FILTER COFFEE

                       After a long time, I am back with the post which is related to food. of course, everyone knows about the coffee. there is various blends and aroma that are obtained while mixing the coffee. As far as i know, the best blend in coffee is none other than the coffee that is made in the place named as kumbakonam in Tamil Nadu. the coffee is very famous and known as Kumbakonam degree coffee. the mixture of coffee and chicory is present in the right blend. There is a unique style of drinking coffee that is present among the people who are residing in that place. they used to have a dabara set. the used to pour the coffee in both the tumbler and this Dabara, they used to do till the sugar gets stirred properly.                        After that, they used to drink it. There are now-a-days many stalls are opened in the name of kumbakonam degree coffee,...

BEST COMBO LUNCH - DAAL CHINI

                Eating is very important activity that needs to be performed, so that we can have a survival in the world. There are a lot of rules and regulations that are to be adapted in order to make eating habits a great experience. But, i am a normal guy who does not believe much in those rules. I would eat the food I like to, rather than the food I get. On very less occasions, I would bear with the food that I get, rather than the food that I prefer. I have eaten a large variety of foods atleast after my schooling and I am going to discuss on the one menu, that stood out from all others and still now considered that it was the best lunch combo that I had so far in my life.                  The various aspects that are given importance for that menu might be the taste, quality,quantity and the price aspect of the food. The Price of the food was Rs180, definitely it is a costly food for many us....

ROADSIDE SNACKS VENDORS

                         When we raise a opinion or survey on people about, eating healthy or tasty foods? Most of them might go for the tasty foods rather than healthy ones. It is very difficult for us to control the taste and we might look out for medicines to keep us healthy. So, when we go for taste, the roadside vendor's food tastes better than the hotels in most of the cases. Some of the people might go for the roadside vendors to save money. I am a big fan of roadside foods. Especially those mushroom shops, Pani Poori Vendors, those samosa chat people and that Badam Kheer and Ice-cream wala people.                          In case, if we go to the costly restaurants, we might get angry, if the waiters over there won't respond and we might lose patience and ask when will we get the food. Those same people might wait in the roadside vendor shop. That ...

EATING ENVIRONMENT

                           Eat to live or live to eat, it depends upon the individual. But, what I feel is eating environment is another thing that influences the quantity of Food that we eat. If we consider, eating in a space nearby the pleasant area makes us eat more than the place where it is unpleasant. Eating in a restaurant that costs cheaper would be more than eating in the restaurant that costs more. Let us consider eating lunch in an office. Eating in a plate would be easier than eating the food that is present in the lunch box or tiffen box. The Tiffen box, being smaller in the surface area will be fully packed and very tight.                           This tightness in the tiffen box, makes the quantity to look more than the same quantity of food that is present in the plate. whereas, a plate that contains more surface area will make the qu...

FIRST TIME PIZZA

                             Pizza is a very well known food in most parts of the world. It may be used as a snacks or lunch or dinner. This is about the first time encounter of Pizza for me. I actually got to eat Pizza for the first time because of my cousin. She has won some competition and the sponsors were Pizza Hut. I never knew the term Pizza and was not interested too much into that till that day. The hosts of the competition delivered some Pizza to my cousin as the winning Prize. My dad went to see my grandparents that day. My grandmother thought that, those people in the house wont eat much except for the two cousins of mine.                              She gave a small part of the Pizza in tiffen box to me, so that I will get to taste that. I was not known much about Pizza at that time. I was a small kid may be 12 to 14 years...

PICKLE

                                  As we all know, that I have already discussed a lot about the curd rice. The best side dish for curd rice, nonetheless would be pickle. Pickle is nothing but the vegetable cut into some slices and the salt is being added. There are a lot of home made pickles and the pickle manufacturing companies. It gives us a great taste and makes us eat even some tasteless foods. In case if mother is not able to make any side dish in home, the first choice of side dish would be pickle. In certain cases, we wouldn't like the side dish made by mom and there also we might look out for pickle. Such is the specialty of pickle.                                   The pickles can be stored for a some months to a few years time interval, provided we don't disturb the mixture. There are few hotels in which p...

CHICKEN BIRIYANI

                         The first thing that comes in the mind of most of the people down south when they hear the word called as Sunday is nothing but the Biriyani. May be it might be a come dish in most of the houses. But, in my house Sunday means non-vegetarian, unless and until an auspicious day falls on Sunday. Biriyani can be made with vegetable or egg or fish or chicken or mutton and many more. But, since the list is too lengthy let us stop with these as they are more common. I like all among these, not only that I even like a writing of the word called Biriyani. But, why the heading is chicken Biriyani, why not about the others, the reasons would be stated in the upcoming paragraphs.                          The first and foremost reason being the availability of large amount chicken in almost all parts of the country. There might be certain place...

IDLY

                        Another post about one of the healthiest foods. Yes, the taste of idly might be boring. But, this food does not trouble anyone. The patients having fever can be fed this. The small infants can also be fed with idly. But, there are a lot of foods that have restriction of digestion problem. But, our Idly being one of the easily digestive foods. It was the Idly shop that opened first in many places and seeing there were many other competitors who started shops specifying the particular Indian foods. We mainly don't feel the taste of idly because it is too plain. The flour in which we make idly is pretty tasteless, still a little amount of salt is added in idly flour.                         But, there are a lot of side dishes or gravies that can make idly tasty. The vadacurry, the chutney, the sambar and anything can be made as a side-dish. Ther...

ALL THE WAY FOR HALWA

                                 Alwa is one of the famous sweets in Tamil Nadu and it is renown all over the world. Such is the wonderful taste of alwa. It might be present in most of the parts of Tamil Nadu. But, the real tasty alwa is present only in the Thirunelveli district. The major ingredients needed to make alwa includes Suji,sugar,water,ghee,cardamom,shredded almonds to garnish.There is one place known as "Iruttu Kadai"( Dark shop if we translate in English), it is the place where the Halwa has it's best taste. Usually, we won't halwa much. But after getting some friends who belong to Thirunelveli district. Alwa has become usual sweet for us at least once in a month.                                  Whenever that friend goes to his native, we ask them to bring Halwa, such is the specialty of the dish. It mi...

YUMMY MANGOES

                               Certain food items won't be available throughout the year. There is a particular season only on which those items would be available. One such item is mango, it is a fruit which would be liked by almost all. The major drawbacks of mangoes are that it would be available only during certain seasons April to June or July maximum. The next one is the cost price is a bit on the higher side, due to it's taste. The next one is the time required for it to get ripen. Another thing is, it might get spoiled within few days. But other than these constraints mango is a great fruit to consume, which would be universally agreed by all.                                One thing that I have heard about the ripening process was that, there are lot of fertilizers or chemicals are used to ripen the fruit artificially...

NON VEGETERIAN

                                There are a two divisions in food which can be classified as vegetarian and non vegetarian. As we all know the difference between vegetarian and non vegetarian, i am not going to discuss about it. But, the major confusion comes in the food called egg. There are certain group which are calling the egg as vegetarian and certain other groups calling them as non-vegetarian. So, finally they both compromised as started to call them as neither veg nor non-veg and coined the term called eggitarian. There was a greater confusion whether the egg came from hen or hen came from egg, which was the first? and after a lot of research, it was found out that, only chick came from egg and conclusion was made that only egg came from hen first.                                  The taste of non-veg is such tha...

CURD RICE

                                     As the title suggests, we are just going to discuss about the food named curd rice. Once upon a time, I just used to have only curd rice. Such is the love for the food I had. The softness of curd, the purity of cow milk, the taste of the curd. These are some of the reasons for which I liked curd rice. My mom always prepares curd in a great manner. My cousins and relatives who all had the curd prepared by her, used to appreciate it. The food that harms very less and that is most preferable in the summer season is curd rice.                                      Preparation of curd rice, takes less time when compared with other dishes. Whichever hotel we go, the curd rice costs lesser than other rices present in that hotel. Curd rice is the one which does not harm...

LOVE FOR SWEETS

                                      The food that would have definitely have been in taken by all the people, at least once in their life is milk. The first food given to a baby in his birth is milk. after certain months only, they will be given other foods. That is the taste and healthiness of milk. Milk are mostly from the cows and certain more domestic animals. There are certain people who mix water with milk. There are certain problems related to it, we are not going to discuss about that here. Sweets are most loved by all due to the taste.                                          But, these sweets cannot be taken in more quantity due to the effect it has, too much of anything is good for nothing. They might become poisonous if the intake is more than certain level. We might have s...
