Savoury Granola – gluten free, healthy, addictive
Savoury granola is delicious, addictive, crisp & crunchy good! Good for breakfast, as a snack, over salads etc. This quick healthy bake is also great as a part of a trail mix, or an Indian bhel puri fusion mix. Toss it up with chopped tomatoes, peppers and onions, some fresh herbs, maybe throw in some sweet corn and enjoy!

The Masala Dabba #2. Spicing up desserts and journeying further into the spice box
It's strange how often we connect spices to savoury foods, often in India spice is synonymous with a curry! Delightfully enough, as we blog on, reading more, breaking new ground and exploring our palettes, ingredients take on new meaning. For instance, there is always so much more you can do with spices, enough to make them leap out of the masala dabba or spice box!!

Lakshman Sagar, Rajasthan. ‘Where all you do is ‘nothing’!!
Nothing quite prepares you for the luxury and peace of Lakshman Sagar. Nothing at all. It caught me by surprise, a place I have been putting off visiting for over a year. Now I can't wait to get back there again!! That's just how good the resort is, the team that delivers their concept of "slow Living" like it should be. And the concept comes with oodles of down to earth luxury. Not rose tinted, not high heeled in any way. It's down to earth good, and just the way I like love it.

The Masala Dabba #1… exploring the Indian spice box
The Masala Dabba. A name that paints a spicy picture. A fun food styling experiment born out of a conversation one day in December last year. Spices are something that intrigue us, and are sometimes challenging to shoot. So Dolphia floated the idea, and it was instantly lapped up by Simi and lazy me. It's always great to have something that gives us inspiration, or maybe focus to shoot. The idea was to shoot the spices, in sets of three, month after month.
