On the Gram
The first stop on our road trip to Sydney was at Albury/Wodonga. And a highlight was our vist to Lake Hume and Hume Dam. Managed by both Victorian and NSW authorities, it is a major dam across the Murray River. A spectacular view awaits you and a walk along the dam wall is a must do while you are there. Perfect for a picnic or a leisurely stroll, the views are majestic all around.

Badami Paneer - soft paneer cubes simmered in a gravy made with spiced and aromatic almond base. Paired with jeera rice (cumin-flavoured rice) and a salad, dinner would be a highly satisfying and delicious affair. Recipe link in bio....

This Chicken fried rice is one of the best I have ever made. It’s totally different to the Indo Chinese style or the typical Chinese style that I often make at home. Adapted from a Marion Grasby recipe, this is more of a modern Thai style chicken fried rice.It’s quite simple to put together but the flavours are incredible and I loved the fact that turmeric is a key ingredient which adds so much depth and flavour to the rice.This chicken fried rice is all about the toppings and condiments too. Fried eggs, fresh coriander, cucumbers, fried shallots, sambal oelek all create this wonderful texture and layers of flavour to the final dish. Recipe link in bio.....

Back after an amazing week long road trip to Sydney via Canberra. Exhausted, but so worth it and the fact that it was our first time made it all the more special. There's gonna be plenty of photographs coming your way but ofcourse I had to start with the iconic Sydney Opera House...no photograph will ever do justice to this architectural wonder. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(The current bushfire situation started while we still there and it saddens me especially more after visiting this beautiful state. Our thoughts and prayers with all those who are affected and hope the situation resolves soon).

Spiced Kangaroo Triangles.....a delicious, party snack with roo mince. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not a fan of roo? Then try it with any kind of meat mince or maybe a vegetarian version with spicy potatoes, crumbled paneer or maybe even ricotta and spinach. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One of the highlights for me personally this year at the Kidsbusiness Bloggers Brunch was meeting Angelique from @mummyswish. An independent charity that provides practical services (like delivering homemade meals, gardening services, home cleaning services, comfort packs for children etc...) to help alleviate some of the pressures that a family may face when the mum gets diagnosed with cancer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let us just take a moment to imagine ourselves in that position...we all know that mums are the backbone of any family and when we get struck by this dreadful disease, everything goes haywire. Even if in a small way, organizations like Mummy's Wish can be of great help in a real and practical way. Even a small amount in donation can be of immense help so do check out their website for more details; mummyswish.org.au ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(Featured here is the voice-recordable Comfort Bear; mums can record a personal message in their own voice for the children as a small comforting substitute while she is at hospital).

While living in Kerala (India), I completely took jackfruit for granted; it was commonly available (literally in the backyard) so not deemed exotic. Fast forward to my life in Melbourne now, where jackfruit has become the exotic ingredient. And needless to say, I crave it like crazy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have seen ripe jackfruit sold at some markets and Asian food stores but often looks so pitiful and is priced so high that I have never wanted to try it out. While good quality ripe or raw jackfruit still remains a rarity, I chanced upon frozen jackfruit seeds at a local Indian store. Of course I knew the taste won’t be as good as the fresh ones but because it has been years and the craving was at an all time high, I decided to get a pack and make my favourite dish with it, a thoran. The highlight of my meal along with rice, sambar, fish fry and garlic pickle.

Throwback to my first (and only) time attending the races. While I do enjoy the fashion, excitement etc.... I am not too sure if I will ever attend another one because of the scandals and news surrounding animal welfare. Quite divided on this topic actually. What are your thoughts? Do you have any strong opinions about the races?

Have you tried the South Indian style coconut rice? It's way different to other Asian styles and I think much more delicious too. Really fragrant and aromatic, the rice is cooked till fluffy and tossed with freshly grated coconut and tempered with spices and lentils. You ought to try this out; recipe link in bio.....
