Aug 6 - Shallow Depth of Field

I signed up for 30 days to better food photos (30dbfp) project. This picture is part of that project. Whenever I post a picture from that project, I shall mention it. Coming to the greens in the picture, today I was at a farmers market in Union Square and found some purslane, also known as gangavalli kura in Telugu. I made some dal with it. Bowl of dal in the background is gangavalli kura pappu.
Camera: Nikon 5100
