It’s back to back festival time in India and my

It’s back to back festival time in India and my social media feeds are full of celebratory pictures from home, friends and family. I am not a religious person, so I don’t miss the idol worship shenanigans. What I miss though is the people, laughter, togetherness and the hustle to create festival specific foods that feed your soul. Work has kept me super busy past couple weeks and I kept postponing making myself a hearty meal for days.My sister happened to send me a short video from my home and a little glimpse of the tiled flooring made my eyes moist. I instantly indulged into the memories of laying on a bare tiled flooring at home to cool off on a hot summer afternoon. Nostalgia has funny ways to seek you, I guess!As we say bye to the beautiful summer here in British Columbia. I created these two meals that made me taste home. Even if it’s for a little while.Picture 1:
Marathi (coastal style) fish fry
Hirva Kalvan (Green Curry with Fish) and BhaatPicture 2:
Methi chi vadi (homegrown fenugreek patty style pakora)
Pivli batatyachi bhaaji (Homestyle potatoes tossed in turmeric and green chilies)
Naralachi vadi (Sweetened coconut squares)
Rasam (made with home grown tomatoes, tempered with homegrown fenugreek/methi seeds) and simple steamed white rice.My balcony garden has been so giving this summer. Swipe to see some mighty tomatoes from my little garden.#nostalgia #immigrantlife #foodmemories #comfortfood #tasteofhome
