I am super excited for this new phase 💪💚💪💚💪💚

Crossfit is a big part of my daily routine. I train 2-3 times a week at Crossfit Uithoorn .

Crossfit involves constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity to build an overall fit body.

We train to not lose weight but to become stronger and stay fit.

The coaches at UCF take extra care to make sure that we all feel motivated no matter what our level is.

On 15th June, we have Throwdown - a series of workouts, and I am glad to announce that I will be serving a recovery salad to all athletes and viewers.

A salad full of fibre, good protein and fat, DELICIOUSLY served with my homemade dressing 🤩😋

Don't miss it!

Be there and enjoy the workouts and my salads. 🤩❣️

Salads are not meant for parties 😐

Salads are boring 🙄

Salads are too healthy to be eaten every day 🫨

I hear this quite often, but trust me , these bites can make any party bright 🌞 🤩🥳

Be it a birthday party, a bbq party, or just having fun with family and friends. It is super duper DELI-CI-OUS!

Thankyou for ordering these mango and sweet potato boats, which I served with a homemade cracker and topped it with mango chutney dressing..

Photo- potato and peas pinwheels getting ready to hit the oven for a client's birthday party this weekend. 😋

Have a great weekend 😀

Home made pesto to start another cold week in the Netherlands. This keeps me going and happy.

This time, i coarsely grinded the herbs and the nuts and added olive oil just to bring it all together.

My take included a few black pepper corns, a mix of walnuts, cashews and peanuts, and a pinch of sesam seeds along with basil and parsley. I used normal cheese since ran out of parmesan cheese.

I ate it on a leftover naan topped with boiled eggs and balsamico. Do try this combo.
It was mind-blowing !

Wishing you a sunny week ahead. Stay healthy and eat fresh. 💕😊❣️

Photo of me being happy with food, friends, and sunshine 🌞 ☀️

Have a great weekend.

Eating vegetables should be a treat to the eyes and to the mouth. This simple salad makes me remind of the white radish we ate back home in India. Tangy and DELI-CI-OUS, a bit spicy 🌶 too.

To make it -

I washed and sliced the radish.

For the dressing -

Lemon juice
Olive oil
Salt
Cayenne pepper
Apple cider
Roasted cumin seed powder
Chopped fresh Dill.

Do make it and enjoy the simplest of salad.

Can't get any easier, right?

Cutting, chopping, weighing, mixing , working as a team, and loads of FUN.

This summarises the recent kids' cooking workshop I conducted.
Are your kids enthusiastic to learn new skills? Add cooking to the list and send me a dm. I will teach them to make easy, healthy, and delicious food. 😋

And my workshops take care of allergies as well. This cupcake recipe is Lactose free. 👌😋😀

I wish you all a tasty, healthy week! Don't forget to eat your greens 💚💚💚💚💚💚

Growing up, we ate Indian food every day, which was warm, comforting, and freshly cooked. I can't imagine how my mom managed that day after day because it's DIFFICULT! I can't manage to do it for my kids, but I do try to make it as fresh, colourful, and healthy as possible.

Dinner last night was a combination of veggies and pasta, which is a favourite in our house. 😍😍
I have made my kids love fennel ❤️Do you like Fennel?

Thanks to an intense ZAAI session yesterday, this meal was ready in 20 minutes - had no energy to stand longer 😑.

With a drizzle of good quality balsamico( modena), we were happy and full.

Wishing you all a lovely day...weekend is just around the corner , guys 😍😍😉

INDIA ❤️ 🇮🇳

My recent trip to India was full of flavours, loads of home cooked food, fresh seasonal veggies, and sweet treats. I'm sharing a few here( please don't kill me if this makes you hungry) 😉🤣

1) pani puri chaat made with homemade chutneys and spices
2) food on the go. This was my packed lunch, which had potatoes and green peas cooked in Indian spices along with parathas ( Indian bread) 🚙🚗
3) All the fresh greens I enjoyed - fresh fenugreek, fresh green peas, carrots, and gourd. 💚💚
4) Guava - my favourite fruit - sweet and crunchy 😋😋
5) Vada pao with fried green chilli pakoda on the side- street food in the western part of India but this one was made at home from scratch. 😋😀
6) A daily home meal ( so many options each day)
7) This is a plate filled with sweets- carrot halwa, jalebi, pista ice cream, and rasmalai
8) No trip is complete without shopping, and this was at a jewellery store where Chai was served to all clients . 😀

COBRA MUSEUM Amstelveen. I was invited to put a stall with my snacks - savoury and sweet to the guests who came for skating, salsa dance lessons and also to visit the museum. Here is a glimpse of this fantastic evening! Thanks, and , for the opportunity. It was a great experience to meet and greet so many fellow Amstelveeners 😊 😀

Food, friends, family, and laughter...what more to ask on your birthday.
I had a great and blessed celebration, though missed a few dear friends.
Food was simple and just added a reason for us to chat longer over endless cups of coffee and tea . My house is full of flowers now 💐 😍.
Thank you all who wished me. ❤️

❣️❣️❤️❤️FANTASTIC NEWS❤️❤️❣️❣️

Our cookbook at was launched yesterday . The book includes recipes and stories of 10 women who come from different parts of the world 🌎 . The common language of love for food is what unites us and makes this book unique.
I am so fortunate to be one of these amazing ladies whose recipes are also in the book.
My recipes are inspired by my mom, mom- in -law and grandmother.
What more to say- If you wish to get your copy, you can order it via bol.com . It's a perfect gift for all food lovers. 😋

💕- can't believe I signed some books yesterday ( see the third photo)
Btw I am wearing my mom's saree 🥻 🤪

Besides cooking, I enjoy training at our crossfit box . Yesterday, at a gymnastics clinic conducted by and , I attempted my first handstand 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️. (Great coaches, btw). It was a goal come true! Thanks, and , for the initiative. Still with a lot of body pain, but so happy that I could learn the skill. Also made some vegan mango lassi and energy balls for the two ladies, and they loved it. 😍 😋

Tray bakes are a total game changer for any dinner preparation 🙌 😋
I combined cauliflower, celery, and sweet paprika. Grilled them in the oven for 30mins(to get some charred ones) at 220C .
I later dressed them with a dressing with mint, dill, yoghurt, and lots of lemon 🍋 😋 .

We ate it with red lentils ( dal) and some fresh roti. Check the video where my rotis to my delight were all puffing and fluffy 😋 ( my dream come true each time I make rotis). Thanks, mom, for all the lessons in the kitchen 😊 ☺️ .

Hope you are enjoying the sun and the warm days, which might not last long 😉.

Happy Friday, folks!

The last few days have been super busy with work , birthdays, and lots of fun. Sharing a few happenings -

1- Victoria sponge cake with fresh fruits for my daughter's 18th bday 🎂 🥳
2. The table charcuterie with all the yummy , crunch bites for my girl 's party
3. Can you spot 18 and A on the two ends of the table created by ?
4. My dear friend and neighbour asked me to create a menu for her son's birthday and also his farewell as he left for Barcelona for his first job. Check the menu !
5. Happy me after the food was ready and my friend was excited!

In case you are planning a special event for a loved one, send me a dm. I am assure you a delicious party 🥳 🎉 😋

Another excellent way of adding flavour to your salad or food is dried herbs.
Dry mint is one such flavour booster. Its freshness is not completely lost when dried in the shadow and stored in an airtight container.

My pantry always has dried mint thanks to my mom and mom in law who take all the pains of drying it. I later realised that it could also be bought in the Indian stores🙄. But home dried is still special😍👌.
In India, we use it very often in pani puri, chaat, aam panna ( a fresh mango drink), and in many yoghurt dishes.

I used it today to create this tangy, sweet salad combining raw mango finely chopped, fresh coriander leaves, black salt, cumin powder , fresh red chillis, and lots of dried mint. A squeeze of lemon 🍋 juice and voila, a great summer salad! ☀️ 🥭 🥭

We plan to eat this with fish for dinner. What is your summer favourite salad?

How often do you dress your salad with fresh herbs?

This is a cucumber salad made with combining diced cucumber, chaat masala, rock salt, lemon juice, and lots of CORIANDER LEAVES - the star ingredient 🌟
Oops, I forgot the red 🌶 🌶
This is one of the simplest salads I can imagine and just so delicious 😋

Which is your favourite herb?

Just another day in the kitchen... some sunshine, and good food...

LOVE MY WORK and what it allows me to create.

We ate-
Aloo matar- curry with potatoes and green peas
Cucumber and carrot salad with fresh coriander
Jeera rice - cumin and onion rice
Grilled catfish with lots of lemon juice and fresh coriander...

Have a nice evening 😊 ☺️

My daughter Anvesha graduated from high school 🍾 🍾🍾🍾🎉🥳🎊.

The results came on Wednesday, and we couldn't be happier and more proud. This is how we celebrated - bites, bubbles, a flag 🇳🇱 a bag 🎒- a Dutch tradition to hang the flag, and a school bag to announce that your child had passed middleschool.

Happy us!❤️

What if I told you that salad could be a really filling meal? I am not talking about that boring side salad with lettuce, cucumber , and tomato salad that most of us are served. Those salads are not filling, and that is why most people are saying that they don't find salads satisfying and a meal.
A great meal salad has a protein, vitamin, fat, and fibre, not to mention tons of flavour and texture .
And the dressing is what brings it all together , the glorious sunshine to the salad.

This is what made me start making salads in the first place.

This is a green moong sprout salad with green beans and apple. The dressing is simple with mustard and olive oil. A vegan salad and a complete meal packed with deliciousness 😋 .

Hope you are enjoying the bright day as I love them. ❤️ 🌞 ☀️ 🌅

Thanks for posting this Little Plant Pantry . Really happy working with you.

Breakfast to celebrate the bright 🌞 ✨️

Turkish bread with tomato and green chilli eggs topped with chive and soya mayonnaise dressing .....topped with some homegrown radish leaves. Yummy...

Hope you are enjoying the warm days 😊 ☺️

Summer on a favourite plate 😍😍😍.

This corn and avocado salad is so simple yet delicious! 😋 We ate this as a side to our meal.

To make this -
1 cup corn from a tin 🌽
1 avocado- ripe ones are the best
Handful of chopped parsley
Dressing .....
1 tbsn olive oil
Juice of lemon
Salt
Cumin powder
Dried mint leaves

Mix it all in a bowl and serve it in a colourful plate - remember we eat with our eyes 👀 👁 😵 first....

SUPERFOOD!

I grew up eating this salad. My mom would make a different combination each time, and every time, it would be exceptionally tasty. When I started my company- Prerna's GoodFood, I knew this salad had to be in my assortiment.
Recently, I asked Zahra, who I follow on Instagram, to taste one of my salads and give her honest opinion. Swipe left to see what she wrote. ➡️
Zahra's Instagram page is truly a delight. Her association with Ottolenghi and his food is just so inspirational.
So when she tasted my salad, I was quite nervous.
It's so encouraging to receive such feedback.
Thanks, Zahra 🌺 😊

Did you know that a salad to be delicious needs a good dressing? Our grow strong salad comes with mustard and honey dressing along with flavours of Indian herbs . This makes the salad fingerlicking delicious 😋 😍

What do you plan to eat for lunch this week ? Something healthy and delicious?
