Making patoleos was one of Avozinha’s favourite family activities, just like how she’d like to spend time making Christmas sweets together. This is the first 15th August without her. 🥺 Happy Feast everyone! Happy 75th Indian Independence Day!! Patoleos are steamed Goan sweet parcels made with a thick rice paste and a filling of jaggery and freshly grated coconut mixed together. Turmeric leaves are washed and prepared by applying the rice paste, followed by the stuffing. These are then steamed. The aroma that fills the home is so nostalgic. Nothing beats sitting in the balcony with a nice hot cup of tea and eating some freshly steamed patoleos while the rain sings it’s melodies. #trulysoulfullyeats #deliciouscravingsatvaniaskitchen #learntocookwithvania #patoleo #15thaugust #indianindependenceday #goanfoodblogger #goanfood #goanfoodie #goanfoodies #goandiaries #goanfoodblog #goanfoodlovers #goanfoodmania #goanfooddiaries #goanfoodbloggers #indianfood #indianfoodlovers #indianfoodrecipes #indianfoodblog #eatcaptureshare #thebiteshot #foodblogfeed #indianfoodstories #myopenkitchen #mykitchenstories #foodporn #foodblogger (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChRefY8javr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As human as it sounds, human beings are always busy doing various tasks, either with focus and mindlessly. Having busy schedules is nothing new to all of us. Each day begins with some sort of plan for us. We have our daily to-do-lists but do we really give ourselves the much needed ‘free-time’ as part of our busy schedules? We ought to do this! Free-time doesn’t mean mindlessly scrolling on social media or getting hooked on to a new show on Netflix. Free-time should be a time when you are free from any job or task. It is crucial to help you stay aligned, and sometimes it also gives you that little space to think and review. Prioritise this! You’ll be surprised to see the difference. Go on and add that much needed ‘free-time’ to your to-do-lists or your diary!

It is so mesmerising to fathom how Spring can be a reminder that new life is born once again as the season changes. The bright colours and warm sunshines are a reminder every day to have a more positive outlook to life. Yesterday, I handed in my 4 weeks notice at work to follow my passion and dreams. Feelings: A heavy load is off my shoulders. I feel happier, lighter and brighter. Currently, I don’t have a plan B but my plan A is to focus and work very hard as a content creator. I don’t know what the future holds and I wouldn’t want to think of it either. I might be alone in this decision while many family, friends and acquaintances might disagree and remind me of the ‘what ifs’ but this time I’m going with my heart. I’ve always wanted to be a full-time content creator and I know I’ll do this! Everything will be just perfect. God will definitely provide and guide. I truly believe in this and have faith. Thank you to all of you beautiful souls that are with me here in my journey. We’re going to have so much fun in the next few months/years/decades.. and I can’t wait! Make sure to follow @trulysoulfullyeats and @trulysoulfully and contribute to this journey with me. 📷: @vanda_szabo_photography #trulysoulfullyeats #trulysoulfully #trulysoulfullycurates #deliciouscravingsatvaniaskitchen #learntocookwithvania #goanfoodblogger #londonfoodblogger #londonlifestyleblogger #lifestyleblogger #indianfoodbloggers #indianfoodblog #indianfoodbloggersnetwork #goanfoodblog #londonfoodblog #londonfoodies #londonfoodbloggers #ukblogger #ukbloggers #ukblog #hussleandmotivate #contentcreator #contentcreation #contentcreators #lifeofadventure #lifeofablogger #bloggerstyle #bloggerlife #lifeonair (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbwvCHLDtxV/?utm_medium=tumblr

Little note: Thank you for all your fervent prayers! Everything went well! I was just too exhausted yesterday to post the recipe so sharing it with you all today! We’ve been off meats for lent and I think of any kind of fish as something with that little mass. It feels like you’ve eaten something hearty if you’re not a big fan of pure vegetarian food. We both finished work early that evening and went to get some nice fish. I got the whole salmon for around £40. The fishmonger was kind enough to fillet it for us and I’m a happy girl if I don’t have to clean fish myself. I’d take that any day. Back home when we were young, if my mum wasn’t home and if we didn’t have a maid at that time then my sister and I were incharge of making lunch. I’d make her cook the rice, grate coconut and clean the fish. I’d do the rest. 😂 @eneidecotta remember those days? Anyway back to the recipe: A very simple fewer ingredients kinda recipe tbh. Wash the fillet. Wipe it dry. Place it on an oven tray. Drizzle on some extra virgin olive oil, black pepper powder, Himalayan salt, and a lot of finely chopped garlic. Grill the salmon until just done. Serve this salmon with simply sautéed mushrooms and spinach in garlic, olive oil and a pinch of salt. There! Dinner is ready in just a few seconds. Hassle free too! It really brings out the flavour of salmon. Healthy and just the best! If I was still having alcohol these days then I’d pair this with a glass of wine! It can never go wrong that way. I’m sure you’ll agree! @dacunhanigel loved it and so did I. Tag @trulysoulfullyeats if you end up trying this recipe. DM me pictures.. Leave a comment. I’d really really want to know. #trulysoulfullyeats #foodblogfeed #deliciouscravingsatvaniaskitchen #learntocookwithvania #recipeshare #healthyrecipes #recipeideas #salmondinner #grilledsalmon #quickandeasymeals #quickandeasyfood #quickandeasyrecipes #quickanddelicious #londonfoodblog #londonfoodie #londonfoodies #londonfoodblogger #londonfoodguide #londonfoodscene #londonfoodporn #londonfoodbloggers #goanfoodblogger #goanfoodblog #goanfoodies #seafoodlover #salmonrecipe #salmonrecipes (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbfEM9RDkE9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Story time: Last Saturday as I was getting home from work once I got off the bus, I found a little purse fallen at the junction about 5mins from home. On opening it I found it to be a young teens purse and her ID even had her parents name and a number. I couldn’t reach the number but did a little research on Facebook and found her parents and messaged both of them inquiring if I was looking for the same person. I had decided to wait a week and then drop it off at a police station just incase I don’t get a reply. They replied today. Long story short. The purse was given back to the owner. As a thank you she got me these lovely flowers. My intention to find the right person was to do my little act of kindness but in return that little girl’s mum made my day. Since morning I’ve been a little anxious after many many days as I could feel the pain my close family are feeling and going through right now and this was a little reminder that good people do exist and just her gesture of these flowers just made my day. A stranger made me smile today. Calmed my anxiety. Thank you God for reminding me that you’ve got tomorrow under control. Amen! 🙏🏼 P.S: Tomorrow early morning or tonight before sleeping say a little prayer for someone very close to us who is have major surgery. @trulysoulfully #trulysoulfully #actofkindness #dailykindness #onlykindnessmatters #kindness #lifestyleblogger #lifestyleblog #lifestyleblog #lifestyleblogging #frommyhearttoyours #heartfelt (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbazOwvjRMA/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve always had @dacunhanigel ask me why I get up an hour or an hour and half early before I have to leave for work in the morning. I’m someone who loves taking my time. When I get up early, I have enough time to do some self care, meditate, journal, have a cup of coffee and pray before I leave for work. From today onwards, I’ve decided to try and get up 15mins earlier every day until I’ve set my body clock to get up atleast by 5-5:30am to start with because we normally do have late nights because of the nature of our full time jobs. But giving yourself that little extra time in the morning can actually set the tone for the whole day! I believe that every day is a new start. It is never too late to start over or begin some new tradition or way of life. At least that is what I believe in. I enjoyed @therisingcircle’s 10min meditation this morning! It is something you’ll love started by @vexking, @kaushal and some others. Do give them a follow. Make sure to head on to their YouTube channel to find the 10min meditation they uploaded yesterday. What are your thoughts about forming this new habit? Would you join me in getting up 15mins earlier every morning? Leave a comment and let me know! Tag someone you think would need to hear this! ✨ Also, Happy Spring! Spring has officially sprung!! Let the sunshine bring better and brighter days in your life. ✨ #trulysoulfully #trulysoulfullycurates #trulysoulfullyselfcare #morningroutine #morningmotivation #morningmessage #morningmood #morningvibes #morninginspiration #morningquotes #morningmessage #newroutine #newroutines #habitsofhealth #healthyhabits #newhabits #newhabit #newhabitsnewresults #settingthetone #lifestyleblogger #londonlifestyleblogger #londonlife #londonlifecoach #londoncity (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbXZj1JN0KU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Okay! I didn’t really do a fab job with the puris considering this was probably my 3rd or 4th attempt in making them half heartedly. I preferred Avozinha making them. She’d make the Goan version called Vode. Anyway, today I have to share this potato and peas curry. It’s simply delicious! This is an Odia version. Recipe courtesy @silanaveena14 I added a few extras and made it my own. This recipe is a must have if you’re looking for veg options to cook this Lenten season. This is how I made it today for dinner. Boil, peel and mash about 3-4 large potatoes. Keep aside. In a pot, heat some oil. To that add mustard seeds, asafoetida, urad dal and curry leaves. Leave them to crackle. Add some finely chopped onions, a coarse paste of freshly pounded garlic, ginger and green chillies and finally some tomatoes.. sauté it until the tomatoes turn mushy. Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder and garam masala to this and stir in little water. Next add some peas and more water as preferred. Add the potatoes and 1tbsp of besan or wheat flour. Stir well and let the gravy simmer. Add salt to taste and your dish is ready to be eaten with hot puris. This gravy can also be eaten with curd rice, chapatis, dosas, puris, etc. Definitely give this recipe a try or save it to be made on a later day. I’d say have a folder on Instagram called Veg dishes to make this Lent and just save this recipe there. You’ve got to try it out. Follow @trulysoulfullyeats for more veg recipes the next few days. It’s a recipe with very few basic ingredients and can even feed a crowd. If you try it out, let me know.

Happy Pancake Tuesday!! The best Tuesday of the year!! Tomorrow marks the beginning of the Lenten season. My prayers go to all those suffering because of war all around the world. The world needs peace. Ukraine needs peace to prevail and it needs our support. #cookforukraine is a fundraiser started by @oliahercules and @alissatimoshkina (find the link in @alissatimoshkina’s stories) and what better day than today to support them. I made some Ukrainian Cheese Pancakes or Syrniki. They’re so so good by themselves but you can always add extra toppings, jam, sour cream or honey. They’re sweet, fluffy, cheesy and everything good!! I’ve made this recipe with Ricotta Cheese but you can use some Russian farmers cheese. ✨2 nos eggs ✨1tsp Madagascan Vanilla Extract ✨250g Ricotta Cheese ✨1/4 cup caster sugar ✨A pinch of Himalayan salt ✨1/2 cup All purpose flour and 1/2 cup to roll the batter in before frying ✨1/2 tsp baking powder ✨1/2 cup dried cranberries ✨Butter for frying, I used @lurpakuk Whisk the eggs,vanilla extract and ricotta together until light. Add sugar and salt and mix well. Next add the dry ingredients and fold in well. I added cranberries but you can add raisins or any other dried fruits if you prefer or just make them plain. In a plate spread 1/2 cup flour. Put a spoonful of the batter and coat it well with flour. Fry these in oil or butter and enjoy with a nice hot cuppa. These pancakes are so homely and comforting.

Yesterday was a day well spent with family. I needed it. There’s just so much happening around the world and within the family. Sometimes it’s just so difficult to cope but this is life. Time heals. The pain doesn’t go away but you learn to live with it. You accept the change and become stronger. Here’s a gentle reminder to start therapy if you’re thinking about it. Prioritise and focus on your mental health more. Nothing else matters. My heart and prayers go out to everyone suffering in Ukraine and Russia and all those who don’t want war. May peace prevail, everywhere. What did you do last night~ Friday night? @trulysoulfully @trulysoulfullyeats #trulysoulfullyeats #learntocookwithvania #deliciouscravingsatvaniaskitchen #trulysoulfullyselfcare #trulysoulfully #motivation #foodblogfeed #ukraine #cookforukraine #prayforukraine #healtheworld #londonfoodblog #londonfoodblogger #londonfoodfeed #londonfoodguide #londonfoodscene #londonfoodbabes #londonfoodbloggers #lifestyleblogger #londonlife #myopenkitchen #foodforfoodies #eeeeeats (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CacnDt1IjsI/?utm_medium=tumblr
