#15daysofgratitude: Today I'm grateful of all the beautiful vacations I have ever been on! From my first trip to Kashmir when I was 2 to my trips to various cities in Rajasthan, Kerela and Himachal Pradesh. Also all those countries I visited in the last 29 years. My favorite being Switzerland and United Kingdom. I lost a part of myself in both these places. ♥️💯 . And now while I'm in Dalhousie I am in love with this place! The old world charm, the pine trees, fresh and hot local food and the slow self-sufficient life is all so beautiful! ♥️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BrFkAy3H1qC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x88r6wwj3ajj

Restuarant style Burmese Khao Suey (Vegetarian)

Just like Italian food brings me comfort and deep soul-satisfying joy from the bottom of my heart, Thai food takes Ankit (my BF for life/ now husband. ps. I haven’t yet acknowledged that relationship status :P) to his zen zone.

Having said that we have had Khao Suey at the best places in town but I always thought I could replicate the recipe someday at home! After giving it a couple of tries,…

Veg Dhansak

When you stay in Mumbai you barely have anything that is close to the text book definition of “winter”.

But a few drop in temperature and little dryness on the skin is what makes me happy. That’s when I bring down my sweaters, light cardigans and old winter recipes.

My first winter food is dhak-shaak. Dhan

Shak Dal- Spicy Lentils made with vegetables

Well it’s typically not winter food. It’s an…

Being Smart even when you are in love with food!

It has been a gastronomic month or rather brilliantly delicious year. 🙏

And as much as I love food I think there is no point of loving food without actually having a body healthy enough to enjoy and…
