I wanted to change every lot in the Base game. Used a random aesthetic generator and got solar. I love how Oasis Springs already has the vibe, I am just rebuilding some of them to suit it better. This is the first one from Oasis Springs. This is built on the Pebble Burrow lot in Oasis Springs, I would recommend placing it there for the backyard to make sense. It's a 30x20 build.

You can find the lot on my gallery. My gallery id: A_d1600

I made the house for a single sim. This is the living room and kitchen.

This is the bedroom

The hallway, which is my favourite part of the whole build

The upstairs terrace and study

Enjoy the view of the sandy Oasis Springs from the back yard. There is a bar, grill and an easel for the creative sims.

Lamb Shank Baranyi 🥩 This delicious, Indian dish took hours to make. 🇮🇳 We cooked the Lamb Shanks whole in a pot coated with onions, garlic, ginger and baranayi spices. Once browned we added yogurt and water and let it simmer for 2 hours. We added raisings to the sauce, boiled rice and carmalised onions. Served with a cold drink and hot bread rolls. 🍽 . . . . • #indianfood #indiancuisine #foodtalkindia #delhifood #delhifoodie #desifood #ifoundawesome #foodmaniacindia #delhifoodblogger #sodelhi #delhi_igers #indianfoodbloggers #delhidiaries #dfordelhi #delhiwale #southindianfood #delhifoodguide #indiancooking #delhigram #streetfood #saadidilli #mumbaifoodie #indiagram #delhihai #mumbaifood #northindian #tasteofindia #southindian #curry #instadelhi (at Dublin, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHFxvypF2cX/?igshid=1rjqfpqujpir1

Those Creamy Pink Lentils from South India - Done . I soaked whole pink lentils in water for about an hour. I tempered coconut oil in a pressure cooker using mustard seeds, curry leaves, asafoetida, garlic, dried red chillies, onions, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder & red chilli powder. I added in the drained lentils & pressure cooked along with some hot salted water. I finished by adding in coconut milk and simmered till it thickened. So so good and this was a part of "That Spoil Your Friends Thali" that I posted the other night. #southindianfood #southindian #meal #lunch #thenewhealthy #indiancooking #dhal #dietgoals #dinner #indiankitchen #indianmeal #homecook #desiblogger #desikhana #ethnicfood #kerala #daal #homecookedfood #homemade #gharkakhana #indianbloggers #lentils #lentilsoup #heresmyfood #instagramhub #lunch #indianvegetarian #vegetarianfood #beautifulcuisines #comfortfoods (at InterContinental Wellington)

That South Indian Style Vegetarian Thali - Done Usually my recipes are all about quick cooking. But some dishes are worth taking that extra effort over. Whilst I made simple beans, the channa kurma was a bit tedious. But totally worth it Clockwise : 1.

Once cool, I pureed it I tempered ghee with black cardamom, star anise, cloves, cinnamon, bayleaves & cumin seeds. I added in the paste & puree & simmered the cooked chickpeas & fresh coriander in this till done 2. Those South Indian Style French Beans I tempered coconut oil with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chillies & onions. I cooked the beans in this & when done, I added freshly scraped coconut & fresh coriander 3. That Salad 😂 : It maybe a new year but I'm still my good old self. This my dears, is salad - cucumber & lime 4. Those whole wheat parathas /flatbreads It was tedious to make the channa but totally worth it.

That Chettinad Style Chicken Thali - Done I'll be posting a few latergrams as I didn't get the chance to post them whilst I was in India. Now that I'm home in cold Sweden, I'm dreaming about the hot meals I cooked before leaving @beingbengt has joined my wannabe south Indian genes bandwagon😂 When I asked him what he'd like for dinner, instead of the usual "Can we have pasta?", more and more I'm getting requests for South Indian food! I'm NOT complaining I tempered coconut oil with ginger-garlic pastes, but I onions & coconut. I added in a preservative free Chettinad spice mix that I bought from @zaiqathespicestore, red chilli powder & tomato puree. Once cooked through, I ground this to a coarse paste I tempered coconut oil with mustard seeds & curry leaves. I added in the chicken & seared. I then added in the coarse paste & some hot water & allowed to simmer till cooked It truly tasted so so yummy with a generous squeeze of lime & scooped up with fresh whole wheat parathas I also served a side of cucumber & the ever present lime Such a simple yet flavourful protein packed meal!!But for now, I'm enjoying some seriously yum Swedish food & being pampered by my other family♥️ 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 #chickencurry #indiancurry #chettinad #paratha #fortheloveoffood #mumbaikar #indianauthor #walkwithindia #itz_mumbai #mumbaifoodblogger #ifoundawesome #foodtalkindia #authorsofinstagram #indianauthors #cookedwithlove #writersofinstagram #realindianfood #incredibleindia #everydayfood #indianfoodbloggers #Indianrecipe #traditionalfood #southindianfood #southindian #desi_diaries #indianmeals #spicycurry #slowcooker #slowcooked #curry (at Åbytorp)

That Modified Chicken Ghee Roast - Done Whilst we liked the chicken ghee roast, for me it was too strong. It hit the back of my palate & I didn't like that. But, I don't waste food. I just needed to add something to make it taste smoother. I heated the leftover chicken & added in a cup of milk & a cup of fresh thick coconut milk & simmered along with fresh coriander. It tasted really nice after this modification!!
