Restaurant Review - Purani Delhi, South Bopal, Ahmedabad

I was driving through one of the by-lanes of South Bopal when this signage of " Purani Delhi " caught my attention. It was a new restaurant in this area (I live nearby) and there are not many restaurants in this side of the city. We have plenty of small eateries and pick-up places, and any new eating place is always welcome. :) This is started by a well-known food chain Gwalia . Gwalia is reinventing itself from the sweet mart and snack set-up to full-fledged restaurants. Some times ago, they have opened a South Indian buffet restaurant, Vannakam in Ahmedabad. I had been to that place once, and I remember the experience. The staff, ambience, menu and food, all were excellent. One fine evening, in my late evening romantic drives with RB , I thought of trying out this new place. The name was so tempting and I could feel watering in my mouth thinking about those Delhi flavours. I am a diehard foodie of Delhi flavours. It was 6.45 PM. As I entered the place, I liked the sc

Indian Cuisine VS American Cuisine

When people visit distant lands, they bring their culture to the new land. This is how the fusion of cultures happens. Since Petpuja dot com is all about food, we will explore the fusion and differences between Indian and American cuisines. Indians are the biggest diaspora in the USA. Indian cuisine is known for its diverse and flavourful dishes. They use a wide range of spices, herbs, and vegetables. Popular dishes include butter chicken, biryani, samosas, and dal makhani. These are some of the most popular Indian dishes across the globe. Indian cooking also often involves traditional cooking techniques such as slow cooking and the use of a tandoor oven. Vegetarianism is widely practised in India, leading to a rich tradition of vegetarian dishes like chana masala, rajma-chawal, palak-paneer, aloo gobhi etc. Indian food can be enjoyed mild or spicy and is commonly served with rice or flatbread such as chapati, parantha or naan.

Chaat Culture: The History and Popularity of Indian Street Food

Chaat culture is an integral part of Indian cuisine and street food. Chaat refers to a wide range of savoury snacks that are typically sold by street vendors or in small roadside stalls in India. Chaat is an important part of Indian food culture and has been enjoyed by people of all ages for generations. The history of chaat can be traced back to the Mughal era when it was initially served as a snack to the royals. However, it became popular among the masses during the British colonial period when street vendors started selling it to the locals. Since then, chaat has evolved and diversified into various types and flavours, becoming a significant part of Indian street food. There are various types of chaat, including Aloo Tikki, Samosa Chaat, Dahi Bhalla, Pani Puri, Bhel Puri, and many others. Each type of chaat has a unique taste and texture and is typically made with a combination of crunchy, spicy, tangy, and sweet flavours. Chaat has gained immense popularity not just in India, but

Tomato Alternatives in Indian Cuisine

Tomatoes have long been a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine, lending their vibrant colour, tangy flavour, and unique taste to various dishes. However, the skyrocketing prices of tomatoes in recent times have left many budget-conscious individuals seeking alternatives that can provide similar taste and versatility without breaking the bank. In this blog post, we will explore some fantastic tomato alternatives in Indian cuisine that are both affordable and delicious. Tamarind Tamarind is a popular ingredient in Indian cooking, known for its tangy and slightly sweet flavour. It is widely used in chutneys, sambar, rasam, and various other dishes to impart a rich and distinctive taste. Tamarind pulp can be easily made by soaking tamarind in warm water and then extracting the juice. This tangy alternative can add depth and complexity to your dishes, making it an excellent replacement for tomatoes. When it comes to finding a tomato alternative that closely mimics the fresh, sweet-tangy fla

Indian Sweets: The Role of Sweets in Indian Culture and Festivals

Are you one of those, who love our own mithai over chocolate and cakes? If yes, you are my kind. Any day, I am all for laddos, jalebi, imerati, gulabjamun. choorma, rasgulla 😋 I am still maintaining the tradition of gifting our locally produced or home made mithais on all Indian festivals like diwali, holi, rakhshabandhan etc. And a daily after dinner - "kuch meetha ho jaaye" with a jalebi, rasgulla or gulabjamun. Halwa or sheera as it is named in Gujarat, where I am staying at present is also sweet which is made at home when all other sweets are over and I want a break from outsourced sweets. Indian sweets, or "Mithai" as they are commonly called in India, are an integral part of Indian culture and festivals. In India, sweets are not just a dessert or a treat; they are an expression of joy, love, and hospitality. Sweets are shared on special occasions such as weddings, festivals, and religious ceremonies as a way of celebrating with family, friends, and neighbou
