We’ve all been shamed at some point : sometimes by society . Sometimes we do it to ourselves. Today’s #fitnessfriday post is dedicated to #mentalhealthawarenessmonth Pause and ask . ‘ is hate , fear , expectation, shame , self doubt driving you to question yourself ? We all do it . I do too . It’s only human . But going past it with kindness and acceptance of yourself and others can set you free. Loving your ‘flaws’ & ‘imperfections’ as they call it is your ticket to move towards a happy you .Take time to talk and listen to someone . It’s ok not to feel ok all the time . We are all #imperfectlyperfect ❤️
When Nyra chooses papa’s look & Hans takes our picture🤣 it’s a family production 👨👩👧👦 #aboutlastnight #messymama @mr.vardenchi #happyhans #naughtynyra #famjam #momlife #masti ❤️🌟
Which part of your body makes you most uncomfortable? Is it stretch marks ? Loose skin ? Belly? Acne ? Thinning hair? White hair? Cellulite? For me it’s my back flab and arms. I work on acceptance everyday. And it taken me so long to embrace it . Your body is listening and every time you have a negative thought of how much you hate it , it’s only magnifying how bad you feel . The best exercise for #bodypositivity is to look at the parts that you feel insecure with and be kind to yourself . Everyday like a mantra . #imperfectlyperfect #bodypositivemovement 📣

Summer has ended and we’ve got our last batch of Yummy Raw Mango 🥭 so we are using 2 ways in pickle & A
potato dish ! @manjrivarde makes this every year! ❤️
Mango Pickle🥭
6-8 large raw mangoes
Half cup sea salt
Three packets store bought masala
3/4 litre til oil
4 tablespoons mustard seeds
1 tablespoon hing or asafoetida
Wash, wipe dry and chop the mangoes into small pieces. Dry roast the salt to remove moisture. Add it to the mangoes along with the packet masala. Leave to soften and pickle well for 6-7 hours.
Take almost 3/4 litre oil and bring it to a smoking hot temperature. Switch off and cool to room temperature.
Take 4-5 tablespoons of the oil and heat. Crackle the mustard seeds. Switch off and add 1 tablespoon of hing. Pour this on the mango pieces.
Aambat Batata 🥔
4 large long potatoes
Half coconut
3 teaspoons peppercorns
6 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons methi seeds
1 tablespoon haldi powder
2 tablespoons red chilli powder
1 large raw mango ground to paste
1 small pack coconut milk
Fresh chopped coriander
Take 4 large, longish potatoes sliced long and thin.
Grind half a coconut with 3 teaspoons of pepper and 6 teaspoons of coriander seeds.
Pour 3 tablespoons of coconut oil into a wok. Add 2 teaspoons of methi/fenugreek seeds. Slightly brown them and add 1 tablespoon of haldi/turmeric and 2-3 tablespoons of red chilli powder.
Add the sliced potatoes with some water. Cover and cook.
When half done add the coconut paste and salt. Cook some more.
Add the whole mango paste to it. Some coconut milk and stir and bring to a boil. Add chopped fresh coriander.
This creates a lovely, fragrant, sour, thick gravy. Also used during fasting days as no onion, garlic or even mustard is used in it.
I had saved one mango from the pickle for this curry. It tastes amazing. But when not in season, I use tamarind paste. A two inch ball would work. Soaked and ground or sieved. With a spoon of flour so it does not curdle the curry.
Crisp wheat puris
2 cups wheat flour
1/2 cup rawa
5 tablespoons oil
Mix all the above with less water and bind a hard dough.
Roll out tiny puris and fry in hot oil! Enjoy! ❤️
Monday morning meetings be like 🙄 #naughtynyra #wfh #mood #messymama #monday #momlife #fun ☕️
