I absolutely love baking but don’t get enough opportunity to bake. When I do, I just grab the chance and bake my heart away. My friend Priya, who is also the source of all the South Indian recipes I know, is relocating to India. It’s so hard to bid adieu to a dear friend😒. Priya and I attend a sewing club once every week and have made some amazing friends. We all decided to throw Priya a small farewell party at the sewing club and hence I baked this carrot cake.

I am too lazy to sit down and relish the lush fruits hence gulping that smoothie glass or bowl makes an amazing breakfast for lazy souls like moi🙈. Generally smoothies are made using frozen fruits. I prefer using fresh fruits as I catch cold quite easily which triggers my sinus issue. If you love and have frozen fruits handy you can simply add them to your smoothie.

Karichi panha is a raw mango cooler which tickles ones taste buds leaving one feel refreshed. I simply love panha for it offers sweet, tangy and salty flavors, all three at the same time. My mom always used to welcome me home post work with a glass full of this goodness. I remember gulping it down to help me restore all the lost energy in the harsh sunny Indian…

I vividly remember our family dinner at restaurants where I always ordered lush green palak paneer with butter roti. I guess I used to have it only because I was a huge fan of Popeye (cartoon character) and wanted to become as strong as him. The child in me still loves palak paneer and I end up making it once every two weeks. I love this recipe for its so easy to make and is packed with so much goodness.
