Sri Krishna Vilas in Cumming, Atlanta

If you are in Atlanta, and want to eat some good traditional south Indian food, then you should go to Sri Krishna Vilas in Cumming. Masala dosas, idli, rava doas, and vada is really good. In the afternoon, their Thali(variety of dishes including roti, rice, sambar, papad, side dishes and a sweet) is very popular.  I also like pooris, chole bhatara and vegetable biryani in this restaurant.

Sometimes, chats (Bombay street food) such as bhel puri, papdi chat and masala puri is also tasty and spicy here! Yesterday, I ate bhel puri, but it was so salty. I asked for sweet chutney, and it was sour! I guess this happens in most of the good restaurants...

In short, Sri Krisha Vilas is great for vegetarians and vegans. Please tell your friends and family in Atlanta to go to this restaurant even if they are not vegetarian or vegan

Protein-Rich Vegan Breakfast

Protein- rich vegan breakfast has been giving enormous energy and "guilt-free" happy feeling for millions of women across the world. I'm a vegan and start with my day with fruits. I usually eat mangoes, cherries or banana. Sometimes, I make yummy smoothies with banana, strawberries and few curry leaves or spinach leaves.  Around noon, I blend couple of dates, soaked almonds and walnuts to make nutritious drink. I sometimes add soaked cashew nuts, poppy seeds, chia seeds  or sesame seeds. This is so filling, and I don't feel like eating till six in the evening...

These days everyone I know is having green smoothie for breakfast! Greens such as spinach, kale , drumstick leaves, mint, cilantro or curry leaves is blended with fruits and dates. You should try green smoothie, if you have not yet tried it...

Today, I read interesting articles regarding nutritious vegan breakfast and lunch. Please read these amazing articles for ideas and tips to eat healthy nutritious fare every day!
