Bangalore Foodie Instagram Handles That Are Making Us Go Nom Nom

When we aren’t busy chasing deadlines or chomping down food, we’re often scrolling through Instagram, salivating over photographs of absolutely stunning looking dishes {#foodporn}. After all, our fair city has quite a few Instagrammers who focus on giving you snapshots of what’s on their plates, with everything from dishes at new restaurants to homemade bakes and culinary experiments. Here are some of our favourites from the lot.

I went back to Pot-O-Noodle for lunch today as I wanted to try the Ramen Burger. I chose the Teriyaki Chicken Ramen Burger. A very innovative dish, cooked and fried noodles instead of the bread. Omelet, cheese and chicken filling, tasted good, the thought of not having a bread in the burger was weird but loved the innovation of the dish. Go try! . #instagram #instagramhub #instagramers #yummy #instayummy #yummyinmytummy #foodphotography #foodie #foodpic #bbcgoodfood #huffposttaste #eeeeeats #beautifulcuisines #innovation #chinese #chinesefood #china #chineserestaurant

Stunning food photographs of everything from jalebis to fancy cocktails – that’s what you’ll find on Soham Shoney’s Instagram handle. Along with all-time favourites like filter coffee and Iyengar Bakery’s tea cake, the foodie and photographer also posts about new restaurants and lesser known spots in city.

#instagood: Always out and about, Soham often discovers hole-in-the-wall eateries. His Insta feed is also where you’ll probably get to hear first about new restaurants in the city.

Everything look good in the morning light. Case in point- the Roasted Pumpkin Soup I made last evening on Periscope (saffrontrail) plated and shot this morning. Flavours: Coconut milk, Rosemary, ginger, roasted garlic Garnishes: Coconut milk, rosemary croutons, rosemary sprigs and edible flowers

A post shared by Nandita | Vegetarian Blog (@saffrontrail) on Aug 3, 2016 at 7:47pm PDT

If healthy vegetarian food doesn’t sound all that appealing to you, Nandita Iyer’s {city-based nutritionist} handle might change your mind. Giving us a peek into her meals, her posts include plenty of wholesome salads and lunch spreads {in case you needed ideas for lunch}. She also experiments with locally available ingredients and traditional favourites to come up with dishes like Beetroot Sambhar and Pineapple Rasam.

You know we have different kinds of banana chips 🙂 #keralafood #gluttonytrip #bananachips

We often find it difficult to go through Saina’s Instagram feed without feeling tempted ourselves. Take a look at some of the PR professional/food photographer’s posts featuring soft idiyappams {string hoppers}, warm beef pie and Bisi Bele Bath, and you’d know what we’re talking about. Her photos are all about food, whether it’s from new or iconic places in the city, or even from her trips to other cities. You’ll also find some from her shoots at restaurants in town.

Lightly fried boiled eggs simmered in a luscious creamy curry is what this Mughlai Egg Korma about. Make it for a special meal and pair with some laccha paratha or Zeera rice for a finger licking experience #Lunch #Desi #Thekitchn #Huffposttaste #thefeedfeed #beautifulcuisines #gloobyfood #hautecuisine #buzzfeedfood #todayfood #lifeandthyme #dscolor #foodie #buzzfeast #BHGfood

Dentist-turned-food blogger, Neha Mathur focuses on using fresh and seasonal produce for her dishes. While you’ll find noodles and crepes making an appearance in her Insta feed, what we always look out for would be her Indian specials. Whether it’s the Mughlai Kesar Murgh or the Kesar Malai Peda, her desi treats will probably make you crave some ghar ka khana.

Madhuri Aggarwal {accessory designer, artist, and food stylist and photographer} can make even store-bought peanuts look tempting enough to make you want to reach out for them. Don’t believe us? Take a peek at her Insta handle. While it also includes design-related ones, we love that her food posts feature an array of dishes, including local ones. Honey Semifreddo to Aralu Sandige {a deep-fried snack}, you’ll find them all here.

15 years ago, I would never have guessed I was marrying a man who would one day turn out to be even more health conscious than me. What happened to the chubby lad who loved sweets and would never pass up dessert? He grew wiser, quit sugar, took to running and today he's 15 kg lighter. Nope, he isn't the man I married, but since it's taken me this long to whip him into shape, I think I'll keep him. 😀 His "special" anniversary breakfast this morning was a #refinedsugarfree layered pudding: Rice pudding with almonds & raisins, #chiapudding with #matcha (both made with coconut milk) garnished with fresh kiwi & cacao nibs. And 15 years later, he's still happily suffering my cooking. If that's not love, what is? 😊💚 . . . . #cupcakeree #vscofood #morningslikethese #healthy #healthyfoodshare #glutenfree #mycommontable #veganfoodshare #heresmyfood @food #whatveganseat #onthetable #thekitchn #f52grams #ksgram #thefeedfeed @thefeedfeed #eeeeeats #huffposttaste #beautifulcuisines #thechalkboardeats #yahoofood #barereaders #instagrammatics #PHOTOCONTEST100k #cookit #foodwinewomen #thatsdarling #instayum

Don’t let the name of Reethika Singh’s {city-based home baker} Insta handle lead you to think it’s all about sweet stuff. While she does whip up some sinful looking cupcakes and desserts, what sets her apart would be her focus on healthy cooking. Think dishes and smoothies with plenty of fruits, veggies and nutritious ingredients. Apart from adapting recipes, she even tries keeping it refined sugar-free and experiments with new ingredients. Reethika also does those breakfast smoothie bowls that are trending like crazy on Instagram these days.

For food blogger, stylist and photographer, Farrukh Aziz, her blog, Cubes N Juliennes marked the start of her bond with cooking and food. Being someone who loves learning about different cultures and their cuisines, you’ll find a medley of dishes {all strikingly photographed, of course}. Think Methi Chicken Curry {images of her meaty treats are a favourite with us}, Whole Wheat Herbed Lavash and even Samosa Matar Chaat! Oh, and enough of sweet treats, too. We’d love some of the Spiced Blueberry Crumb Coffee Cake for ourselves.

Avocado is in season & I couldn't resist baking some multi-seed (melon,flax,sesame & fennel seeds) whole wheat sourdough bread to go with it.

Just a cursory glance at Megha Deokule’s feed will tell you that she clearly doesn’t believe in skipping breakfast. Apart from quick fixes like wholewheat banana bread with strawberry smoothie, you’ll also find elaborate spreads for those weekend breakfasts. Sticking to organic food, her Insta handle also includes snapshots from her garden and some of her cat.
