It has been ranked as "the most livable city in India" several times. It is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and the key sectors of the local economy are education, manufacturing and information technology. It has also emerged as the new hub for tech startups in India.

Pune has witnessed engineering and other crucial sectors making it their headquarters, transforming it into a major industrial centre. Considered as the greenest urban areas of the nation, Pune has more than 40% of its area covered by greenery that is slowly degrading because of the real estate boom in Pune.

How to Reach

By air- The nearest airport is in Lohegaon, 10 kms from the main city of Pune. It is accessible by buses, cars or cabs.

By rail- Pune Railway Station is one of the major and most important railway junctions in the country. It is connected to all major Indian cities.

By Road- Indian and state highways are all connected to Pune. NH-4 connects Pune, Bangalore, Mumbai and Kolhapur. NH-9 joins the city to Hyderabad and NH-50 to Nashik. There is also a high-speed expressway connecting Pune to Mumbai.

Top Places of Commercial Interest in Pune

The Market Yard in Pune is a well-known market and vegetables, fruits and flowers are sold here at wholesale rate. Other major marketplaces in the city are Tulsi Baug Market, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar Market, Juna Bazaar or Old Market, Laxmi Road Market, Phule Market (Mahatma Phule Mandai), The Hong Kong Market Lane, Phoenix Market City, Viman Nagar, Inorbit Mall, Viman Nagar, SGS Kakde Mall, Amanora Town Centre, Hadapsar, Jewel Square, Koregaon Park.

India’s Frozen Food Market and Demand

The frozen food market in India is expected to continue its growth trajectory in the forecast period, and its market is expected to be US$ 3.1 Billion by 2026, from US$ 1.1 Billion in 2020.

In the previous years, only french fries and basic frozen vegetables were sold in India. But in the span of 5 to 10 years the frozen food industry in India has completely revolutionized. With the evolution of modern retail outlets like Food Bazaar, DMart, Spencers, and online grocery stores like Big Basket, Groffers frozen food industry in India is witnessing a positive growth. Although the consumption and supply of frozen food in India is still negligible in comparison to the world due to various reasons. These are a handful of existing players, the large population of India, higher-priced foods products, lower awareness among the consumers and challenges regarding infrastructure and logistics like shortage of cold storage are the present barriers to the growth of the frozen food market. A 180% increase in market is forecasted due to the fact that there has been a significant rise in the number of millennial and gen-Z consumers among the semi-urban and urban people. They are opting for improved awareness, convenience and acceptance of frozen food because it is quick and easily available. But the real challenge would be to maintain the price range of frozen food the same as normal products, for example fruits, vegetables and meat. 

Several government schemes like Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) and Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY) have provided financial support for building and enhancing new cold storage facilities in India. The advancement in cold chain infrastructure has further supported the supply and distribution of frozen food products in tier I cities. This has spurred growth in the country's frozen food market. The surging cases in this second wave of the coronavirus have made the whole country go into lockdown mode again. With most people working from home, shelves of frozen foods are clearing thick and fast  these days. These items are available year-round regardless of the season.

COVID-19 greatly impacted the restaurant businesses, giving more momentum to frozen foods. The low-ingredient availability has left everyone shifting towards ready-to-cook meals and frozen food alternatives. Looking at the spike in frozen foods, Indian companies are capitalising on local delicacies that comprise organic ingredients. 

Frozen food consists of frozen fruits, vegetables, fish & marine produce, meat, ready meals, bakery products, soups, and appetizers that provide domestic consumption and export opportunities. The surging number of Farmer Producer Organisations, solar-based refrigeration technologies, freezing and chilling facilities would boost the values of the farmers in India. When it comes to cuisine, India is known for its diversity. In order to satisfy the unique Indian palettes that require a different taste every now and then, companies have come up with more Indian variants like cutlets, samosas, parathas and kebabs, among others and there will never be a shortage of variety of food to freeze.

The key players of the India Frozen Food market are IFB Agro Industries Limited, McCain Foods (India) Private Limited, Godrej Tyson Foods Limited, Mother Dairy Fruit & Vegetable Private Limited, Tanvi Foods, Venky’s (India) Limited, ITC Limited, Innovative Foods Limited, West Coast Fine Foods Private Limited, Vadilal Industries Limited, Gadre Marine Export Private Limited, Al Kabeer Exports Private Limited and Darshan Foods Private Limited, among others.

Moreover, with the evolution of modern retail outlets like Food Bazaar, DMart, Spencers, and online grocery stores like Big Basket and Grofers, the frozen food industry in India is witnessing positive growth.

If you love a good curry, but keep making the same ones time and time again, it might be time to try something different. This healthy mushroom curry with cashew nuts is full of flavour, colour and nutritious ingredients. It’s one of Chetna Makan’s recipes from her new book, Chetna’s Healthy Indian Vegetarian. Plus there’s a chance to win a copy for yourself.

If you’re a fan of The Great British Bake Off, you will know Chetna Makan. She wowed the judges with her creative and vibrant flavour combinations back in 2014. But although she’s a keen baker, she also enjoys simple Indian home cooking. Chetna’s Healthy Indian: Vegetarian is her fourth book.

Chetna’s Healthy Indian: Vegetarian

Chetna was inspired to write this book after a research trip to India. Vegetables and home cooking are integral to the cuisine of most parts of this vast country. As well as making veg the star of the show, however, she also showcases recipes that are healthier than many. The tag lines, “everyday veg and vegan feasts; effortlessly good for you”, pretty much says it all.

Most of the recipes are really easy to make. And a lot of them are quite quick too.

The book is divided into eight chapters. Each chapter contains around ten recipes, although some have a couple more and some a couple less. I’ve looked at every single one and strangely enough, I want to try them all. Here’s a flavour of each of the chapters and what you might find therein.

Soups & Starters

Soup isn’t something I generally associate with Indian cuisine. But of course there are soup recipes. Every culture has them after all. Creamy tomato and coconut milk soup looks totally delicious. Sweet and sour garlic and tamarind rasam, on the other hand, sounds quite intriguing.

The salads are refreshing and light and include lentil and mango salad and grilled corn and red onion salad. You can treat these as a starter, a light lunch or a side.

Snacks & Canapés

The recipes in this chapter are perfect for entertaining. But they’re also great for picnics and packed lunches. Cheese and potato chapatti sandwiches sound counterintuitive , but I suspect I’d find them irresistible. They’re definitely on my list of must tries. I’ve made chocolate rocot0 stuffed chillies before and they nearly blew our heads off. Chetna has a recipe for gram flour stuffed chillies. She suggests finding the right chilli for your tastes before stuffing them. Much more sensible than our approach. 

Sabji

Sabji are dry vegetable dishes. Chetna describes them as akin to Indian vegetable stir-fries. Serve them on their own with flatbreads or to accompany curries and other dishes such as dal and rice. Chetna particularly likes to use them as stuffings for sandwiches, wraps and toasties.

Onion and green pea sabji is a great all rounder. It sounds delicious and given that most of us have a pack of frozen peas in the freezer, it can be made at a moment’s notice. I’m also keen to try sour and spicy okra with potatoes and asparagus paneer.

Lentils, Peas & Beans

Dal is one of my absolute favourite dishes. So I can’t wait to get properly stuck into the recipes in this chapter. You’ll find a basic quick and easy dal recipe for sure, but there’s so much more. In this chapter you’ll also find a recipe for a super green spinach masala chickpeas.

I know I have a pack of urad dal lurking around somewhere in the back of a cupboard. So I absolutely must make Chetna’s masala urad dal. It’s a nice thick one and it just sounds so good.

Curries

As you’d expect from Chetna, there are a few tricks and twists to elevate your curry cookery to the next level. The mushroom curry for example, isn’t just any old mushroom curry. It contains cashew nuts for extra texture, nutrition and flavour, but also gram flour for thickening.

There are also some unexpected finds. I understand jackfruit curry is quite common in India, but I’ve never seen a recipe for one in an Indian cookbook here in the UK before. Chetna has that one covered.

As much as I dislike the term fusion food, Chetna has snuck in a few adaptations. Look out for some standard British produce which gets a makeover. Here are a couple: broad bean curry; courgette kofta curry.

Rice & Roti

If you’re after a standard roti, paratha or naan bread recipe, this isn’t the book for you. Instead Chetna gives us a whole range of lesser known and unusual bread recipes. I’ve been exploring all sorts of flatbreads over the last few months and I’ve enjoyed the process enormously. But I have to say I’d never heard of kulcha until I saw the recipe for buckwheat kulcha in this book. But now, of course, I want to try it.

This chapter includes recipes for dosas, a beetroot chapatti and a chilli naan. When it comes to the rice side of things, expect to see such delights as bengali khichdi and aubergine and potato rice.

Raita & Chutney

The penultimate chapter of the book is for the spicy or cooling condiments that put the finishing touches to a good Indian meal. Roast carrot raita sits alongside a host of other yoghurt based sides. The tamarind and date chutney, with its sweet and sour notes, has my name written all over it.

Sweets

Well you can’t have an Indian cookbook without a few sweets to finish off. Indians have a notoriously sweet tooth. Chetna’s desserts err on the healthier end of the spectrum though and aren’t nearly as sweet as you’d expect. Rose sandesh, a strained milk based pudding, sounds particularly appealing.

Publisher Details

Chetna’s Healthy Indian: Vegetarian */ Chetna Makan. Published by Octopus Books in hardback with an RRP of £20. ISBN – 9781784726621.

If you like the sound of this cookbook, head down to the bottom of the post where you’ll find the chance to win a copy.

What I Really Like

Although there are some familiar recipes in the book, such as chana dal there are many more unusual ones. This gets me excited.

Every recipe has a photograph to show the finished dish. This is quite a rarity in cookbooks these days. As you’d expect, they all look good and eminently toothsome. But there’s also a number of shots taken in India. These are mostly of market produce, but there’s a few buildings and street scenes thrown in to conjure up an exotic, sultry and colourful aura – the essence of India.

Some cookbooks these days are obsessed by celebrity culture and feature more shots of the author than they do of the recipes they’ve created. I’m very pleased to say that Chetna is not such a person. There are only two photos of her in the whole book and they’re both in the introduction.

I’m a big fan of pulses, which is just as well as they’re a mainstay of my diet. Not only are they nutritious and tasty but they’re also incredibly versatile. It seems I’m not alone. Chetna is also a fan. To help those that aren’t as familiar with peas, beans and lentils as she is, there is a Pulse Primer section in the book.

Her guide to the individual qualities of different pulses is to encourage readers to explore and use a wider variety than they may be familiar with.

What Could Be Better

To be honest, I’m struggling to think of anything.

Mushroom Curry with Cashew Nuts

We really enjoyed Chetna’s mushroom and cashew curry. I’ve called it mushroom curry because there aren’t really that many cashews included. They do add to the overall texture and flavour though, so they’re an important addition.

To turn this mushroom curry into a vegan offering rather than a vegetarian one, just swap the dairy yoghurt for a plant based one.

It’s a standalone dish, quite capable of top billing. Just serve it with rice or flatbreads. That said, it would also make a fabulous contribution to a curry night. Pair it with a dal and some sort of green vegetable curry maybe. I’ve provided a selection of curries further down the post which would all make excellent accompaniments.

#gallery-0-10 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-10 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-10 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-10 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Fry the cumin seeds, onions and cashew nuts.

Add the garlic or garlic scapes.

I mostly followed the recipe, but did make a couple of adjustments. We had a load of garlic scapes from the allotment that I needed to use up. So I added quite a lot of those rather than the garlic listed in the recipe. As there was quite enough allium activity going on, I only used one onion rather than two.

Gram Flour for Thickening

Watery curries aren’t generally that appealing. Chetna, however, has a great tip for thickening the sauce for this cashew mushroom curry. She uses chickpea flour, also known as gram flour or besan. Well what a brilliant idea this is.

The flour not only helps to thicken the sauce, but it also add flavour and a little extra protein. And it’s gluten-free, so there’s no need to worry about any allergies on that score.

Add the gram flour to the fried onions along with the spices and stir. I also added salt and pepper at this stage as I thought it would be harder to stir everything together later in the proceedings.

Top Yoghurt Tip

I’m always wary of adding yoghurt to curries as the yoghurt tends to split. Consequently, the resulting dish doesn’t look very appetising. Chetna’s top tip is to add water to the yoghurt before adding it to the other cooking ingredients. It worked perfectly in this mushroom curry. Just give it a good stir before you pour it in and don’t add it all at once. Slow and steady wins the race.

#gallery-0-11 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-11 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-11 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-11 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Stir in the yoghurt & water after adding spices and gram flour.

Add chopped tomatoes.

I deviated from Chetna’s instructions at this point. Who am I to mess with her recipe? Well it seems I just can’t help myself. I mixed all of the water with the yoghurt and added it in after frying the onions etc. It somehow made more sense to me to do it that way. I poured it in slowly whilst giving it a good stir to mix in the gram flour and spices. It worked fine.

At this point, you add the tomatoes, clap the lid on the pan and allow the contents to gently simmer for ten minutes.

Cooking the Mushrooms

Finally it’s the turn of the main ingredient. Add the sliced mushrooms and coriander leaves. Turns out I had plenty of parsley, but no coriander leaves. So I substituted the first for the second. Cover the pan again and cook for a further ten minutes. Job done.

#gallery-0-12 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-12 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-12 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-12 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Add the mushrooms and coriander (or parsley) leaves.

Cover and cook for ten minutes, then give a good stir and serve.

My top tip is that mushrooms really benefit from a little drop of soy sauce. So I added a teaspoonful of tamari along with the mushrooms for an extra umami boost.

We accompanied the mushroom curry with rice initially. But as there were only two of us, there was plenty left over. So the following evening I warmed the curry up and we enjoyed it with flatbreads.

2 tbsp gram flour

100 g natural yoghurt

250 ml water

3 to matoes – finely chopped

400 g chestnut mushrooms – thinly sliced

20 g coriander leaves ((I used parsley))

¾ tsp salt ((I used ½ tsp salt and 1 tsp tamari))

¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium to low heat and add the cumin seeds. Once they start to sizzle, stir in the cashew nuts followed by the onions.

Cook for about twelve minutes or until the onions are golden brown. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute.

Add the gram flour and remaining spices and stir fry for another minute.

Stir the yoghurt and water together and pour into the pan, a little at a time, stirring all the while. I added the salt and pepper at this point.

Bring it up to a simmer then add the tomatoes. Cover the pan and simmer gently for ten minutes.

Add the mushrooms, coriander leaves and the salt and pepper, if you haven’t already done so. Cover and simmer for a further ten to fifteen minutes or until the mushrooms are cooked.

Give it a good stir and serve warm with rice or flatbreads.

To make this curry vegan, just swap the yoghurt for a plant based one.

Please note: calories and other nutritional information are per serving. They’re approximate and will depend on serving size and exact ingredients used.

Matar paneer recipe | How to make restaurant style matar paneer recipe

Matar paneer is a delicious cury made of paneer cubes and fresh peas cooked in a rich, spicy and tangy gravy. Matar paneer is one of my favorite North Indian dishes.

Matar paneer is a popular dish ordered in Indian restaurants and is also a favorite on special occasions and parties. The dish has its origin in north Indian state of Punjab and is popular more in north, although now it has gained a much wider footprint.

What is paneer?

Paneer is a type of fresh, soft cottage cheese native to the Indian subcontinent. Paneer recipes are an integral part of Indian cooking. Paneer is a versatile dairy product and is used in an assortment of Indian curries, snacks and sweets.

Healthy & delicious

Matar paneer curry is rich in proteins. While peas are packed with proteins and are low in carbohydrates, the other dominant ingredient paneer which is made from whole milk is rich in proteins and calcium.

The near perfect combination of mild sweetness of fresh Peas, coupled with paneer cubes along with tanginess of tomatoes in a spicy and creamy gravy makes this dish thoroughly delectable.

Serving suggestions

Matar paneer forms part of Indian main course meal and goes very well with most Indian breads like phulkas, naan, tandoori roti, paratha, poori etc. as well as with rice varieties like veg pulao, jeera rice or even plain rice.

Many times matar paneer is made a few hours prior to actual serving of the dish. This is to allow Paneer to soak curry which makes it more delectable.

So follow the steps given below to make this delicious and mouth watering recipe of matar paneer.

Ingredients to make matar paneer

Vegetable oil for shallow frying

500gms paneer

2 tbsp vegetable oil

250gms onion finely chopped

2” ginger roughly chopped

2 cloves garlic roughly chopped

1 heaped tsp cumin seeds

1 heaped tsp coriander seeds

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp mild chilli powder

400gms tomatoes blended to a puree

Pinch of sugar

Salt to taste

200mls water

200gms frozen/fresh green peas

½ tsp garam masala powder

Handful of coriander for garnish

Method to make matar paneer

1.Grind the cumin seeds and coriander seeds to a powder in a spice grinder or pestle and mortar. Set aside.

2.Blend the ginger and garlic with a splash of water to a smooth paste and set aside.

3.Dab any excess moisture from the paneer on kitchen paper and cut into bite size cubes.

4.Heat vegetable oil for shallow frying in a pan over a medium heat.

5.Add the paneer cubes in batches and fry. Make sure they get an even colour and go a light brown (this should take around 2-3 minutes).

6.Drain over kitchen paper and add to a bowl of warm water. Let it soak while you make the gravy.

7.Heat oil in a heavy bottom sauce pan over a medium heat.

8.Add the onions and fry for 12-14 minutes. Stir well as they begin to change colour turn the heat low and add the ginger and garlic paste. Fry well for 2 minutes stirring continuously.

9.Add the cumin, coriander powder along with the turmeric and chilli powder. Fry for a minute and add a splash of water making sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan and continue cooking the raw flavour of the spices for a further minute.

10.Add the blended tomatoes simmer the curry over a low heat for 8-10 minutes with lid on. Stir a couple of times through the cooking process.

11.Add 200mls water along with the sugar and salt. Continue to simmer for 5 minutes with the lid on.

12.Add frozen/fresh green peas along with the garam masala.

13. Drain the water from the paneer and add the cubes to the curry. Stir well making sure to coat all the pieces with the sauce.

14.Simmer for 2 minutes and turn the heat off. Garnish with coriander and serve with paratha or pulao and raita.

Punjab Indian Market & Cuisine, 618 W Las Tunas Dr, San Gabriel, CA 91776

Punjab Market moved from their old location in Alhambra to an intersection that I drive by all the time. I shop and dine at Namaste Spiceland in Pasadena. Punjab Market is considerably smaller but it appears to have most of what someone shopping at an Indian store would want – fresh produce, frozen foods, spices, tea, snacks, etc. They also have a case of Indian sweets. The interior looks newly renovated.

The deli/prepared foods area has ample seating. Since it’s a Punjabi market that appears to be Sikh owned, the menu is focused on the foods of Northern India (Namaste has a Southern India all vegetarian menu). The buffet section is smaller but you can order a wide variety of items, including appetizers, vegetable dishes, chicken dishes, lamb dishes, tandoori, breads (naan, roti, paratha), rice, drinks, and desserts. The lunch combos start at $6.99. Dinner combos start at $8.99.

* Lunch combo 2 ($7.49): choice of chicken dish, choice of veg curry, plain naan, basmati rice, raita or kheer. The basmati rice was plain. The chicken tikka masala only had three cubes of boneless chicken, but that’s not unusual. The rich tomato cream sauce had a lovely depth of flavor from the combination of spices. The chicken wasn’t dry. The mixed veg featured cauliflower, peas and carrots cooked till soft – typical for Indian veggies. The naan was big, thin, chewy and a little puffy. They have a tandoor oven, I think.

* Chai ($1) – lovely flavor but way too sweet. It would be better if they didn’t sweeten it and allowed patrons to sweeten to taste.

I’m sure that I’ll be back to try the lamb dishes.

4 out of 5 stars

It is also home to some of India's premier scientific and nuclear institutes.Mumbai is also home to the world famous Bollywood industry and Marathi cinema industries. Mumbai's business opportunities attract migrants from all over India.

You will find an amalgamation of cultures in Mumbai. The streets are always filled and on the sides of every street you will find a myriad of temples, mosques, colonial era buildings and old bazaars.You can also take a dive at the beaches, but people generally don’t prefer that as it is polluted. Instead the breathtaking view of Marine Drive will mesmerize you.

Capital values remained almost constant in many places apart from South Central Mumbai where values declined marginally by 2%. The total value of all homes in the US is $33.6 trillion. An analysis by Zillow, a real estate database company, estimated that housing value in the US is 160 percent of the country’s GDP. The value of homes in New York alone is equal to the GDP of India.

Residential capital values in the city are expected to face downward pressure due to subdued transaction activity and increase in launches during the last quarter of the year. The annual property tax collection by the municipal corporation is Rs 5,000 crore.

Whichever value one adopts, it is clear that the stakes in Mumbai real estate are very high. At a valuation of $800 billion, it is equivalent to 43 percent of India’s total stock market value and 29 percent of GDP.

A few Strategies to Increase Sales:-

Contemporize brand engagement- The type of snacks consumers purchase often depends on their age and lifestyle preferences, for example millennials tend to consume assorted snacks throughout the day whereas older people consume very less frequently and tend to have a certain specific choice.

Incorporate local flavours and tastes- For your business to thrive in Pune, you need to cater to understand the taste buds of local people. Their preferences and choices have to be considered to boost your sales.

Promote bundling opportunities- Encourage your customers to try something new by promoting a bundle or two-for deal, and buy one-get one free deals.

Know about your inventory- Customers are loyal to your best selling products, so be aware of the top products’ inventory levels.

Watch upcoming trends- It is important to keep a watchful eye on upcoming trends for continued growth in the industry. Trends in the snack category show which ingredients must be premimtized at what time.

The Marketing Plan for Ready-to-Eat and Instant Food Sales

Branding and marketing are the two important pillars when it comes to business strategy and improving your sales. However, there is a vast difference between branding and marketing, as well as the actions for success for each. Branding relates to creating a company’s name, logo, and design that easily describe belonging to the company. It helps to identify the product and differentiate it from other products and services.

Brand Improves Recognition

Brand Build Trust

Brand Increases The Business Value

Brand Attracts New Customers

Marketing gets the word out about your business. It allows you to connect with potential customers and inform them of all the services you offer. Proper marketing and branding combined can boost your sales at an astounding pace and help you build a consistent client-base.

 Marketing Informs The Consumer

Marketing Sustains The Company Existence

Marketing Engages More Customers and Sells More Products

Not doing sales planning is like running your business on a wing and praying and hoping that the dart you threw blindfolded will hit the bullseye.There might be a chance you will get lucky and hit the bull’s eye but there is also a  chance you’ll poke someone’s eye out.

Planning Helps To Overcome The Unforeseen Risks

Planning Minimizes Your Risk

Planning sets Achievable Goals And Milestones

Our main tasks to cater to improving your sales, therefore involve Distribution Network Set-Up, Find Channel Partners, Appointing Distributors and Dealers and Find Sales Agents.

Hi All,

I had read about loads of eating joints in Bangalore but this was referred by a friend and trust me it was an absolute delight to the taste buds. It has wide variety of Desi and Videshi food from chaats to paanipuri, from kolkata rolls  to lucknowi biryani, from nachos to prafait,from tacos to tikka, from burgers to kebabs, from icecreams to frozen yogurt, from paratha to pancake, from dosa to pizza and the list goes on and on.Its serves both veg and non veg food.

I loved overall concept of the place be it the ambiance,food or its amphitheater.

Concept of the payment is wonderful, every visitor is handed over a eat street smart card and where ever you purchase a food item you have to swipe this card and you have to make a final payment at the exit.

For all the food we ate , total bill was 1700 approx for 4 people.

    Mattar paratha and Onion paratha

Nachos

Paneer Tacos

Tokri Chat

Veg Spring Rolls

Frozen Mango Yogurt

Vanilla and Fruits Prafait

Dry Fruit Shake,Spiced Buttermilk, Strawberry smoothie, Cold Coffee and Chikoo Milkshake

Review: Eat Street Kormangala-Food Paradise Hi All, I had read about loads of eating joints in Bangalore but this was referred by a friend and trust me it was an absolute delight to the taste buds.

[goindikitchen]

Evening all, so do I have a treat in store for you. This is an absolute cracker! It is also really easy as I have incorporated a little cheat. Never the less there is no compromise when it comes to taste, this will blow your mind!

A traditional street food which you will find on every street corner in Kolkata, I make it my ultimate ritual once I land in the city to hit my favourite kathi roll vendor. A humble establishment situated on the corner of Park Street, Kolkata; Golden Spoon is the focal point when seeking my holy grail in kathi Rolls. My order, chicken egg roll, the price (last time I checked) 54 Rupees….Delightfulness at its pinnacle.

This eggy, crispy, spicy wrap of loveliness is an ensemble of paratha flash fried in dalda with a fried egg until crispy. Slapped on the side and doused in masala spiced chicken, salt, pepper, chilli sauce, onions and lime juice; it gets all wrapped up in a grease proof paper and served steaming hot! And it is amazing! So here my homage to the humble Kathi Roll. You Beauty!

Cheat: Visit the freezer department of your local Asian Supermarket and purchase a packet of frozen, plain paratha’s.

Ingredients   – Serves 4 (4 x Rolls):

Cooking Time…around 30mins.

3 x Chicken Breasts

2 x Limes

1 x  Red onion thinly slices

4 x Eggs

4 x Frozen paratha’s

Hot Chili Sauce ( I use Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce – Available in Sainsbury’s)

2 x tbsp. Chat Masala mix

1 x tbsp. veg oil per roll

1 tsp. Garam masala

1/2 tsp. Chilli powder

1 x tbsp. ginger paste

1 x tbsp. garlic paste

salt and pepper

Method:

Step 1:

Take you chicken and slice into small pieces around 1 -2  cm. Place in a bowl and add the ginger and garlic pastes and all the spices. Leave to marinade for 15 minutes.

Step 2:

Take the marinated chicken and flash fry in a little oil in a hot pan for 6 – 10 minutes then place to one side for later.

Step 3:

Add 1 tbsp. of oil to a hot pan. Take your frozen paratha (still frozen not defrosted) and place in the pan and allow to cook and crisp up on one side. Once golden, flip like a pancake and cook for a further couple of minutes. Meanwhile, crack an egg onto the upside facing paratha and break the yoke allow to cook for 20 seconds. Then pick up the paratha, allowing the eggy mixture to sizzle in the pan and then place the flipped paratha over the top of the egg, a bit like “French toast”. Continue cooking until the egg is cooked and the paratha crispy.

Step 4:

Once cooked, place on the side, add a handful of sliced red onion, followed by a handful of spiced chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and a swig of chilli sauce then finally; squeeze a wedge of lime over the top and wrap! Done!

Enjoy and please do let me know how it goes, you Guys really need to try this. It amazing! (Have I said this already?) Anyway give it a go!
