Ramadan reminds me of HALEEM and Phirni and ofcourse Biryani.

The streets pf park circus area in kolkata or the streets of Frazer town in Bangalore , they all remind me of the this hearty bowl of slow cooked meat stew called ❤️

I turned this nutritious bowl of aromatic stew into a one pot dish as Haleem is a meal in itself with lentils, meat, Bulgar and other grains . It’s wholesome and filling 🍀❤️

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝟑𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐌

Took equal quantity of Bulgar and red lentils and ground it.

🤩then in a sauce pan added some ghee some roughly chopped garlic and onions sautéed for 2 mins and then added the ground mixture and again sautéed for a minute and then added water and salt and let it cook for 15 mins in medium flame watching it carefully.

🤩once done Blend Blend Blend

Now in the same saucepan add some more ghee and fry some Kebabs ( got them from local Turkish store) keep it aside now on the aromatic oil of the kebabs add some more garilic (grated) mint leaves (dried) some chili and cumin powder mix and after a minute add the blended lentil mixture

Boil for 3 mins .

🤩 garnish with fresh coriander, lime some fried onions and make an oil of a tap of ghee mint and chili flakes and drizzle . Don’t forget to add the kebabs on top 😝

🍃for vegan option just skip the meat

Sustainability is the heart of this place right from the T-shirt’s to the boxes as well as their e scooter that’s used for delivery.

🍕when I took a bite of the Signatur Pizza I could instantly taste the freshness of each and every ingredient.

You can also download their app to order . They are located at

The weather was cold and chilly but the the owner Sevil was the warmest host.

There is something about the cafe that lifts up your spirits🥰 who ever walks in is greeted by The widest smile and your made to feel welcome in just a second 😊

I started with the detox drink made with spinach and citrus blends and but was so refreshing.

For savory I went with Sevil’s suggestion of truffle flammkuchen and the Roseli special salad. Everything was so fresh and delectable.

⭐️ the highlight was the raspberry chocolate cheesecake.. it literally blew my mind.. a total 🌟

Whenever your there say a 🙋‍♀️ to Sevil and don’t forget to pay the cutest pup 🐶

Besan ke Laddoos are my absolute favorite. And yes post pregnancy I have crazy cravings but 0 time .

Yesterday hubby was on daddy duties and I finally took a breather to cook my favorite sweet: Besan ke Laddoos

💁‍♀️ 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟒 𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐩𝐞𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫 ( 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐚𝐧), 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐫 , 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐞 ( 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫)

I made it the fastest way : no frills attached

Let the ghee melt 1/4th cup
Add cardamom :4 (ground)
Then add a cup of Besan . Fry on low flame till it changes color and has a nutty flavor.
Add powdered sugar: mix
Now if required add more ghee.when your take the aromatic flour in your oiled palms , you should be able to form balls ( make them when the flour is hot)
If you think mixture is dry add more ghee

And voila your Besan ke Laddoos are ready and trust they are so so yumm. Bet you can’t eat one 😝

Make big or small balls whatever you like and pop them in your mouth and thank me later 😛

2021💙

From preeclampsia to Gestational Diabetes to being told that I would deliver a premie and the going ahead post my due date getting induced for 5 days to trying to have a normal delivery and eventually having a c section and then bam 💥 I enter motherhood and I see this little ( we’ll not so little as he is big boy ) human I created and the hello to 4 th trimester.

Firstly you keep on hearing breast ia best .. too much of societal pressure .

I don't know why the world thinks it's funny to tell mothers that breastfeeding is this super natural and easy thing to do, because in my experience that is a huge lie. The amount of pressure I put on myself to breastfeed almost sent me into a downward spiral of depression. I agonized about trying to feed my newborn, who wanted nothing to do with my breast. We were both hysterical for days until I finally gave up and started pumping and ofcourse formula to the rescue

Post surgery the entire body feels like a truck ran over you and hello to the bleeding which you has forgotten about.so there is pain, the stitches hurt , there is incessant bleeding and cramping and ofcourse sleep derivation, anxiety attacks and hormones and how can I forget baby blues .

And then there is a bit of a shock as no one prepares you for motherhood and then there is exhaustion.

Lastly everything terrifies you . The first drive back home I realized that I was now responsible for the life of another human being. Nothing really makes you realize that like that first drive with a newborn. I am scared of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), jaundice, colic, toxic chemicals in plastic, eating, and germs. Basically, I was afraid of everything.

Every time I go to the bathroom or am in the other room I always hear him cry even when he is not , hence don’t judge me for looking disheveled 😒

So excited to be featured the Season 2 of The future edit podcast where I talk about spices going beyond your kitchen and personal well-being 💙

Has it ever occurred to you that you have healing herbs and spices in your kitchen cupboard? Yep! It’s cool no?! Who would have thought that turmeric, pepper, cloves, nutmeg could have so many heal thing properties for your immune system up also great for your mental health.

In this week’s episode 04 I talk with Utsa De founder of The Practical Cook. Utsa created the Practical Cook out of necessity in 2020 during the pandemic. She was desperately missing home in India and the Bengali cuisine. She decided to create spice packets consisting of what you need to make a delicious Bengali dish. She also whole heartily believes in the healing properties of spices and creates fresh ground golden milk spice packets with turmeric and many other delicious spices and cold spice packs to kick your cold to the curb.

Before the pandemic she organised Indian cooking classes to bring people together. She’s a believer in community and hopes to bring women together in the new year for cooking, chatting and creating a community of trust, love and honesty.

Do not miss out on this episode.

It’s getting cold out there and the weather is getting grey😒

💁‍♀️But it’s the perfect time to enjoy some onion pakodas ( 🇮🇳onion fritters ) with some 😍

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲:

Airfryer to the rescue 🤩

💁‍♀️Pre heat airfryer to 200C for 7 mins while you assemble

💁‍♀️ I took 2 medium sized red 🧅 and chopped them and then 2 green 🌶 chopped them and ofcourse some finely chopped fresh coriander

💁‍♀️Dry ingredients: half a cup of gram flower (Besan) and don’t forget to add 4 tbsp of rice powder (this makes it extra crispy 😉)

💁‍♀️ Spices : 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp Kashmiri red Chili powder, 1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain) , 1/2 tsp of nigela seeds , pinch of hing (optional) , Salt to taste

🌟key ingredient to make it extra crispy and up that level : 1 1/2 tbsp of mustard oil ( else any oil of your choice )

Mix all the dry ingredients together and then add the veggies and mix now add in water bit by bit you don’t want a slurry rather a batter that holds its shape.

⭐️Spray some oil in the air fryer pan and drop the batter a spoonful, make sure they don’t touch each other and spray a little oil.

⭐️cook for 10 to 13 mins flipping each side and keep an eye they don’t burn a each air fryer is different 😊

💁‍♀️Enjoy these pakodas by drizzling some chaat masala or black salt and with a side of green chutney or ketchup and don’t forget the chai 😜

⭐️Enjoy and let me know how you like these guilt free pakodas and yes keep experimenting with different veggies 😀
