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...

Unfortunately, many of these dishes—once part of everyday meals—are now vanishing from memory. Jharkhand is a land of forests, festivals, and flavours that few outside the region know about.

The Journey to Purity: My Wellness Discovery with Canistel

In today’s world, where even essentials are laced with chemicals and preservatives, staying healthy often feels like a battle. Every trip to the supermarket ends with doubt— Is this pure? Can I trust the label? As someone who values conscious living and traditional Indian wisdom, I’ve been searching for a brand that actually walks the talk. And then, one day, while scrolling mindlessly online, I stumbled upon Canistel — a name that felt as warm and earthy as the products it promised. A Mumbai-based farm-to-fork brand, rooted in ethical sourcing and rural empowerment. Something about it clicked, and I decided to give it a try. I ordered three essentials: A2 Desi Cow Ghee , Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil , and Badam Roghan . And here’s how each of them quietly transformed my everyday routine: A2 Desi Cow Ghee – The Golden Elixir If you're Indian, you know ghee isn’t just food—it’s emotion. Growing up, I remember the aroma of ghee wafting from my grandmother’s kitchen, lending magic to ...
