Indian Food | Indian Festive Celebrations

30 Jan

What would Indian festive celebrations be without food?

Most popular and most well-attended in India, the Diwali Festival (Festival of Lights) signals the start of the Hindu New Year in India. It bodes good luck which is further enhanced with lighted and oiled lamps or diyas, and sharing of sweets. Another festival meanwhile is Onam is the Festival of Harvest in Kerala. Holi, the Festival of Colours, celebrated in either March or April marks the start the spring, with bonfires set under the full moon, and dancing all around. The eleven-day Ganesh Chaturthi honours the elephant-headed god, Lord Ganesh. In this festival, coconut, sweets and rice offerings are done. The festival activities include the display of statutes of Ganesh, their being paraded along with devotees singing and dancing, then being submerged in water. In these festivals, colourful sweets are shared and distributed to everyone.

The Diwali, Onam, Holi and Ganesh Chaturthi Festivals are just few of the many festivals in India. In all these, good food and sharing a meal with family and friends, as well as distribution of sweets add to the fun of the celebration.

Tea with milk and spices – chai tea has become a mainstay in coffee and tea shops.

This Indian tea is made using Masala-chai, mixed-spice. The tea is prepared by simmering milk with loose tea in water, sweeteners, ginger root and whole spices together. It is usually made with cow’s milk or buffalo milk. In areas in the present days, when these types of milk are not readily available, whole milk will do.

Another way of making this is to first boil the tea leaves then add the spices. Often in coffee houses, this aromatic black or mixed-spice (cinnamon, cloves, star anise) drink is referred to as chai tea latte and can be served other hot or cold.

Chai tea’s popularity in the international scene continues with more nationalities enjoying its flavour. What started therefore as traditionally British tea with milk, then made Indian by the addition of nutmeg and cloves, is now widely accepted worldwide.

Many Indian restaurants in the UK will serve Indian tea but it’s not always on the menu so it might be useful to ask.

Knowing What is Good Taste

16 Nov

It so happens that my dad is a good cook and we grew up being able to taste fine food that we always have been searching for after he passed away almost 4 years back. But we thank him for orienting us to good food and good tastes, so that everytime we go out and have dinner or lunch in restaurants, we know just what to order and we know if the establishment has good tasty food too. One of our more favorite restaurant chains is the crows nest restaurants which we are glad there happen to be a number of them available within Australia. They have good Spanish themed food that we love, and it is one of the better tasting food we have eaten in. Since we know what good food is, we are pretty sure the taste in this restaurant ranks up high in our list of good ones.

A Great Little Deli in Salt Lake City

31 May

The other day we were driving to Salt Lake City to come across this little deli they had some really great food. It was called Caputos Deli. Now, I don’t know Salt Lake City very well, I don’t know all the eating establishments from there either, but if you’re driving through staying the night in you looking for Salt Lake City food I definitely recommend this little deli. All of the food was really fresh and tasted really well. They had a huge selection of different types of meat and lots of different types of bread as well. They gave us fast service and were very friendly. After we were talking a while with the owner, we realized that we have a common friend in California. It’s such a small world!we don’t go by that part of the country very often, but next time we do will definitely stop by and see that little deli again and get myself another fantastic pastrami on rye.

Cost Cutting With Coupons

20 Aug

Are you using coupons to save money for you and your family? If you’re not you really are leaving a lot of money on the table.

Take for instance, applebees coupons. This site can save you up to 90% on your dinner sometimes. The coupons are not always there, but many times they are and that’s an incredible deal.

Let’s take a look at the number.

If your dinner is $50.00 and you only save 60% that means you’ve saved $30.00. Now you can take that $30.00 and see a movie or head over to a comedy club.

See what I mean?

Coupons are widely underused in America and I was a culprit as well. Only recently have I discovered the power of coupons and began to use them wisely and correctly.

When coupons really shine is when they are combined with a sale or other coupons. This takes practice and time, but then you are talking huge savings.
