Mini cheesecake cups. One of the many ways @duru_j spoils @geetatilokani and I. Just major appreciation for mom 😁

The awesome folks at @paperboatdrinks sent across some of their new products - different flavours of buttermilk/chaas, enriched with vit d & vit b12!
.
Taste wise these drinks are on point! My favourite is the southern masala buttermilk with that beautiful hit of chillies hitting the right spot!! And then the bonus is the added vitamin benefits overall! If you see these in a store, do give it a try and let me know if you liked em!

Vegan Shoyu ramen bowl with lots of toppings! Dashi made with kombu and shitake. Toppings - stir fried carrots, bok choy, baby corn, mushrooms. I added crispy fried Channa (chickpeas) as a topping as well, something I've never had in any ramen bowl in India or Japan for that matter. This particular topping was had only once 4 years ago at @momofukunoodlebar by @davidchang when I had the vegetarian ramen bowl in NY, and decided to re-create it. Definitely give it a try as a ramen topping. Last topping is vegan char siu (smoked bbq flavour), fyi you won't get this in India.
.
I only wish I had proper ramen bowls at home, but you make do with what you have. Also always remember to slurp while having Ramen!
.
How was the taste you ask? Four bowls devoured by the family 😁

I made a sweetcorn ice cream with balsamic vinegar swirls 😁. You might think sweetcorn ice cream is an unusual flavour, but it's not that uncommon in South East Asia. I clearly remember the first time I tasted sweetcorn ice cream in Singapore. I was sent down to the 'mama shop' (a small garage type grocery shop that is located within a cluster of 4-6 HDB high rises) to buy ice cream. It was an honest mistake that I bought a tub of sweetcorn instead of vanilla ice cream, but after I tried it I was hooked!! There are even more unusual flavours like red bean, durian, etc., But that's a story for another day...
.
Anyway back to the ice cream at hand. I followed @diningwithskyler recipe of a no churn sweetcorn and blueberries ice cream, but made changes along the way. I know I didn't have blueberries, and was prepared to have the ice cream as is, but once I tasted it before setting it I just figured that balsamic vinegar would be a perfect match, that's just how flavours work in my head I guess. And in went a couple of spoons to create the swirls. The ice cream got over in one sitting 🙈

I always enjoyed eating Baingan Bharta at restaurants, so this time I made it at home. Was surprised how easy it is. Will definitely make again 👍.

Recently @duru_j (mom) made some gulab jamuns. Now this recipe is something my nani (maternal grandmother) came up with and it's not the regular way to make gulab jamuns. They are super soft and super delicious. I've never had these kind of gulab jamuns at any restaurant, sweet shop anywhere else in the world. Some of my friends have had the good fortune of getting to try some of them. Unfortunately, the recipe will not be shared as yet, you know, one of those secret family recipes 😉. It is handed down from generation to generation.

Less Bartan Cooking is a concept that I realised was a much needed thing where the food is more than basic, but we use as little bartans, utensils, etc. that require to be cleaned afterwards. Most recipe videos show you a studio side of things, but in reality, as a lot of us have learned over these months is that bartans are a hassle!! The first episode had Amrita from Life Ki Recipe teach me how to make a Quinoa Khichdi and that's live on the Pet Pujaris IGTV as well - instagram.com/petpujaris, and here's the edited version of it. I must say it was delicious and the cleaning afterward was super fast 👌

The first thing I thought when I tasted this was - I wish my Nana (Maternal Grandfather) was alive, so he could try the Palak Paneer I made. I have a very fond memory associated with palak paneer and my nana. It was one of those many summer vacations in Singapore and my Nani said she was making palak paneer, but in fact, it was the Sindhi aisi style palak with paneer in it. My Nana was really bored with it because she always made that and not the real thing. In the spur of the moment, he said we're not eating lunch at home and I'm going to take you for some real palak paneer. We hopped on a bus and headed into town to one of the only Indian fast food restaurants at that time (I'm talking about 15+ years ago) - Komala's. Both of us ordered the Palak Paneer & Naan set meal and at the first bite, he exclaimed with joy, "This is real palak paneer!" It was just the two of us, my parents, the rest of the family, were all at home without the 'real' palak paneer. After our lunch, he packed an extra portion for my Nani to show her what Palak Paneer is supposed to be 😅.

Artisan Bread. This was my 4th attempt at bread during lockdown and 2nd successful one! Also this was a no knead method with some modification (wheat mixed in as well), result was super delicious as you can see!

Home made moong dal Khasta Kachoris made by @geetatilokani . She just asked me what I felt like eating and I said kachoris, she didn't say anything after that.

Without realising it, she was in the kitchen toiling away and boom, surprised the hell out of me! They were simply fabulous!

Mango salsa with Mexican dirty rice. Love making this, only during season though. There's also some kachi kairi (raw mango) in there for some extra zing.
