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

Bali is an Indonesian island known for its pristine beaches , beautiful temples and street food. There are a host of Indonesian delicacies that one would come across while walking along any road in this beautiful island. The food they serve in these small eateries ( “Warungs”) looks tempting and is too difficult to resist. Since the Indonesian Rupaiah runs in lakhs don’t be surprised if you are asked to pay up two lakh rupees for a simple dish. On my recent trip to Bali I ended up gorging on authentic Balinese/Indonesian cuisine ; right from street vendors to fancy hotels. The best part is they customize their non-veg dishes to suit the vegetarian palate too. Here are a few items that I devoured on the trip and absolutely loved. 1) Bakso This is a traditional Indonesian delicacy and one of the most popular ones. You will find plenty of street vendors selling Bakso along the streets of Bali. It is an eclectic mix of  tangy,spicy soup, meat balls, wontons, tofu and noodles....
