Raksha Bandhan 2018: Special recipes by sisters to celebrate the bond of love, The Indian Express on September 21, 2018

Anushruti RK, Food blogger, Mumbai

"My younger brother has always been the apple of my eye. On the special day of Raksha Bandhan, I would love to acknowledge his special presence in my life and to mark the occasion I would like to cook rice dishes for him since he loves rice.

Fairly simple to make, Tomato and Coconut Rice is a dish that is packed with beautiful flavours of tomatoes and coconut and the spices subtly enhance the dish, making it exquisite. I would pair this rice with some exotic vegetable curries, a raita and a baked yogurt tart with fresh cherry sauce to round off the meal."

Curries to cool down, Mumbai Mirror on April 15, 2018

Anushruti

Anushruti's Mavinkai Tambli in Mumbai MirrorMavinkai Tambli, essentially a soup-like preparation made with seasonal fresh vegetables or herbs belongs to the Havyaka Brahmin cuisine. It can be had as a drink and also thrown over rice. Here, the raw mango and coconut perfectly complement each other as the coconut helps brings out the flavour of the mango while lending texture to the dish. "The best tambli for me would be from my paternal ancestral home in Siddapur, Kanataka where the most flavourful mangoes are grown. This is combined with 'sooj mensinkai', tiny chillies similar to the Thai bird eye chillies in appearance but totally different in flavour," says food writer Anushruti RK, adding that according to Ayurveda, raw mangoes are supposed to cool the body, making this a perfect summer dish. "When mangoes are not in season, substitute it with lemons or lime for an equally interesting version," she adds.

The raw mangoes in this recipe from Karnataka can easily be substituted with tamarind, which is available through the year. "This piquant chutney is a great way to liven up any drab meal," she adds.

Editor's Note: I stopped and thought back as I read through this recipe, and I cannot remember ever baking a cake without eggs. This post may change my mind, though it looks like a fantastic recipe, and sounds absolutely delicious. It's just the kind of cake that might prompt me to eat dessert first. –Genie

Anushruti R.K.'s Divinetaste (divinetaste.com) has a section on ayurvedic cooking. There's the Panaka or Lime Sherbet, a coolant for the Indian summer. The ingredients of these traditional dishes are said to balance the kappa (water), pitta (fire) and vata (wind) that, according to ayurveda, are the three main constituents of our body. Food, when eaten according to season and constitution can ward off diseases.

Along with the photographs and meticulous recipe index, Anushruti brings you some forgotten flavours from your mother's kitchen.

Why We Love It: Most recipes are invented in Anushruti's kitchen, and are evidence of her inventive experimentation. Pumpkin pie, jackfruit biryani, and cauliflower green curry it's all veg (and eggless) here, but that does little to detract from this blog's strong visual appeal (when not cooking, Anushruti is also a photographer). There are frequent posts about making the basics—jeera pulao, tadka, parathas—that makes this a great induction for budding cooks.
