Anshu's Food Odyssey

Hello Everyone, today I am here with a very simple yet a very delicious and healthy breakfast recipe - Mango Oats Smoothie .  Its summer time and in such scorching heat, I mostly prefer taking a very light yet filling and healthy meal in my breakfast, which mostly consists of idli chutney , a light vegetable sandwich, poha, sooji upma, vermicelli vegetable upma etc. Lately, this list has got a very easy and delicious addition - fruit smoothies. Made with some overnight soaked oats, yogurt, milk and fruit puree, it comes out really tasty and at the same time, is quite filling which keeps you full for a long time. Needless to say, its also a very good option for those trying to shed some extra kilos.  Just for my vegan friends, I would like to mention that thought the smoothie here is made using dairy milk and yogurt, if you are vegan, you can definitely go for plant based options like soya or coconut milk and yogurt. I am sure, it would come out even more tastier. If you try out t

I am always on a look out for recipes that are easy and quick to put together. One of my favorite amongst such recipes is of classic Spaghetti Aglio-e-Olio . Simple boiled pasta drizzled with garlic infused olive oil, a dash of chili flakes and some Parmesan makes for a perfect week night dinner when I am too tired or lazy to make anything elaborate.

Fish has always been my favorite when it comes to non-vegetarian food. Loaded with vital nutrients such as proteins, vitamin D and vitamin B12 plus the omega-3 fatty acids, no wonder it is counted amongst the most healthiest foods on earth. While this delicate specie can be cooked in hundreds of ways, the dhaba style fish curry is something which me and my husband relish the most. Very simple and easy to make with no fancy ingredients required, it gets cooked in a whiff of time and tastes simply awesome with just the plain steamed rice; serve this combo to my husband for the Sunday dinner and he would be the most happiest person on the planet 😛. If like us, you too are a true fan of fish, then this simple, rustic yet exotic recipe is just for you.
