Panfusine

#supper - freshly shucked #peas, roasted #fingerling #potatoes and grilled #paneer simmered in a gravy of #onions, ginger, #garlic and spices. Debating whether to pair it with #rice or #roti. #glutenfree #vegetarian

#dinner - #falafel made with freshly shucked green #garbanzo stuffed into these ultra convenient rectangular #pita pockets from @toufayan . Whipped up tahini with a bit of #kefir, #oliveoil and some #zaatar and added it to the pockets with some #tomato, #cucumber , #springonion #salad #vegan #mediterranean #healthyfood

#kiwiberries from @melissasproduce - picked these up @wegmans in #bridgewater. Grape sized non fuzzy bite sized versions of #kiwifruit .

Kept the #prasadam a simple theme for #ramnavami this year. #panakam made with #meyerlemon , #jaggery , ground #ginger and #cardamom, #neermor - a light savory beverage made with #buttermilk ( I managed to get the real thing, free of additives, a brand called #kateshomemadebutter from @wholefoodsbridgewater ) and a #kosmalli (salad) made with red carrots, hysldrated mung and coconut.

Theee different varieties of #mandarins by increasing size - #pixie, #suki & the large #sumo. From @wholefoodsbridgewater

Diced #pineapples sprinkled simply with a mix of #paprika and salt

Waiting out the #noreaster with a comfort lunch of #vadapav and #masalachai . Need to make another batch of those rolls I baked yesterday. #comfortfood #mumbaistreetfood

Instead of Bali g who large loaves decided to split one half of the kefir kneaded dough and shape it into small rolls and bake it in a cast iron scone / biscuit pan. Waiting to cool before it gets eaten as caprese sandwiches.

Preparing for the latest nor’easter by baking#bread. Kneaded the dough with a mix of diluted #kefir , proofed and baked it in a @lecreuset #balti (The smaller 2 qt size) .

#kadipakoda - a beloved traditional dish made with #yogurt and #garbanzoflour simmered with d epfried dumplings or #fritters . I added the #bananablossom fritter I’d made earlier. Plan to serve this with hot plain #basmatirice . #glutenfree #vegetarian

#fritters made with #bananablossom . It takes longer to prep and chop the immature blooms than it takes to dry and scarf down these nuggets. The chopped blossoms are mixed with #chikpeaflour , #riceflour and spices including dried #mexicanoregano and deep fried. You can pair it with just about any condiment you want, but the easiest within reach was a bottle of #tomatoketchup and #chatmasala . #glutenfree #vegan #f52grams

#happiness is.. effortlessly flipping a perfectly browned #dosai ( rice and lentil #crepe), whipping up a batch of my daughter’sfavorite #schoollunch #vegan #glutenfree

#guava - just the way I like it. Mildly sweet, yet with that snappy crunch unique to the almost ripened fruit. Quartered and dipped into a mix of salt & chili powder.

It’s not just the fruits that are edible when it comes to a banana plant.. the stem (the core to be precise) is used in #southindia to make a delicate tasting #kootu in a #coconut , #cumin and Arbil #chili sauce. The stem is diced (immersed in a dilute kefir solution to prevent oxidation), boiled in #turmeric fortified water with #curryleaf until the grassy vegetal aroma fades away and then simmered in the spiced coconut blend. A tempering of #mustard and red Chili finishes the dish. #glutenfree #vegan

Time for a seasonal favorite.. immature raw mangoes sliced thin and salted. Two ingredients creating a flavorful quick #achar , a beloved favorite in #southindia known as ‘keethu’ #manga #condiments #pickle

Freshly shucked #blackeyedpeas tossed with diced #tomato , #cucumber and the whites of scallions. Spiced with #chatmasala and #limejuice , garnished with a bit of #sev and roasted #peanuts. #vegan #healthy #glutenfree #salad
