MADE BY CANVA

Every day's meal comes with a little story in itself. What did you eat, how did you feel, what was prepared at what time . All these things add a lot of memories in the hustle and bustle of the day. Yesterday too was full of such taste and simplicity for me.I ate all four meals a day. Morning breakfast, lunch, evening snack and dinner. All enjoyed with great simplicity and taste. In today's post, I am sharing my food diary of the same day with you all.

Breakfast – Crunchy samosas and green chillies

The first thing in the morning I ate hot samosas for breakfast.Fresh off the griddle, lightly crunchy and filled with spicy potatoes,the samosas were the perfect way to start the day. The lightly fried green chillies prepared along with it and the red chutney filled in the pack made the breakfast even more delicious. Eating samosas is a different thing. Its aroma, its taste and the warmth of the spices found in each bite. The morning meal was not very heavy but was soothing to the stomach and pleasing to the mind. This breakfast started the whole day very refreshing.

Lunch – Flavorful Sev Usal

For lunch I had the delicious Sev Usal,a very popular dish in both Maharashtra and Gujarat.Sev Usal has its own distinct taste.A little spicy, a little sour-sweet and the crispy sev added on top makes it even more delicious. First of all, I poured hot and thick usali (usal) in a vessel, in which light masala of moong, peas or lentils was mixed. The balance of spices in this Usli was very good. Neither too sharp nor dull. Its aroma doubled my appetite. After that, I poured the crispy thick sev kept aside in the plate on the usala and mixed it. As soon as the sev mixes with the hot usli, its texture softens a bit and adds more life to the taste. Spicy usal, soft sev and chopped onion in one bite. Its taste seems new every time. Along with this, finely chopped onion gave both spiciness and crunch. The warmth of usal, the crunch of sev and the freshness of onion. Together all three made the lunch very tasty.

The best part of sev usal is that it is filling and light at the same time. After eating this, one does not feel heaviness in the body, rather one gets a good satisfaction. Yesterday afternoon was very pleasant with this delicious sev usal.

Evening snack – sweet and cold watermelon

The weather was a bit hot in the evening,so I thought of eating something cold and fresh.I ate cold and sweet watermelon pieces. The juiciness and coolness that is felt in each bite. It also gives energy in the evening and hydrates the body. After eating watermelon, the mood also became light. Sometimes even such simple things take away the tiredness of the day. This was my lightest and most refreshing snack of the day.

Dinner – Chicken, corn bread, salad and papad

For dinner the last meal of the day,I prepared a hearty meal. First of all I ate home-made chicken which had the aroma of spices and the taste of gravy.The chicken was very tender and juicy. The spices and flavors were perfectly balanced in every bite.Neither too spicy nor too mild.With this I had corn bread soft slightly sweet and full of desi flavour.Eating chicken with corn bread is a different pleasure.This combination is also nutritious and keeps the stomach full for a long time. To make the thali more light and balanced there was a salad with it cucumber onion and tomato.The taste of fresh vegetables makes the whole meal light and healthy. And finally a crispy papad which is the easiest way to complete dinner in every household.Both its sound and taste improve the mood of the food.

Yesterday's meals throughout the day were perfectly balanced—something crisp in the morning, light in the afternoon, cool in the evening and hearty at night. Every food had its own distinct taste and feel. I think a good food diary also teaches us what kind of food we are eating throughout the day and how our body reacts.

I am very happy to share this food diary for food Cooking Challenge. I hope that this experience of mine will make you also aware and excited about your food.
