DIWALI DAY IN SNAPSHOTS

Hey !!
So how was thy diwali??? hoping it was all sparkly and full of light... well we had guests over our place...although we didnt celebrated it much just decorated the house from inside and the the mandir(temple)....no lighting outside this time(reason). Did the pooja in the evening and then made the effigy of Govardhan ji for the Govardhan pooja today.
Here are the snapshots of the day....have a lookie!

AHOY THERE!!!

Hey all!!!
Today I am sharing with you all the first fruit (rather vegetable) of this season straight from our backyard.... How lovely is this feeling of plucking the veggies from your kitchen garden...organic and fresh and truly juicy and melting in the mouth. Have a lookie.

                                                                   Beans and One big fat brinjal
               

This single spongeguard is the last we had this season.

Three mighty brinjals on one tiny stem

                                                                First lot of the spinach

 

Now I am not much a fan of the brinjals that we are getting in large quantities but love the spinach. It truly is soft and melts in you mouth.

We made brinjal and palak (spinach) pakodas.

And Palak paneer was made from the rest of the left palak. Recipe here .

 

 

 

MUCH LOVE
