Mumbai-styled Pav Bhaji is a famous street food of North India. It is a beloved dish of our family and for a busy mum like me, it’s an amazing recipe. Because kids get all their veggies in a delicious form. This one -pot vegetable dish is nourishing and so very comforting. Winter food cravings going strong with this one!! Happy weekend everyone🤗 . . . . #pavbhaji #indianstreetfood #streetfood #onepotmeal #vegetables #buns #healthyfood #yummyfood #superfoods #nourishing #soulfulpalate #indiancuisine #mealideas #vegetarian #plantbased #homecooking #homemadefood #foodphotography #foodstyling #shotoniphone11promax #foodblogger #indianfood #heathylifestyle #loveforfood #foodielife #eatmoreveggies #vegetarianfood #wholesome (at Toronto C•A•N•A•D•A) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8A6RRyF_HF/?igshid=noakczxjlux8

It was all about being home today as the snow storm had taken over our city. With dropping temperatures, the need for warm food increases. These Chocolate Brownies made with spelt flour and raw banana flour were such good escape. It was my trial with vegan caramel sauce. And omg....I am so not going back to unhealthy version of it. Caramelised bananas in the brownies added even more richness. Topped it up with my favourite raspberries and voila...a truly satisfying dessert. Healthy and delicious😋 . . . . #chocolate #brownies #speltflour #banana #caramel #vegandessert #healthydessert #healthyfood #yummyfood #superfoods #nourishing #soulfulpalate #mealideas #vegetarian #plantbased #passionforbaking #foodblogger #foodblog #foodphotography #shotoniphone11promax #foodstyling #loveforfood #healthyliving #weekendfun #cooking #baking #yummy (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7fNBYFl998/?igshid=ywg5glbxcaua

Oranges are always love at first sight. Their freshness and zing brings so much vigour to any dessert. I love the combination of orange and vinegrette in salads. So I thought to give it a go in my tea cake. Tuscan olive oil and orange blossom is a classic combination but I have few secret ingredients here that uplifted the flavours of main ingredients so well. Hint of Balsamic vinegar is what gives the tanginess to the cake. Saffron strands give that natural color and basil leaves on top adds such nice fragrance. This tea cake is nothing but a mesmerising indulgence without any guilt since there is no sugar in it. My weekend baking was absolutely spot on. How about you? What is your weekend story when you got some extra time to cook something indulging and comforting? . . . . #teacake #orange #oliveoil #citrus #teatime #desserts #basil #freshness #delicious #nosugar #foodart #healthyfood #yummyfood #superfoods #nourishing #soulfulpalate #beautifulcuisines #mealideas #vegetarian #plantbased #passionate #cooking #homemade #foodblog #foodphotography #foodstyling #shotoniphone11promax #loveforfood #vegandessert #eatrealfood (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7PK03clVsV/?igshid=dy97eoocg4hp

✨🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR🎉✨ Wishing you all a lovely and a beautiful start. First day of the new year is full of hopes and aspirations, and I pray with all my heart that each of us follow a path that help us achieve them🙏 . . Prioritising health goals always top everyone’s lists. So starting new year on a right note with these stunning vegetable and fruit smoothies. Don’t live a toxic life that would require you to detox. Simply include more plant-based foods into your life and feel the magic✨ . . Eating more plants has helped me feel my best not only physically but also mentally. And one of my health goals for this year is to eat only plant-based foods. I first gave up on meat and fish, and then eggs. And this year I plan to give up on dairy. Slowly and steadily I have achieved what I thought I could never. Setting easy to achieve goals has helped me immensely to achieve my bigger goals. Thanks @akshtapundir for this simple yet empowering advice in one of your earlier posts in this regard👍 . . #happynewyear2020 #newyearwishes #newyearresolution #vegetables #fruits #smoothie #juicing #rawfood #healthyfood #yummyfood #superfoods #nourishing #soulfulpalate #eatrealfood #mealideas #vegetarian #plantbased #veganlife #foodphotography #foodstyling #foodblogger #healthyfoodblog #shotoniphone #selfcare #wellness #healthgoals #wellbeing (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6yjJ1PlDJ4/?igshid=1bp5tx3a1icl0

That’s how my mornings look like most of the days. Oats cooked in almond milk and topped with fresh fruits, nuts and coconut. I usually drizzle some honey for sweetness but today I replaced it with a dollop of homemade Nutella. This homemade Nutella is free of sugar and made out of dates, cacao powder and hazelnuts only. No other hidden ingredients. Buying Nutella from market is a thing of past. My homemade version is simple, quick and healthy🤗 . . It’s been long I set any new year resolutions for myself. New Year is a good time to set new goals because it feels like a fresh start. Health and fitness goals always top our list, so committing myself to cook more at home. There are so many things we buy from market and so many of those we don’t need to. Jams, Nutella , granola, breakfast cereal, protein bars and other savoury snacks can be easily prepared at home. You know Wat exactly goes into your body!! . . What are your Health related goals and resolutions for 2020?? . . #food #nutella #oats #oatmeal #healthyfood #yummyfood #superfoods #nourishing #soulfulpalate #beautifulcuisines #mealideas #vegetarian #plantbased #breakfast #veganlife #healthylifestyle #wellness #selfcare #healthycooking #eatrealfood #wholesome #nutritiousmeals #foodblogger #foodblog #foodphoto #shotoniphone11promax (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6pED7cliBr/?igshid=4ir49891inbe

Making healthy parfait cups for breakfast or as pick me up dessert is totally my thing. Fresh berries and granola at their best!! Add some herbs to get some extra freshness....basil or mint brings out flavours of this wholesome dish so well. We have been consuming more homemade yogurt ever since I started making yogurt in @instantpotofficial. As you know it can be hard to set yogurt in chilly winters of Canada, I absolutely rely on my instant pot to get perfect thick yogurt every time. It truly amazes how simplest of ingredients make for best recipes. Hope you are all enjoying holiday season as much as we are💚❤️ . . . . #breakfast #breakfastideas #parfait #raspberry #blueberry #granola #yogurt #deliciousfood #loveforfood #eatrealfood #nutritious #wholesome #wellness #selfcare #healthyfood #yummyfood #superfoods #nourishing #soulfulpalate #beautifulcuisines #mealideas #vegetarian #plantbased #homecooking #foodphotographyandstyling #foodphoto #shotoniphone11promax (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6PWZt6Fk4u/?igshid=1iyraw4m8uyuc

And our Christmas festivities continue with this dreamy aka creamy Christmas cookie tree. 3D Christmas trees have been trending this year for quite sometime and I wanted to give it a go. It was so much fun creating this whole piece. However, the best part was munching on it😉😁 . . My elder one was stunned to see a Christmas tree that she could eat. She was quite proud of herself, for I used her handmade Snowman for my food photography. And her gingerbread house too!! So, she easily swayed away few extra cookies for her big chunk of contribution in the whole process of creating this Christmas special post. Hope you all enjoy a glimpse of our butter cookie Christmas tree with vanilla flavoured cream cheese frosting. Excited to share more recipes this holiday season with you all☺️ . . . . #christmastree #christmascookies #gingerbreadhouse #snowman #christmastime #festivities #joy #celebration #christmasdecor #christmasfood #christmasdessert #healthyfood #yummyfood #superfoods #nourishing #soulfulpalate #beautifulcuisines #mealideas #vegetarian #foodart #foodblogger #foodphotographyandstyling #foodiegram #ornaments #christmas #shotoniphone11promax #passionforfood #loveforfood #foodpic (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Mw72Elr2C/?igshid=jpw36schixco

It’s the most yummiest time of the year🎄 Ever since I made gingerbread house from scratch I realised how much effort and time goes into it. My first trial was a fail because I decorated it first and then assembled it. And my daughter warned me not to do it but anyway I learnt my lesson. And for next trial I got @wiltonbrands gingerbread house making kit. For a busy mom it was a blessing in disguise. I was lucky enough to spot it at nearby @winners store because the price was further reduced. So if you are someone who enjoys gingerbread house decorating as a family tradition but hard on time, then don’t feel guilty of going easy way. All you want is to have some fun this holiday season.

My love for Moong Dal Chila began long ago when I attended an Indian Wedding back when I was in Delhi. I must be really young but I absolutely cherished eating all the yummy things at Chaat stalls in wedding functions. That is how the ritual started for us at any occasion. Indian weddings are lot of fun but also I wonder Wat happens to the food that people don’t consume. In some of my last conversations with friends and family back home, I got to know that most of the food gets wasted. But slowly and steadily efforts are being made to donate leftovers to the NGOs that serve needy. That is a great initiative and if you k ow someone who is about to get married or planning a wedding, suggest them to do the same and help spread awareness🙏 . . Now that the wedding season is in full swing in India, I thought of making all the comforting foods that excite the child in me. Moong Dal Chila being top on my list. While my insta feed is more inclined towards holiday special posts, I wanted to get my hands on all things that take me back to my roots. Though my daughter is after my life to start the Holiday baking fun, a tradition we established just a few years ago. Soon you will have glimpse of all things Christmas in my posts. So excited for that!! Also I have a huge underlying project. I am I. The process of building my website from scratch and optimise my old and new content. Any tips on that will be welcome🤗 . . # moongdalchila #indianfood #lentils #savory #healthyfood #yummyfood #superfoods #nourishing #soulfulpalate #indiancuisine #mealideas #vegetarian #plantbased #lovecooking #homemadefood #foodblog #heathyfoodblog #foodphoto #shotoniphone11promax #foodblogger #indianfoodblogger #eathealthy #vegetarianfood #wellness #selfcare #chaitime #quickmeals https://www.instagram.com/p/B5t-PEtFf0a/?igshid=1djew9ftn04bk

Thanksgiving is almost here and I am thrilled to share my recipes as the fall season is about to end🍁🍂Today we had these yummy Butternut Squash stuffed with creamy brown rice risotto, topped with fresh cilantro, pomegranate and dollops of cream cheese🌱Lots of herbs and spices gave this recipe an absolute hit👍 . . Off lately my insta feed has been displaying thanksgiving special recipes and I was procrastinating to try some of them. But @rainbowplantlife got me hooked to her beautiful squash recipe and I decided to give it a try. Took me around two and a half hours to prep this, however the final result was incredibly worth it🤗 . . Thanks Nisha for encouragement and as always great work👍 . . . . #thanksgiving #butternutsquash #squash #thanksgivingrecipes #healthyrecipes #healthyfood #yummyfood #superfoods #nourishing #soulfulpalate #beautifulcuisines #mealideas #vegetarian #plantbased #wellness #vivid #bright #colorfulfood #foodblogger #healthyfoodrecipes #foodphoto #shotoniphone11promax #cooking #dinnerideas #healthymeals #eatrealfood #nutrition (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5UDbSvFIAr/?igshid=1audtlbuqjb52

Thinking of comfort foods and this came to my mind!! After binge watching few recipe videos by my favorite @pickuplimes , I decided to try one of her recipes and it was that vegan burger lentil patty. It was not only delicious and healthy but surprisingly pretty quick to prepare. I gave my own lil twist by coating the patty in vegan barbecue sauce and grilling it thereafter. Those spicy peppers have much needed punch🌶 Have a great weekend everyone 😊🤗 . . . . #veganburger #healthymeals #veganismo #loveforcooking #eatmoreplants #foodblog #healthyfoodblog #healthylifestyle #comfortfood #healthyfood #yummyfood #superfoods #nourishing #soulfulpalate #mealideas #vegetarian #plantbased #weekendvibes #veganrecipes #eatrealfood #wellness #tasty #burgers https://www.instagram.com/p/B5MhL_MFxWJ/?igshid=1i35egjh0fg4o

Eating healthy is a choice that we all try to make. Why is it that healthy habits are hard to establish? Why do we have to make efforts to tell ourselves to stop eating junk? Why so many of us fail to stick to healthy eating during weekends? Why do we reach out for ice cream tubs, packet of chips or resort to alcohol and drugs when feeling low or depressed to get some high? My answer is- Victim Mind. I believe that we all possess two minds, one is victim mind, that always wants to laze around and avoid hardships. Victim mind just wants to be in comfort zone and keeps you telling that the other side of road is dark and dangerous. Don’t take that hard route. Whereas our other mind is Winner mind which irrespective of our unique personalities, we all possess, tells you to go and take that hard route. The Winner mind knows how to win every single battle. It is the winner mind that constantly strives to make you live. It is because of winner mind that we all our alive. Then why does our winner mind lose from victim mind? My second answer is company. Since winner mind lives with victim mind inside our miraculous bodies, winner mind gives in to his buddy’s demands. This is the reason it is so important to surround yourselves with people who impact your life in a positive way. Simply walk out of boundations and relationships that pull you down. Good relations will always lift you up and help you in your journey. That’s what have worked for me and so many other people I know. So friends tell your winner mind to tell it’s friend victim mind to get out. Cos life comes with limited offer and you gotta make every day every moment count. So eat healthy and indulge in self love and self care without any guilt!! . . . . #selfcare #selflove #heathylife #win #accomplishinggoals #eatingheathy #eatrealfood #breakfastclub #everydaycounts #berries #homemadegranola #coconutyogurt #foodblog #therapy #food #lifeisbeautiful #positivity #healthyfood #yummyfood #superfoods #nourishing #soulfulpalate #mealideas #vegetarian #plantbased #passionatecook #foodphotography #foodblogger #wellness (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5GAUQylItt/?igshid=1ixr8lotls676

I am a huge fan of Avocado Toast. However, here it is with a bit of a twist. I recently saw @jamieoliver recipe video on doing avocado toast 4 ways and one was Beetroot Cream Cheese as a base on a crispy rye bread. And so I tried it and added freshly chopped arugula leaves with a hint of lime. And oh my!!!! This is a flavour combo to die for. Super yum!! A must try recipe for all avocado toast lovers out there🥑🥑💚💚 Happy Weekend everyone😊 . . . . #avocado #avocadotoast #beetroot #healthybreakfastideas #eatinghealthy #wellness #eatrealfood #breakfast #deliciousfood #healthyfood #yummyfood #superfoods #nourishing #soulfulpalate #beautifulcuisines #mealideas #vegetarian #plantbased #passionatecook #foodblogger #healthyfoodblog #foodphoto #shotoniphone11promax #foodie #eatingwell #healthylifestyle #goodfood #selfcare (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B46ekIflTSe/?igshid=72tpt3yjhmp3

And so it’s snowing here in Toronto but it’s still fall in my head. I love snow so much but so much more work for a mommy who has to bundle up the kids every time we step out. I am so not ready to say goodbye to warm sunny days. But it’s time to welcome deceiving sunny days of winter season!! So gotta go with flow no matter what. Cheering myself up through this gorgeous colourful breakfast!! On my plate, lightly sautéed mushrooms and cherry tomatoes on smashed avocado toast with some greens on side🥑🌱🌱 . .

Sweet & sour poha and chai with some savoury snack on side, our idea of a perfect weekend breakfast. Healthy, light, filling, and quick to prepare!! Poha or beaten flat rice are famous all across India. Indore Poha is a typical breakfast meal on a daily basis for many in Indore where jalebis are served alongside too. For now having it with my tea and some namkeen!! Hope everyone had a great weekend🙏 . . . . #poha #indianbreakfast #chai #healthybreakfast #healthyeats #wellness #eatinghealthy #indianfood #foodblogger #indianfoodblogger #healthyfood #yummyfood #superfoods #nourishing #soulfulpalate #indiancuisine #mealideas #vegetarian #plantbased #passionatecook #loveforfood #foodphoto #foodiesofinstagram #shotoniphone11promax (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4seoBcFrPC/?igshid=12vmtetj08mr6
