Time for #sundaybreakfaststories Here is a mini basket full of #pakoda or pakora which are deep fried spiced lentil balls, much like falafel. You can make it using onions, potatoes, corns or a mix of veggies and lentils, fry them up in hot oil and serve them warm with a bowl of mint chutney. They make perfect snacks for a lazy rainy day or you can serve them up for breakfast to start an indulgent Sunday! . . . . . . . . . . #sundaymood #breakfast #indianfood #pakora #indianstreetfood #yumm #yummyy #buzzfeast #indianblogger #indianfoodinchicago #foodielife #chicagogrammers #chicity #chicagofoodie #foodpicoftheday #bonappetit #ruchkarmejwani #marathifood #maratifoodblogger #mumbaichimulgi #myfoodiestories #myfoodietrails

We've been living at Oak Park for more than a year now and Scoville Park is our favorite place to hangout and now it is also Brunos favorite place to be! 🐶 We love lazing on the lawns and spending hours in the summer sun! Next time you are in Oak Park do spend sometime relaxing here and maybe we can meet up too😊 . . . . . . . . . #oakparkil #oakpark #oakparkblogger #scovillepark #publicparks #dogsofinstagram #borador #boradorsofinstagram #brunotheborador #puppy #summer #indianblogger #indianinchicago #indianinoakpark #ladyblogger #myfoodietrails

Welcome to my new weekly feature - Sunday Breakfast Stories. Inspired by the viral videos of #breakfastsaroundtheworld I wanted to do something closer to home Indian breakfasts are known to pack a lot of nutrition and flavor in them, also there are loads of breakfast options!! Most of the local dishes are unknown to many...so in the quest of trying to cook and experience as much as Indian breakfast options as possible...heres my new feature - Sunday Breakfast stories with Breakfasts Around India . . Todays first breakfast is a dish native to Maharashtra state in India Misal or मिसळ is a curry make of sprouted mung beans (hence protein packed) spiced with local spices (i like to make mine mildly spicy but it does get crazy spicy) and it was also voted as the tastiest vegetarian meal in the world!! It is topped with freshly chopped onions, cilantro, crisps and a piece of lime ..it is usually served with bread rolls or Pav Slightly heavy on the palate, this is an ideal option of heavy breakfast/brunch or even a meal. Do give it a try next time you want to grab something local in Mumbai . . . . . . . #indianbreakfast #sundaybreakfaststories #weeklyfeature #myfoodiekitchen #myfoodiestories #indianfood #breakfast #brunch #vegetarian #localfood #mumbaifood #marathifood #ruchkarmejwani #maharashtrianfood #misal #misalpav #foodblogger #breakfastclub #moodyfood #soulfood #comfortfood #indianinchicago #indianinoakpark #ladyblogger #foodpicoftheday #myfoodietrails

Spring break started with a birthday celebration in house which prompted me to try out this fresh strawberry cake inspired from the Homemade Strawberry Cake recipe by @sallysbakeblog I did some minor tweaks to the recipe and the frosting and stuck to simple decorations...end result a delicious soft fruity cake with natural flavors and no added color! Check out the recipe now blogged in the #linkinbio PS: there's even a recipe card which you can print and save for later! Happy baking💕 . . . . . . . . . #strawberrycake #strawberry #desserts #baking #homebaking #birthdaycake #birthdaycakerecipe #strawberrycakerecipe #simplerecipes #sallysbakingaddiction #homecooking #OakPark #UnitedStates #Illinois #heart #love #fruit #romance #sweet #food #foodporn #foodie #foodpicoftheday #foodpic #foodgasm #instafood #yummie #celebration #birthday
