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.

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

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

भोजन का इतिहास

यह तो हम सब जानते हैं कि आदिकाल में मनुष्य शिकार क्र अपना पेट भरता था. कैसे हमारे पूर्वजों ने पका के खाना खाना सीखा होगा? क्या आपने कभी सोचा है कि सब से पहले खाना किस ने बनाया होगा और क्या? आखिर आज जो हम अपनी रसोइयों मैं ढेरों गैजेट्स के साथ तरह तरह के पकवान बनाते हैं, उस यात्रा की शुरुआत किस ने की होगी ? सच में अगर हम में से किसी ने हज़ारों वर्ष पहले खाना पकाने की शुरुआत न की होती तो क्या पता हम यहाँ तक आ भी पाते या नहीं. पर एक बात तो है कि अगर इंसान ने आग का आविष्कार न किया होता तो सोचिये जो दाल मखनी , कढ़ाई पनीर या मुर्ग मुस्सलम उँगलियाँ चाट चाट कर हम लोग आज खा रहे है वह न हो पाता। यह तो हम जानते ही हैं कि Humans को Homo sapiens भी कहा जाता है. पर क्या आप जानते हैं कि जब तक हम ने खाना पकाना न सीखा था , हम Homo erectus हुआ करते थे। खाना पकाने की कला ने जैसे हमें civilized यानी सभ्य बना दिया. आग का आविष्कार मानव उत्थान की एक बहुत बड़ी उपलब्धि है. पर इस जब तक हम ने आग यानि फायर पर काबू पाना नहीं सीखा था हम जंगलो से घास फूस , फल, अथवा बीज खा के ही जीवन यापन कर रहे थे। आग पर काब

Theme Reveal for A2Z Challenge by Blogchatter 2024

The A2Z challenge by Blogchatter has made me fall in love with April. I have been challenging myself through A2Z for the last 3-4 years. Since last year, I have made the challenge double tough for me to brush up on my writing. I take this challenge on both my blogs - petpuja.com , my food blog and Neerja's Musings , my lifestyle blog. This helps me devote more time to blogging every day. Writing two blog posts every day for 26 days! It feels like some achievement after the challenge is over. Frankly speaking, I am in that stage of life, where I do not see many challenges. Life is running smoothly by the grace of God and one needs some challenges to make life exciting. I think this void is filled with the A2Z challenge for me. Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | Twitter | Podcast | This is the time to reveal my plans for the next 26 posts. This time, I am planning to write about street foods around the globe. Below are the chapters, I have planned for the challenge. Though, I
