Personal blog on food and discovery For the love of good healthy food and cooking with and for friends and family. For balance of mind, body and soul.
For the discovery of who we want to be and who we can be...
These are my personal discoveries of global food..food the language that unites us all. From the Americas to Kashmir, Thailand and Middle East and many more, this is what brings me love and reawakening.
Operating as usual
Early Mornings made beautiful by getting to the floating vegetable market at the crack of Dawn and being greeted by this amazing rose cardamom kehwa š.

Beautiful summer and soulful sunshine food.
That Kashmiri chutney to brighten up your table, your palate and your day šš. This elevates the flavors of walnuts and white radish with a nudge of green chilies, garlic and mint which is finally combined with the richness of creamy yoghurt ( plant based is perfect).
Serve as a side or a dip or by the spoonful š.

Loving the summer eggplants- this one is roasted long eggplant brushed with thyme, lemon and oregano oil served on a refreshing cucumber dill yoghurt base. Plant based yoghurt will be perfect here. Sprinkle some sumac on top for the zing
There is a recipe on my blog. Search for eggplants. ..

Itās eggplant season - enjoy your summer produce. This dish is called Mahshi Batinjaan. Batinjaan is eggplant. You can prepare the dish stuffed with meat or vegetable. I have used a stuffing mixed with rice. Any leftover stuffing can be cooked to a side dish.
There is a recipe on my blog.

This is a whole food plant-based no oil recipe which is airy and yet strong from the ginger and miso. You can add other vegetables but I found the mirepoix ( onions, celery, carrots) to give the clearest flavors....

Mango saffron dreams- a sweet and intoxicating simmered infusion of rice, mango, cardamom, saffron and milk sweetened with condensed milk.
You can use plant based milk so beautifully in this recipe. The result is exquisite.

Bespoke spice mix for Ras-el-hanout being put together just for me in the MĆ©dina of Marrakech. The fragrance is so intense and magical that it makes to want to get back home and start cooking with these spices.

Lunch in Tanger: Another city today and another 5 course Tagine lunch. This was in the heart of Medina served like a home cooked meal by some amazing hosts. We started with salad and soup, followed by an amazing plate couscous and then the steaming tagines. This was then beautifully closed by fresh fruit, sweets and always the steaming cups of mint tea.

Starting the holidays beautifully with a mouthwatering Kashmiri breakfast made possible by a delectable Haersse #hareesa provided by Uffi's Kitchen .

Karela is that bitter vegetable that I absolutely love - like many of us this was not a veggie of choice when we were kids, in fact, I steered clear of it. Now I grow it organically and look forward to cooking with it. The medicinal benefits are immense and frankly, I love the bitter-sweet taste. Freshly picked from the vine it is just exquisite. #karela #superfood #vegetarian #indiancooking
That is the sizzle of Lauki (bottle gourd) kofta not deep fried and puffing up like a pillow. This when nicely browned will go in a tomato based curry sauce and served with fresh chopped cilantro and green chillies. All the veggies ( lauki, tomatoes, onions, Garlic and green chillies) are my urban backyard harvest cooked with fresh roasted spices. Life is full of uplifting and nourishing things to center you up. Own it šø. . . #lauki #kofta #veganrecipes #lunchrecipes #growingfood #organic #organicgardening #foodism #foodismedicine #vegetarian

The supreme roti - coming together of beets and milled flour in a song and dance. . . This bread is toasted beets with a wholesome flour, I added a pinch of baking powder and some discard sourdough and watched it all come together beautifully . . . #roti #sourdough #soudoughdiscard #beets #roastedbeets #wholewheat #flatbread
Roganjosh anyone ?? Yes this will be a beautiful vegan Kashmiri roganjosh of unparalleled flavors... wait for the recipe coming soon. Meanwhile a happy cold Virginia Saturday ā¤ļø.
That homemade sourdough with rye and whole wheat will truly feed the soul. Listen to the crunch and enjoy.
We are making pretzels with artisanal four š¤©. These just came out of a dip in boiling water with baking soda and are being salted and them in a 450 oven for 15 mins. . . #baked #bakedbread #pretzels #goodfood #huffposttaste

Whole spices, shallots and garden fresh green chilies are add that beautiful aroma to the avocado oil and the house :) This will end up being a keema pulao with yoghurt and cashews and steamed just right in a tagine pot # . . . #tagine #pulao #claypotrice #spices #homemade #amazingfood
