#ELLEGourmetCoverStar: Neha Deepak Shah’s (@nehadeepakshah) love for food began early, nurtured in a family that cherished cooking, but it was never treated as a career path. “Unsurprisingly, like most Indian households, my parents encouraged engineering or medicine, not culinary school,” she recalls. She eventually pursued Food Science and Technology and became a flavourist. But her curiosity for cooking persisted. What changed everything was moving alone to Delhi from Mumbai. Independence became the gateway to experimentation. She’d call her mother or nani for recipes, dive into her mother’s 150+ Tarla Dalal books, and cook so much she had to feed colleagues just to avoid waste. “They loved the food and encouraged me to participate in MasterChef India.” Two eliminations later, season four became her breakthrough — first runner-up, and finally seen on her own terms.

????15 minute Edamame Dimsum ! No need to make a dough for the wrapper, no rolling. Quick & easy. ???? 230 calories 13 g Protein & 6.5 g Fiber For 10 Dimsum - 100 g Shelled Edamame 1 green chilli 1 tsp chopped ginger 1 tbsp coriander stem Salt & pepper 5 rice papers to make 10 Dimsum Some coriander stem or spring onion greens to tie the Dimsum I have used @pluckk.in frozen edamame. Edamame is a complete protein & is packed with fiber. You can use it for simply snacking & to boost protein in recipes. If you love eating at Japanese restaurants, steamed edamame is the most popular appetizer & you can make it at home for a fraction of the cost. You can buy it on the Pluckk app ???? Vishesh Tippani - Keep the surface & your hands wet when using rice papers - Always use a baking paper or banana leaf when steaming rice papers dumplings else it will stick #EdamameDimsum #Edamame #Dimsum #HighProtein #LowCalorie

At 22, she just loved cooking. No big plan. No roadmap. Just belief. She faced rejection. Came back. Faced it again. Came back stronger. And when that apron finally came — it wasn’t luck. It was earned. This is a story about second chances, resilience, and showing up even when it’s uncomfortable. ????️ Full episode drops on 8th March @nehadeepakshah Decode With Manav #DecodeWithManav #WomenCreators #SuccessStories #InternationalWomensDay #explorepage

???? Dahi Bhalla Cake - Holi special ???? Sach batana aisa kuch kabhi dekha toh nahi hoga. The most epic cake & the best part is that it is healthy, protein packed & loves you back. And it is super easy to make. Lots and lots of people have recreated this recipe & it has been a hit. Reposting my video from last year ✅ Non Fried ✅ Protein packed recipe ✅ Party showstopper For a 7 inch cake - 1/3 cup Urad Dal (soaked) 1/3 cup Moong Dal (soaked) Salt & 1/4 tsp hing 1 Green Chilly A small piece of Ginger 1/2 tsp eno with a little water Few ice cubes Assembly - - Salted water with a little hing (Hing is optional) - Lightly Salted Hung curd - drain the curd for about an hour & then whisk it until it looks creamy like whipped cream - meethi chutney, green chutney , grated carrot, cashew pieces, black salt , roasted jeera powder & red chilli powder , Garnish with boondi, pomegranate & fresh coriander & some mint leaves ???? Vishesh Tippani - - Use ice while grinding, Blend it in to a super smooth paste & while blending add chilled water or Ice cubes - Add salt to this & using an electric beater or Whisk , Feto it until it is light and airy. It will look like Whipped Cream. It should be so light and airy that when you flip the bowl it shouldn’t fall. (Shh, This is the secret) - Cook on medium flame & you must keep it covered all throughout & not open the lid - Drench this cake in salted water really well. It should be properly soaked because that is what makes the cake moist. #DahiBhallaCake #DahiBhalla #DahiBhallaRecipe #DahiVada #HoliSpecial

???????? Cheesy Spinach & corn dosa bites, my quick, yummy fix for breakfast ! Some days I just don’t feel like an elaborate breakfast, but I still want something that feels special. And these dosa bites are exactly that. Crispy on the outside, soft and comforting inside, and honestly such a hit at home. Using iD Batter makes it so much easier. No planning ahead, no fermentation stress, just simple, clean ingredients and that consistent ghar jaisa taste I trust ????
