Sun dried bananas are one of our favourite snacks for Vanya, our 4.5 year old daughter, when we are out on a long drive. Instead of relying on junk like maida biscuits and deep fried snacks, we rely on food preserved by the hot guy up in the sky. Not someone who follows Instagram trends but this made us look back on how farm we’ve come. And we also missed celebrating our Farmversary this year! Eight Years of Vaanavil! That’s kinda chic, right? 13th August, 2am. No alarm - just woke up like I usually do. As the photos of sloth bear doing the rounds on social media increase, I wonder what causes this. Is it AI? Is it increase in camera phones? Is it higher human wildlife interaction? Or simple a higher population of sloth bears? I am sure it is a combination of all these.  Meet the cousin of Kothamalli Samba. Milagu Samba is a small grain rice variety local to Tamil Nadu. Milagu means pepper in Tamil. The shape of this rice variety resembles the roundness of pepper corns. Hence the name. Perfect as table rice, upma, pongal as well as for idli / dosai batter. You can pressure cook this rice with a 1:3 rice:water ratio. The grains look small and round even after cooking! Have you heard of this variety before? The story behind our Amchur powder These beautiful palm leaf jewellery boxes are now available on our online store. This was handcrafted by Uma Maheshwari and her team from Krishnapuram in Tirunelveli. The boxes are perfect to store your jewellery or keepsake and come in two vibrant colours! Or this can go on your foyer to store keychains. The ideas are endless and this will add a pop of colour to your house! Farm and Shop updates from Vaanavil and VaanaVizha This is Part 2 of the post i recently did on my blog. Link in bio.
