All Foods A - Apples & Artificial Sweetner

As I had mentioned in my last post, which I had posted just a few minutes ago, though it should be posted yesterday and it was ready last night only but I guess, I forgot to click "publish". Forgetfulness or old age dementia? Whatever... I prefer to forget it and move to today's post. It's 1st April, the day of "A's" in my A2Z challenge. As I thought of three food items starting from A, apple comes first, and why not, I had learned A for Apple, then taught the same to my sons and now my granddaughter is teaching me the same. Artificial sweeteners are the other foods from A, which I will be covering in this post. APPLES Who does not know the old adage - "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"? A fresh apple is an ideal mid-morning or evening snack. It is an easy-to-carry snack that really satiates hunger. I love to eat the whole apple and the flow of juice in my mouth as I bite into fresh apples (only from Apna Kashmir or Himachal Pradesh) i...

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...

A CHEF BY CHANCE _ MEET ANJU AGGARWAL FROM SANIYA KITCHEN

Our guest foodpreneur this week is Ms. Anju Aggarwal who has been running "Saniya Kitchen" for the last 3 years. She came into this business just by chance. An Ahmedabadi by birth , she has found her soulmate here. She is born, brought up and settled in Ahmedabad. A true blue Ahmedabadi :). She has a large circle of friends and family in the city. She is married into a well-to -do Marwari family. Generally in marwari families, women are expected to manage the household and do not go out to work. After settling down in marriage, Anju was craving for an identity. Her driving force to do something of her own was to come out of the family shadow and have an identity of her own. Her marital family is large and they have a very active social life. Her cooking skills were always appreciated by one and all. With more appreciation coming in and daughters' demand for new dishes from different cuisines, she has started experimenting and learning a lot. She was busy raising the famil...

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...

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...
