#foodquiz First 25 years in South India and close to last two decades in North India means me and my family can’t imagine living without both the cuisines. I guess i am lucky to enjoy best of both worlds. Today, on the joyous occasion of Lohri, I decided to celebrate this by making Rajma Chawal along with Lemon rice and Beans Poriyal( stir fry) . Food truly inspires and unites us 💖 Don’t you agree ? What name should i give this Lunch Plate...”Two States meal”?....any other name to celebrate this love for both North and South cuisines? Wishing all who celebrate a very Happy Lohri 🌾🌾🌾 . . . . . . . #happylohri #rajmachawal #lemonrice #whpinspiredby#indianfestival #foodquiz#indianculture#sundaylunch #masterchefmom #food #cookedwithlove #momknowsbest #homecooked #love #glutenfreefood #indianfood #realindianfood #timeskitchentales #timeskitchentalesinstalove (at Gurgaon, Haryana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BslG8ZrFnDN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jcis9t6xix1z

“ You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream” - C.S. Lewis Age is just a number. It is never too late to pursue your passion. There is nothing that a homemaker cannot do. I never planned to be a ‘food blogger’ or a ‘food photographer’ or a ‘food stylist’. All I used to do is to try different recipes and cook for my family. ’Success’ , to me is not the amount of money we earn, but the amount of happiness we can give and share with people. There will always be people who are going to judge your intentions, attitude, appearance, background and doubt your capabilities. Remember, they are only making you stronger and helping you work harder. On the other hand, there will always be people who constantly encourage and motivate you and help you to believe in yourself. They understand your true passion. They are the ones who really matter. My journey from being a homemaker to a teacher to a home chef to a food blogger who loves sharing her stories through her food photographs, is full of such experiences. 2018 has been a year full of ups and downs. The downs came when I was diagnosed with an auto-immune skin condition and both my moms (mother & mother-in-law) faced health set backs. A big thanks to my family and friends who were a constant source of positivity and helped me stay positive and afloat. The high point of this year was when I made a presentation to a house full audience on ‘taking great food photographs using a smart phone’. I have to thank @google and @googlelocalguides for giving me this great opportunity. The response and love I received from the audience was so over whelming . It reiterated a message that if we focus on our journey, results will follow. It reinforces the fact that, Age is just a number. I want to thank each and everyone who have taken the time to comment, message on all my posts this year. I am ever grateful for your love and kindness. My prayers to all those who lost their loved ones this year and hoping 2019 will bring happiness and joy in every one’s life. Stay the course. Pursue your dreams. Desired results will come. Wishing you and your family a very Happy and Healthy 2019🎉🎉🎉 https://www.instagram.com/p/BsDYDtzlyt9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=be8oxlnqh3ck

#fortheloveofpongal #gourmetpongal Good morning all 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻. I truly love my Pongal 💖💖💖💖 After moving to the North, I tasted the traditional homemade Khichdi and felt that I knew it forever 💖. With the generous amount of melted fresh ghee and the smooth flowing texture of the rice and moong dal with the right amount of tempered ginger, pepper and cumin seeds and enjoyed steaming hot ... you are sure to experience food heaven . Sadly, I feel that this dish is poorly marketed 😄. I always try my best to entice the next Gen with my presentation 😅. Also, made a Gothsu / Gojju/ Gosthu using season’s freshest strawberries 🍓 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓. So many of you messaged me with your guesses #thankyou 🙏🏻😍. This is Instant Pongal made using Poha/ Flattened rice .Recipe is so simple . Poha : Moongdal = 1 cup : 1/4 cup ( You can add/ reduce the quantity according to your taste) 1. Wash moong and cook in an open pot with 2 cups water. 2. Add 1/8 tsp turmeric powder 3. Once the dal is mushy, add in the poha ( wash and soak them in water for just 5 minutes) 4. Add salt . 5. Heat 2 tsp ghee and temper with ginger pieces , pepper corns and jeera/ cumin seeds ( lightly crushed ) 6. Enjoy piping hot with jaggery or tangy gothsu or coconut chutney. . . . #masterchefmom #gourmetpongal#homemade #pongal #gothsu #momslove #goodmorning https://www.instagram.com/p/BrmBczCleif/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u39vx38gqyp7
