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.

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

Desserts and Sweets from the Streets

As a kid in the sixties, my first memory of sweet street food is kulfi or ice cream. As my childhood was spent on a university campus, no outside vendors were allowed on the campus. I remember how excited we (me and my sister) were when we used to go to the market or visit family friends outside campus. It was here when we saw these street vendors selling their sweet fare. The Kulfi vendor had a lottery system. there was a mould of a hand which the buyers (mostly children) had to press. On pressing the mould, a slip comes out with a number. If it comes with a number 3, the seller will give 3 kulfis for the price of one. Most of the time, it is one. I remember being lucky a few times and that feeling of getting more than one for the price of one was too overwhelming. 😊😋 You can buy my books on Amazon . From humble carts to busy markets, street vendors all over the world immortalize their blend of sugary savouries that make the stomach turn and awaken a sense of nostalgia. Shoulder t

The Tomato Conundrum: A Conversation Between Tomatoes and Veggies

In a bustling vegetable market, all the vegetables, curries, and lentils are gathered, anxiously discussing the ongoing tomato price crisis. Tomato (in a distressed voice): Oh dear, fellow vegetables, have you seen my price these days? It's skyrocketing! People are treating me like gold, and it's giving me acidity! Potato (comforting): Don't worry, dear tomato. You know you're an essential part of Indian cuisine. But yes, your current fame is making us a bit uneasy too. Onion (sarcastically): Acidity, huh? You're lucky, tomato! At least people are buying you. Look at me; they have stopped purchasing me because of your high price! Brinjal (sighing): It's the same story for me. My once-popular baingan bharta is now being ignored. People are only crying over the price of tomatoes. Lentils (mockingly): Oh, poor tomatoes, feeling the pressure of popularity? Don't you see? People can't afford to buy us anymore because they are busy saving for you! Tomato (defe
