I have not been cooking at all and working with the camera is a dream. All I am doing now is working on the interiors of the house like crazy, now that we have moved in two weeks back. Putting things together keeping in mind the color scheme and space available has been quite a task. However, it is such a fulfilling experience and privilege to be able to pick every straw that would go into your nest. I have posted a couple of pics of the house on Instagram and I will be posting a lot more in the coming future.
And yes being busy with the house means being away from the blog. However, the house was another good way to validate the tremendous love that I have for interior design. Even when we lived in one-bedroom apartments and just got started off with our lives here in the US, I would always work on giving our space a distinct identity, something that is imperfectly perfect. What I am trying to come at is I have a very clear style in mind when it comes to my house. I know the colors I want, the accents I want and the layout I want. And it better be that way, especially this time, when Sam went out of his way to get the space designed as per my wish. So right now my focus has completely shifted from food styling to meeting the styling requirements of our nest and trust me the process can be extremely taxing. But then this is also a dream come true for anyone who gets a kick from squeezing the creative juices within.
Now coming to the sweet potato kofta recipe, this Sweet Potato Soy Kofta curry is my go-to dish on Mondays, which are essentially meatless for us. These koftas do not let anyone miss meat at all. Made from sweet potato and soy chunks, these are good for you. And the added bonus is I airfry them or just bake them. So they are high on the guilt-free index too.
Last year around the beginning of the year, I had a done a 20 pounds weight loss challenge. Sweet potato was one of the carb food choices, which was allowed in the program. And I fell in love with this unassumingly humble starch. Not only this acts as a binder in this recipe but also the sweetness it renders accentuates the overall taste and mouth-feel of the koftas. A perfect dish to entertain with and enjoyed best with roti or rice.
