowl of soup can’t fix, and that is a pleasure in itself. This carrot-ginger soup is a lovely one, richly flavourful and so soothing.

Chili cheese toast has been an Indian staple for generations, and many of us – myself, for certain, and my children as well – grew up eating it as a special snack. My association with it began at clubs, which were the only social gathering spaces back then. We as a family would look forward to those outings, and to the snacks available there which were inherited from the British. Even a few weekends ago, I found myself ordering chili cheese toast at a club get-together, as has been a habit for all these decades. The funny thing is that something that had such exotic connotations in childhood is actually an extremely easy dish to whip up, as you’ll see below.

Millets have made numerous appearances on this blog. They were, traditionally speaking, widely consumed across India and have in recent years made a comeback among the health-conscious. When it comes to jowar (which you may know as sorghum), the fibre, protein and essential minerals it provides – along with the fact that it is relatively light to digest – make it an excellent choice. This jowar khichdi is a great dish to put a little energy boost into your day, and is ideal for either lunch or dinner.

Time and again, I have spoken on this blog about how eating seasonal produce is the best thing for our bodies. We are a part of Nature, and it is intrinsic in us. Here in India, while the peak of summer is behind us, the winter is still far enough away that lighter grains are what we need. Hence, jowar (known in English as sorghum) is something I am making meals from these days. This jowar roti is an excellent use of the same, incorporating the ingredient into a daily staple.

There was a time when I thought that once my children had grown up and had gone away for their higher studies, my job as a preparer and packer of tiffin boxes would come to an end. Clearly not! Now, I still find myself making daily choices regarding healthy lunch options that they can enjoy at the office, and still struggle now and then with figuring out good ones that are tasty, nutritious and can keep well for a few hours. In frequent rotation is this paneer tikka roll, which fulfils all those criteria.

For a long time, I bought garam masala, as it was only sparingly used in my cooking. Then, worried about spice adulteration in commercial brands, I began making it myself. Now, I find myself using it a lot more often, since I know that what’s on hand is so pure, and so potent too. I’m thrilled to share the recipe for garam masala with you too, and I hope you’ll check it out!

Mango is, as cliché as it sounds, truly the king of fruits – in India at least, if not the world.

It's amazing how many recipes each person, not just each community or state, but each individual, can come up with using mango. I recently mentioned aam ki launji, a Marwari condiment that is neither a pickle nor a chutney but is almost both, and I am happy to share a recipe for this today.

Aloo poori used to be a dish served in daily meals throughout India. people have become health conscious, or at least that is what I believe based on what I observe.Together, they are delicious, and I understand both why people used to want to eat aloo poori frequently earlier, and why it plays a role in feasts today. Here, I share a masala aloo poori recipe.

New on the re:store blog – an unbeatable combo that used to be a regular dish, and is now a festive one!
