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...

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...

PetPuja Crosses 50,000 Monthly Visitors: A Milestone worth Celebrating

PetPuja Crosses 50,000 Monthly Visitors: A Milestone Worth Celebrating From Curiosity to Community When I started PetPuja , I had no grand blueprint. Just questions: Why do certain spices behave differently in heat? How do myths and science meet in our kitchens? What does a restaurant meal reveal about culture beyond the plate? It began as quiet storytelling, as notes in the margins of recipes and memories. But slowly, the whispers turned into a conversation. Today, that conversation has grown into 50,000+ monthly visitors — curious minds who gather here each month to read, reflect, and share. And along the way, 386,000 readers in total have pulled up a chair at this digital table. 📈 What This Growth Means This leap — from around 29,000 monthly visitors last month to over 50,000 this month — isn’t just a number. It’s proof that: Food stories can be as compelling as recipes. Readers crave the 'why' behind cooking, not just the '...

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 lik...

Lost Recipes of Maharashtra: Culinary Gems That Deserve a Revival

When we talk of Maharashtrian cuisine, names like Puran Poli, Misal Pav, and Vada Pav instantly come to mind. But beyond these well-loved dishes lies a treasure trove of forgotten flavours — recipes passed down orally through generations, once simmered in traditional kitchens but now missing from modern menus. Today, let’s revisit some of these lost and lesser-known Maharashtrian recipes that deserve a place at our dining tables again. 1. Ukadpendi – The Humble Cousin of Upma A nourishing porridge-like dish made from roasted wheat flour (gavhacha peeth), Ukadpendi was once the go-to comfort food in rural Maharashtra. Cooked with tempered spices, onions, green chillies, and sometimes buttermilk, it was a farmer’s energy booster before a long day in the fields. Its simplicity and nutritional value make it a perfect candidate for a modern revival. 2. Shevgyachya Shenganchi Amti – Drumstick Delight While drumsticks are used in sambar and bhaji, the flavorful amti (dal) made with she...
