A mundane morning ... .. This was shot as imprompt A mundane morning ...
..
This was shot as impromptu as it can be. As I was getting ready to wrap up lunch before starting my work day, the beautiful light and steam came together coincidentally to inspire. That led to a quick set up and minimum props leading to this image. BTS in stories. 

Though it was perfect for #nopropchallenge by @msaggarwal #madaboutkitchen 
..
This shot is also my entry to Ritu’s “Storytelling With Props” challenge. @foodphotobiteswithritu @twiggstudios @happytummybyritumbhara #foodphotobiteswithritu.

Happy Friday Folks!!

Earthen.... . One more of my fav dish in my fav e Earthen....
. 
One more of my fav dish in my fav earthen pots. Made chinna vengaya vatha kuzhambu aka Pearl onion in Tamarind gravy over the weekend. I by default grab this earthen pot to make this dish as I feel it enhances the flavors. This is one of my treasured earthen pots collection and I absolutely love cooking in these. 
. 
From Photography perspective... I have been looking to expand my light sources. Studied lights from different windows and positions in the house last week. It's been challenging but great learning. This was much needed to keep motivated and focused on learning to keep moving forward. 

Happy Monday!!

Tomato salan....  Not the most popular versionn Tomato salan.... 

Not the most popular versionn of salan but it's the easy one. This spicy tangy side is a perfect match for pulao or roti. This doubled as lunch and dinner midweek. Paired with rice for lunch and roti for dinner.. 2 meals sorted with this one.
..
Quick recipe... 
I roasted and ground Equal parts of peanuts, sesame seeds, coconut with ginger, garlic, fennel seeds, red chillies, cloves and cinnamon. I also added some 1/2 small onions with the mix while grinding.

Then in a pan heat oil and some cumin. Add the ground mix, tamarind paste, salt and pinch of sugar and cook till oil separates and its cooked well. Add turmeric, coriander, cumin and biryani masala( yes that is my secret ingredient) to it  and let it all cook for a bit.  Now add water to adjust consistency and chopped tomato and let this cook for another few mins. The tomato should be still soft and not mushy. Serve it with hot rice or roti.

Tethered...  .. I have just started tethered sho Tethered...
 ..
I have just started tethered shooting whenever possible. I still have mixed feelings about it and feel I am limited with movement in my very very small 'Studio' space. That said I have found it helpful to get a good view of my composition most times, get the right focus and image sharpness. 
At the moment I feel more comfortable tethering when I don't do lot of changes to the scene other than small adjustments. 

So hoping to get a hang of it over time and uncover more possibilities.

SUNday.... .. I have been meaning to share this im SUNday....
..
I have been meaning to share this image firm the time I shot it. When I saw this light peeking in from the top-right  widow it reminded me of some of the most spectacular sunsets we have seen during our visit to this magical place. The light here kept reminding me of our trip to Banff-Jasper NPs a couple of years back. One of the best vacations we have been on. The feeling of oneness with nature is just indescribable. Swipe to see the light inspiration.

Podi Idli - A pancake equivalent I grew up eating. Podi Idli - A pancake equivalent I grew up eating.... Pancakes are relatively new food for me. Had never heard of it 10-15ys back. I grew up eating Idlis for breakfast, dinner ,'Tiffin' aka snack and sometimes for Lunch too (of course not on the same day )..
Even today amma never forgets to remind that I should make idli for  breakfast every now and then.
..
So when I read @pink.lemon.tree' s caption today "Embrace our food heritage. Why ? Because that’s the key to health..." I could totally relate. 

Hence I wanted to share the most familiar breakfast from my kitchen this "Pancake day'.
