Rasgullas, sweet round balls of bliss. For most Indians. :) Made from paneer and soaked in honey sweet sugary syrup, for me whenever I eat one, its like I see a piece of my childhood come back each time. That is a priceless connection especially if you are far from your loved Read More »

Raspberry Sorbet

July 3, 2020 by Rakhee

It was for my birthday that I received a Kitchenaid machine many years ago. Five years to be precise. I didn't want a machine like the Kitchenaid. I resisted and complained about getting it. Yes I did! Because before that I did every kind of baking with a handheld mixer and I was Read More »

Hi there everyone! I'm pleased to let you all know Hi there everyone! I'm pleased to let you all know that I will be the guest mentor for Season2 of #CompositionCollab from December 7th to 25th with the lovely Indu @alettertomyfood, Sangeeta of @sang.eater and Thushara of @minion_n_me. These guys are so talented and such an inspiration.

This month's theme is all about Composing with Colour! And here are your topics:
1 Dec 7-13th - COLOR BLOCK - using bold or solid colours to make a striking statement
2 Dec 14-20th - ACHROME/MONOCHROME - using different shades and tones of the same colour
3 Dec 21st-25th - COLORS OF JOY - using colours that bring out the emotion of happiness in you.
.
I hope a lot of you will take part and learn along. I will be offering the way I use color. Most of all please have fun! ❤

I'm so glad that my last post resonated so deeply I'm so glad that my last post resonated so deeply with you all. Instagram is a fickle machine. If you don't shower it with attention it will desert you. 
This last week I haven't been much on it and I have lost followers, thats how superficial this all is. I implore you to not fall into the trap of some "selling" of how you can gain followers. The countless tips and tricks to do so. It may work initially but it will eat away at your soul. 
.
Be true to you! And when you are, the right people will come to you. There is no point projecting a false image because it will make you unhappy. I know a lot of us depend on Instagram for work. I know I do. But remember the cost of not being your true self.

Other than that enjoy this space. Learn. Grow. Or just have fun.

This past week I did a small presentation for precious 10 year olds on social media. I am disheartened by how negatively social media is effecting our kids and not to mention you and me too.
If you are feeling down, its easy for me to say don't let it. That's too simple. I want you to evaluate your feelings. Ask yourself why you feel this way. Put it down on paper and see in black and white how irrational it is. It will help you to jump out of your mode. Do it again and again, till you are free from the hold of social media. And then do it again when you relapse. We are all human and we want validation. That's ok but we must check ourselves when we fall back. It can do so much good but remember it is here also to make you feel inadequate. Till we acknowledge that we can't fix the problem.
.
Please know you're amazing. 💕

Thank you to everyone for showcasing this amazing ingredient. Our homes would be not be complete without it. 
In the past years it is an ingredient that has found popularity in the west. With all due respect though,  knowing how to use this amazing ingredient  still lies with us Indians. Its a part of our every day lives. And I love it.

And what would our life be without dal makhani? I know my life would not be the same 😁 so here i combine the dal with ghee and of course you have a dish that is soul satisfying that you never wish for anything ever again!

So keep your images coming. I'm loving it!
