Spot such colorful #miamicock at #littlehavana or calle ocho where you can indulge in some delicious cuban food, songs and where life seems a fun party every evening 😀 stay tuned for more excerpts from my time in Miami!! . . . . . . #miamibeach #southbeach #florida #305 #miamilife #brickell #wynwood #doral #sobe #miaminights #southflorida #igersmiami #miamidade #miaminightlife #livmiami #mia #coralgables #miamievents #storymiami #miamipromoter #chicagoblogger #travelblogger #traveljournal #myfoodietrails
A homemade veggie feast - it was #ganeshchaturthi a few days ago and this is a 10 day long celebration which is ongoing in India. This is what I made to celebrate the first day! Clockwise from the top Chole/ Chickpea curry - boiled chickpeas are cooked in an aromatic onion tomato based curry with a splash of milk to give it a rich gravy base Rice served with spicy dal/lentil soup - a regular meal in Indian house holds is steamed rice topped with spicy lentil soup 'dal'. The dal is boiled and then tempered with #ghee , cumin and mustard along with freshly minced ginger garlic paste Fluffy rotis - i love making flatbreads #roti at home and these are the wholewheat #flatbread freshly made just before plating The Modak - a traditional Indian sweet dish made especially for this festival..this is similar to a dumpling stuffed with a coconut and jaggery based filling The crisp papad - its a crispy and tortilla like fritter which is often roasted or deep fried..ive roasted this one here The mixed vegetable curry #avial - this was the simplest to make - chopped cauliflower, carrots, beans and peas were cooked in a paste made of coconut milk and green chillies topped with a bit of turmeric and some yogurt for the tang. The whole meal was quite a lengthy process to make but totally worth it to celebrate the festival in our own little way away from home!! PS- DM me for the recipes 😊 . . . . . . @ruchkarmejwani #buzzfeast #indianfood #indianinchicago #desifood #homemade #homechef #homecookedmeal #thali #ganpatifestival #vegetarianrecipes #vegetarianfood #vegetables #foodiesofinstagram #foodblogger #traveljournal #travelblogger #igindia #mumbaifoodie #chitown #oakparkil #oakparkfoodie #myfoodietrails
