FOOD ITEMS FROM "Q"

"Q" is an alphabet, not many food items start with. I would like to recorrect this - not many Indian food items start from "Q". Anyway, now, as they say, the world is shrinking (literally and metaphorically too), so let us take food items from Q, irrespective of their origins. Before listing the other food items, I will share what comes to my mind with Q - this one is everybody's favourite - Quaker's oats. Quaker is a popular brand that produces many healthy(?) breakfast options. The other is Quesadilla is a Mexican Pic Wikipedia dish made with a tortilla filled with cheese and other fillings. There is a post in my blog about it. Please do check here . It has an Indian cousin invented by Indian mothers made with the available leftover roti and sabzi. :) Even Quinoa (pronounced as k iː n . w ɑ) is something we have recently introduced to. When I read about it and searched online, I found it very expensive. But to my Pic : Wikipedia surprise, I went to...

Gujarati Thali @ Iscon Thaal - Review Post

When I relocated to Ahmedabad from the Delhi-NCR region over two decades ago, I found respite in the city's milder summers. Unlike the relentless heat of North India, where April through June offers no reprieve from the scorching temperatures even at dawn or dusk, Ahmedabad's mornings and evenings were once an oasis of coolness. However, over the years, the tendrils of climate change have also insidiously tightened their grip on this city. The early morning hours are still cool, duration is reduced, blending into an oppressive daytime heat even from 9 AM, and the evenings, which used to bring a soothing breeze, are often stifling. The increasing intensity and duration of heatwaves, driven by global climate change, have not only made summers harsher but also strained the city's resources and tested the resilience of its inhabitants. The transformation is a stark reminder of the broader environmental crisis, reflecting how even the most familiar of climates can become hostile...

Restaurant Review - Vandanam (South Bopal, Ahmedabad)

It was in my last kitty when I had a chance to visit this newly opened eating joint. The last-minute change of venue took our kitty group in front of this newly opened restaurant. In the last few years, South Bopal has seen many outlets serving South Indian cuisines. Vandanam is the latest addition to this ever-increasing eateries. My first impression was a feeling of positivity. Seating was okay, not crumpled. The decor is simplistic and minimalistic. It is a buffet restaurant with 20+ dishes on the offering. You will find popular dishes like dosa, idli, vada, sambhar, and rasam along with Malabar paranthas and accompaniments like coconut chutney etc. The welcome drink was refreshing. The dessert is Kesari, a permanent fixture in all South Indian cuisine restaurants. And all this for a price of 299 per head. Isn't it worth trying? As the number of dishes is small, I could taste almost all. And I loved this approach of fewer dishes and less confusion . This resulted in eff...

Annkut Ahmedabad Thali Review: Aamras, Ghee & Gujarati Goodness!

Some things in life are sacred — like not sharing your last piece of aamras-soaked puri, or believing that Gujarati kadhi is the elixir of peace. And then there’s my personal summer ritual — a proper Gujarati thali with sanskaari servings of aamras. So last Tuesday, in the spirit of mangoes and mild chaos, RB and I set off on our thali pilgrimage. This time, there was no planning, no Googling, no Instagram stalking of “top 5 thali places in Ahmedabad.” Pure, unfiltered spontaneity. The kind that food shows warn you about. We ended up at Annkut Thali Restaurant , a place we hadn’t visited in five years. Not because we were avoiding it — just because Gujarat has more thali options than Bollywood has remakes. Empty Restaurant, Full Attention We reached around 7:30 PM — before the usual dinner stampede. Just two tables were occupied, so all the wait staff turned into our personal entourage . We were seated at a table for four because apparently, couples don’t eat thalis in peace. T...

Forgotten Flavours: Lost Recipes of Madhya Pradesh That Deserve a Comeback

From the royal kitchens of Gwalior to the tribal hearths of Mandla and Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh boasts a culinary heritage as vast and vibrant as its landscape. While dishes like poha-jalebi , bhutte ka kees , and dal bafla have carved their place on urban menus, there lies a treasure trove of forgotten recipes —once staples in homes and festivals—that are now fading into oblivion. Let’s take a journey into the culinary past of Madhya Pradesh and rediscover the lost recipes that once defined the soul of its diverse regions. 1. Gulab Jamun ki Sabzi (Malwa Region) Yes, you read that right. In parts of Malwa , especially around Indore and Ujjain , the beloved sweet gulab jamun was once transformed into a savoury curry . Made with fried khoya balls simmered in a tomato-onion-spice gravy, this dish was often served during festive thalis. The blend of sweet and spicy was an acquired taste, but deeply satisfying once loved. 2. Mahua Laddoo (Tribal Belt – Mandla, Dindori) The mahua...
