This weekend we decided to leave the routine back This weekend we decided to leave the routine back home and head to the beach... getting out of the house like this almost after 6 months. We are still not dining out so decided to whip up a quick fix meal that we can come back to.... 
..
Instant pot biryani : Simply used veggies ( potato, tomato, carrot and onions) at hand and cooked it with the  yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, coriander-cumin powder, turmeric, chili powder and biryani masala while the rice was soaking in water for 15-30 mins. Added the soaked rice and water to the pot once the veggies were 1/2 cooked. Adjusted salt and added chopped mint - coriander leaves and cooked it in manual for 3-4 mins. That is it, 30 min biryani is ready to go.

This is one of my fav ways of prepping biryani when I am short on time and absolutely love to pair this with onion Raita. 

Hope you all are having a great weekend!!

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

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.
