Soya Chunks  Broccoli Curry  | Soya Chunks Curry Recipe | Indian Recipe I attribute my varied palate to my Appa and Amma and no one else. Although South-Indian, growing up I was exposed to so many cuisines and I am not talking about, "just in restaurants". I am talking about "in Amma's kitchen". She wasn't just the Idli-Dosa kinda mom. She always ensured that she cooked up a different storm in the kitchen everyday and for that, I cannot be more thankful. Way before this whole "vegan" thing came into existence, she introduced me to Soya Chunks. We did eat non-veg at home but not everyday. That's when the humble Soya Chunks/ Soya Nuggets come to the rescue. The texture and taste (according to me) are nothing when compared to chicken but there is something about these nuggets that strike a chord with my palate.  Soya chunks especially when cooked in a curry form absorb water and spices. You take one bite and you realize ho...

Best Indian Chicken Recipe| Easy Chicken Recipe | Chicken Recipe So my Amma is one of the best cooks I know and when it comes to non-vegetarian food she is better than the best. I miss the chicken, mutton, fish and prawns that she cooks. Every single day of my life :( On some days, when I am in the mood for it, I take it upon myself to marinate some chicken and come up with something that tastes and smells atleast remotely like something she cooks.  Below is a simple chicken recipe for a simple pan-fried chicken dish.

Dal Khichdi | How to make Moong Dal Khichdi |  Moong Dal Khichdi Recipe | Indian Recipe Over the past year and a half I have grown to like, love and enjoy cooking. Not just for the 'gram but as a therapy and a mode of relaxation too! It is so true when people say, some food is more comforting than the others and that is why they are called COMFORT FOOD! I feel so accomplished when I can cook an Indian Recipe, successfully! Recently and very often, I have been craving Dal Khichdi. I've tried making it a couple of times earlier and have always been disappointed with the texture. It is either too dry or the rice isn't mashed enough. This particular time, I NAILED the Dal Khichdi / Moong Dal Khichdi (I think) and that is why I am confident enough to pen down the recipe here, for you. I did not want to have just the Dal Khichdi so I made a side of Palak to go with it. (I have hyperlinked the Palak recipe here .) So let me tell you the whole process of getting this di...

This post for  Blueberry Mango Smoothie/  Mango Blueberry  Smoothie Recipe is from way back in 2017. This was one of my first smoothie recipes and I just thought I could and should share it with the world again.  Happy Reading Ya'll! :) So, I bought a new smoothie maker/blender from Lazada.sg and I couldn't be happier! Just eating fruits is so mainstream, blending them into a lip-smacking SMOOTHIE is THE way to go. The first time I used the Shake-n-Take Smoothie Blender , I decided to mix two of my favourite, "go-to" fruits: Mangoes and Blueberries and created a   Blueberry Mango Smoothie/  Mango Blueberry   Smoothie.  Whipping up a Blueberry Mango Smoothie/ Mango Blueberry Smoothie is quite easy and won't take up much of your time. The taste will leave you wanting more! Trust me.  Follow these steps and you will have a delicious  Blueberry Mango Smoothie/ Mango Blueberry Smoothie , ready-to-be-devoured, in a matter of mi...

As you all know, I am a die-hard fan of food and all things food related. I even have food dreams sometimes. If you are following my Insta or Snapchat stories, I've been posting a few gym gimmicks off-late. At 25, I am making a conscious effort to move towards a healthier, more fit life. Eat wholesome and healthy yet Eat yummy. (IT IS POSSIBLE!) A rigorous workout at the gym is always followed by plenty of water and a good snack.  I, unfortunately have no access to a cooking stove as of now therefore I do all my cooking in a microwave safe dish (WHAT A LIFESAVER!!!). It does get restricting at times but I manage. Last evening, I was craving egg and I had some veggies lying in the fridge that needed to be finished. So, I decided to whip up my version of a tummy-filling  Veggie Omelette .  Here is the recipe: Prep Time: 15 minutes (Approx.) Cook Time: 3 minutes (Approx.) Preparation I used Carrots and French Beans but one can use other veggies like Oni...

Just like retail therapy and art therapy, cooking works like therapy for me too! I unfortunately do not have access to a cooking stove at the moment and therefore have resorted to simple microwave cooking. I tried this out for the first time. Penne pasta with Ayam vegetable baked beans mixed with green beans and broccoli. It served as tasty and filling post-workout food! 🍝 #Lunchscenes #Dinnerscenes #Singapore #Singaporediaries #foodofsingapore #singaporefood #sgfoodblogger #eatbooksg #foodie #foodiegram #foodiediaries #saturdaydoneright #foodiesofsingapore #singaporefoodie #foodporn #foodgasm #lovinsingapore #ilovesg #sgfoodie #sgfoodies #sgfood #yoursingapore #bestfoodsingapore #sgfoodblogger #burpple #instafoodsg #foodinsg #visitsingapore #exploresingapore #pennepasta #italiancuisine A post shared by Anushree Tricannad (@anushreetricannad) on Jun 15, 2017 at 11:39pm PDT
