I Tried Five Hazelnut Coffees in India and I Have a Clear Winner!

Heavennut...sorry sorry...Hazelnut. But then, who can not call it that when it tastes like that. Especially with chocolate. Mmmmm....And, It's humanly impossible to count the number of Nutella freaks in this www...i mean...whole wide world ;P right?

But these days, Hazelnut is making it's way in to many kinds of food and beverage products. Like Granola, Granola bars, Muesli, Ice cream, Gelato, Milkshake, Biscuit, Toast, Rusk, etc., etc., But, i myself never imagined that it would go in to coffee. So, here's how my journey with Hazelnut Coffee began...

First trial:

Amidst my Hazelnut chaos, i encountered a Hazelnut latte in Starbucks and i jumped and ordered it immediately. But, that was a nightmare! Because, it tasted nothing like Hazelnut but a pure sugar syrup!! :(

Second:

This is when i was ordering my regular groceries from bigbasket.com

I chanced up on Nescafe Hazelnut coffee and ordered one. Tried it excitedly but, ended up being utterly disappointed. I found No trace of Hazelnut. :(

Third:

This time it was Little's Rich Hazelnut Flavour Infused Instant Coffee which i again found on amazon.in when i was sulking in disappointment with all the hazelnut coffees that i had tried till now. After reading all the positive reviews, my expectations were kinda high. After receiving the product, i very excitedly unscrewed the cap and shove my nose in it only to gag to my death!

Fourth:

I was in Krispy kreme ordering my Donut. I felt like i need some coffee to charge me up so, i was scanning the menu and i found Hazelnut latte. Ordered it. Disappointed again! :(

Fifth and Final:
(Not Sponsored. I Swe*r! Jhoot boley kavva kaatey! ;P)
I saw an ad on instagram by "beanwander" which was about flavoured coffees. At first, i was like...chalo yaar...phir se nahi! (Oh No! Not again!!!) I've seen many people promote this on instagram. And, you know how instagrammers are these days...they promote anything because they call themselves an influencer. (Yes, i'm on instagram too but, i'm definitely not an Influencer!) But then, being a caramel fan, i was intrigued by their Creamy caramel flavour. So, i ordered it anyways and received a sample of Mint and Hazelnut variants with it. I tried the hazelnut with zero expectations but guess what! one sip and i was floating in Hazelnut heaven!!! So, this is the WINNER! A CLEAR WINNER!!! From that day, i have become a "Winner Winner Coffee Sinner"! (No, i don't play PUBG! I just keep hearing 'winner winner chicken dinner' from the people who play it).

Full Review of The Wandering Bean Nutty Hazelnut Coffee and three other variants shall be up soon. :) Until then, i am gonna Sin away with my Hazelnut cuppa and You, keep drooling! ;D or, you can Order your bottle from Amazon.in. (You can click on this link to land on the product page directly. And No, This is not a Sponsored link. I don't earn a Rupee if you buy through this link.)

Have you tried any Heavennut...oops... Hazelnut coffee? :D Got any favorites? Share away in the comments section below. Let's spread some Heavennut-Hazelnut Love across the country. :)

Infinite Love,

Discounted Obesity – How food apps might encourage mindless eating and increasing obesity!

Author: Anirudh Tulsiram, Bangalore

"How about adding that extra fries and coke for just Rs.80?"

We often see combo offers like these that make it irresistible for us while ordering food on online food delivery applications. These applications have done well in the department of saving time and giving us the convenience of getting food at the click of a button.

These applications have also given the consumer the liberty of choosing dishes based on mood and not restrict the platter to what one restaurant can cater.

While all the above mentioned benefits seem like a no brainer to the average consumer, they often discount the shift in behaviour when it comes to eating food.

I clearly remember the excitement, as a kid, when I was ordered pizzas from on the website. The whole experience of anticipating the pizzas to appear like the ones I saw online, to the delivery person ringing the bell and me paying the exact change (courtesy my mother) was unbelievable.

The ordering of pizza was a luxury and the prices of the pizza were high! I particularly liked pizza while my dad, mom and baby sister were still getting used to eating something other than regular rice and curry.

Photo Credits: KitchenTreaty.com

Fast track to the year 2016 ish, most of the in-store experiences started to become app based. Be it groceries, medicines, spectacles even transport (doesn't come under in-store experiences) could be availed from your mobile phone with a few clicks.

Change in consumer behaviour and the comfort these applications gave the consumers were evident. Many companies offered their products to be ordered from their own website, slowly moving to a few aggregators taking over the application space to further applications becoming the new normal.

Most of these aggregators were/are funded and have deep pockets. They have products that can be offered at a far lesser price than the retail business can manage.

Thus understanding the food aggregators and what they might be doing to the general population gets interesting.

Photo Credits: Mashable.com

The common knowledge of building products is to induce the 'hook' mechanism. This helps the consumers keep using the product often. All social media platforms use this 'hook' mechanism to keep consumers continue using the product.

This is very similar to what the food aggregators have done incredibly well with notifications and discounting the bill with promotional codes.

Nowadays, consumers regularly order food online. It could be when they are bored, at irregular hours (late nights) or even over weekends. Families have reduced visits to their favourite restaurants on weekends. Ordering online is not online the new trend, it's the one to stay.

Having ordered a few dozen times myself from these food delivery applications, I have often realized that I tend to over order or order what I don't need. This happens because of the slight nudge that due to promo codes or discount coupons.

Photo Credits: FreeClues.com

What happens next is amazing - I eat everything that I have ordered! That's the underlying problem. It's got to do with two things:

Constantly being told to not waste food while growing up.
Mindless eating.

The change of focus lies in between the time of ordering and the delivery time. Either our rationality goes flying out the window when we see the food or we just consume to ensure we don't waste.

I have also observed, this does not happen when we order in excess at a restaurant. We politely ask the staff to pack the extra food and bring it home, only to consume it for our next meal.

I am no behaviour expert, but I think this restaurant behaviour is often the result of trying not to be judged by the people sitting beside us for either disrespecting food or being ignorant and not finishing our food.

Overall, I see myself and a few others doing displaying this behaviour constantly. Ordering extra food because the value of the offer exceeds the quantity that could be consumed i.e., getting more quantity/extra food for proportionately lesser money.

Example: 1 Idly and 1 Vada at 19 rupees. I ordered 2 of those. For someone who does not have anything in the morning generally, I overate. So did my friend - 'Discounted Obesity'.

Considering there are much more concerning issues that could be written about the whole food delivery aggregators, we cannot discount the 'Discounted Obesity' that will happen to the urban population soon.

So the question really is:

While food delivery applications provide us with the ease and convenience of ordering food wherever and whenever we want, are they a reason behind mindless eating among us hence leading to the larger crisis of 'Discounted Obesity'? And what in your opinion can be a solution?

Comment below if you have thought about the above and share your opinions with us!

Mysuru Brew Kombucha by Depth 'n Green | Good to Know Facts

As you all know I was in Mysore about two weeks ago and while I roamed around exploring the city, in the hot summer heat, I landed up in this small joint Depth 'n' Green, in one of the most sort after areas of Mysore, Gokulam.

I like a place for its character, a place where the owners love what they do and that's when I met Pushpir, a trained chef from America roaming around like a busy bee talking on the phone, but what caught my attention the most was the genuine smile on his face.

Pushpir: Owner - Depth 'n' Green

This small eatery had so much life around it and the ambience so positive that you would like to sit down and get lost in your thoughts surrounded by smiling faces and some delicious vegetarian food.

I started talking to Pushpir, also excited as we share our mother tongue, and he reminded me of all the good folks back home (Punjab) and how seriously we Punjabis take our food. The next thing I know, we had been chatting for about 30 minutes and it was time for me to leave.

But in between conversations and learning about his eventful past, I had a chance to get myself a Kombucha, this fermented tea, pungent smelling when you take that first sip, but it had something about it that I had to share it with all of you.

Before I tell you more about the Kombucha, I highly recommend Depth 'n' Green, if you are from Mysore or visiting. I can't wait to visit again and try out the oh so appetising food.

What is Kombucha?

Kombucha is fermented black or green tea which is naturally effervescent and a tad bit alcoholic due to the bacteria and yeast used in the preparation to make this funny smelling, yet a must have drink!

What are the ingredients of Kombucha?

Main ingredients used to make Kombucha are: Green or Black Tea, Sugar, Bacteria and Yeast.

Benefits of Drinking Kombucha?

This drink is high in Probiotics (good bacteria) and thus great for a healthy gut.
Kombucha is a good source of Vitamin B which further helps with metabolism and increased energy levels
The drink is definitely hydrating and makes for a great natural drink for summer.
When made with green tea it is also a source of anti oxidants.
It relieves inflammation and helps reduce hypertension and stress.
To top it all, Mysuru Brew Kombucha is also Vegan.

So yes, it is an acquired taste as I mentioned to Pushpir, but it sure is something you should try. The lingering taste kinda of gets you hooked and so do the immediate after effects. For me it was the best thing I had all day in the soaring Mysore heat.

Top 4 Unique Picks at Mysore-In-A-Market, 2019

This past weekend I had the opportunity to visit Mysore for a short trip, during which I visited this crazy flea, Mysore-in-a-Market. Bangalore is so overdone with fleas that sometimes all of them look and feel the same and almost all brands that we come across are similar. Therefore, this market was something fresh and in the short while I went around, below are some of my favourite picks:

Pickle Shikkle

Most people I know either live away from their parents or don't have the time to make some delicious mouth watering pickles at home. It's sort of a lost art in a way!

But like all Punjabis around the world, you can keep a Punjabi away from home but you cannot keep the Punjab in them away. These crazy Punjabi pickles were to die for! Each and everyone of the flavours, was just like how my mother makes it at home. Completely natural and without any chemicals, making it something you have to try out today!

Website: https://pikkleshikkle.com/

URU India

Aren't we always trying to make our home decor look classic and find decor which not only suits our taste but is also a conversation starter. Uru India, actually a Bangalore based company, brings out the best of the Indian subcontinent in the most artistic, creative and tasteful way. And that is possible because they try to preserve the Indian Traditional Crafts by working directly with artisans across the country to give each of us the true essence of the rich history of India.

Website: http://uruindia.com/

Embar: Soaps and Salves

We talk about skincare all the time and instead of finding home remedies we go to and buy brands which may or may not be natural and in the long run harm your skin more than repair it. But this brilliant all natural brand works with farmers and uses natural and organic ingredients to make some delightful skin pampering products. I sampled the facial hydrating mousse, and my burning skin felt immediate relief and it stayed that way all day, leaving my skin feeling fresh despite the killer Mysore heat.

Intoxicake

Now, I have not tried this yet but the entire concept of natural healthy food ready-to-eat just entices me. I am generally running around trying not to eat unhealthy meals or snacks, because we conveniently fall short of time when it comes to food in our day to day lives. So what excited me most about this brand was the ready-to-make Divinity Hot Chocolate in different flavours and to top that, the ready-to-eat SuperFood Smoothieee mixes!!!! Who knew! Love the concept can't wait to try it out. You should try it too!

The Thirst for Best and Worst of 2018.

2018 is coming to an End and I am very Excited about the New Beginnings with 2019!(will announce it soon) Yayyy! Now, who doesn't get excited with the 'Best' and 'Worst' lists and conclusions!? Best and Worst Movie of 2018, Best and Worst Gadgets of 2018, Best and Worst Cars of 2018, Best and Worst Diets of 2018, Best and Worst Smartphone Trends of 2018, Everything Best and Worst of 2018...... But wait, You were Expecting a "Best and Worst Natural Beauty and Lifestyle products of India 2018 Round-up" from Me Right? Infact, that is what anyone would expect that from any Beauty Blogger. But, i decided to Swim Against the Current! Because, just like that fish in the picture below, A Truth Flashed in my mind.

First, i thought i will do a Best and Worst of 2018 breakdown but, later when i was about to list them all, a Question Flashed in my head: Is there ever an 'Absolute' for Best? Can that Thirst for 'The Best' ever be Quenched? Nah...Not really. The WAR will Forever be ON! For example: Some people Love Eggnog whereas some people Loathe it(i am one of them). Some people Love Ranveer Singh(i am one of them) and some people Loathe him! So, It's always "To Each His Own". Agree?

I am not telling this Randomly but by my Experience. Because, all these products were 'Best' for me in one climatic/water condition but when i used them in other climatic/water conditions, they weren't really 'The Best' ones. And sometimes, a product dearly loved by my friend or family member was an Absolute nightmare for me! Every one of you might have gone through similar experiences. Right? So, i decided to provide a link to all the products that i Loved at one point or the other and Let YOU DECIDE what could be THE BEST for YOU according to your preference and the conditions you live in. And, since this post has a political vibe to it, let me make it clear that i am not against any blogger who chooses to do the Best and Worst listings. This was just My Personal Choice. Do Not Miss the End. ;)

Here is the picture of all products without that huge red sticker:

Raisin Cheese with Honey-Sesame Vermicelli Recipe. A Warm and Sweet Edible Christmas Wreath.

Ho Ho Ho! Jingle Bells! Christmas is here and so is 'This' Santa with the "Raisin cheese" and Honey-Sesame Vermicelli to bless you with Health. No no...not the Dish but, the Recipe. :D

A Warm and Sweet Edible Christmas Wreath. :)

Did you ever eat Raisin Cheese? No...not the Raisin Cheesecake. I am talking about the Raisin Flavoured Cheese! Did you? Did i? Yes, And, that too by Accident! ;P Read on to know how. ;)

My Original Idea was to make a "Raisin Rabdi". But, after making the plain Milk Rabdi, i mixed in the Raisin puree and cooked it more to thicken it. That's when some compound in the Raisin decided to act on the milk and turn it in to Cottage Cheese consistency. And, that's how i tasted Raisin Cheese! ;P Anyhow...it tasted good with the "Honey-Sesame Vermicelli" so, i decided to share the recipe with you all. :) I will give another try with the Raisin Rabdi and if i succeed, will definitely share the recipe with you. :)

Enough of this Long and Boring(was it?) chat. Let's just jump to the recipe of this Healthy and Super Tasty Sweet Treat. :)

Note: I am not writing it in a regular step wise fashion. I am quite new to this food blogging thing and i get confused with writing steps and listing out ingredients. No no...Don't blame my MS because, i have been bad with numbers and orderly things right from my childhood. So, let me just write everything down in a 'casual chat' fashion. :)

1.Raisin Cheese with Honey-Sesame Vermicelli: First, dry roast the Vermicelli until it gives off a toasted flavour. And then, keep it aside to cool off. Click HERE for the Review of Pro Nature Organic Atta Vermicelli.

Put the black sesame seeds in a large sieve and sieve off the stones. In India, Black sesame seeds are notorious for it's stone content so, if you are not comfortable with this tedious job then substitute it with white sesame seeds. The Flavour will be compromised a little though!

In a hot wok, put 2-3 tbspns of Ghee/Clarified butter and when it completely melts, put a small glass of water(100-150 ml) and bring it to a boil. Now add the toasted vermicelli Turn off the stove and keep it aside. When you are ready to serve then, heat it up, turn off the stove, Pour the Honey and Fold it carefully in to the cooked vermicelli. Sprinkle rest of the Toasted Sesame seeds and you're Done! :)

2.Raisin Cheese:
Take 1 litre of Full-Fat Cow Milk in a thick bottomed pan and bring it to a boil. Now, keep it on a low flame and reduce it while stirring every few minutes. When it reduces to a thick cream like consistency, add the Raisin puree(Boil a fistful of raisins and puree them without water) and cook it further to a granular cottage cheese consistency. Do not make it too dry. And the Raisin Cheese is ready!

While serving, assemble both Honey-Sesame vermicelli and Raisin Cheese while making sure not to mix them up.. Tastes Best when served warm. Serve a Sweet Christmas Wreath like i did:

*
Wish you all a Merry Christmas. :)

Pro nature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Review. The Magic of Organic Himalayan Apples.

This is the Review of the "Pro nature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar".

I hope every one has gotten over the Hangover of 'DeepVeer' (Deepika padukone and Ranveer singh) and 'PriNick' (Priyanka chopra and Nick jonas) Weddings. :P Well...They've found their Best Partners for Life! And, Isha Ambani is also about to. Sorry...Filmy/Richie Rich wedding season na...toh... :PP So Now, Let's jump back to ours, which is the Evergreen "Apple Cider Vinegar". By Partner, of course i mean in Cooking, Skincare, Hair care, Health benefits and so on... and so on... ;D

Tid Bit: Ever heard that Apple Cider Vinegar can stop Ageing? Which almost implies that you can be Immortal! Hmmm...Sounds FLABBERGASTING! Naaah...As we all very well know, it's a RIDONKULOUS CLAIM! Wondering who on earth did this? None other than the 'Once up on' and 'Almost even now' "World Famous" in America: "Braggs Organic Apple Cider Vinegar". Let's just forget that this ever happened. Wakay? :I

Price: 560/- INR for 500 ml.

Keeping aside all the claims and everything else, i love using Unfiltered and Unpasteurized Raw Apple Cider Vinegar for my Skin and in Cooking Barbecue dishes. I usually use Borges Organic Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother. So, what makes the Pro Nature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Special you ask? Read on...

Borges Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother is made with the "Organically Harvested Apples from Spain" whereas the Pro Nature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is made with "Organic Apples from the Himalayas", India.

And, that gives me a good enough reason to choose the #MadeInIndia Pro Nature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. Because, by choosing this, you choose to contribute to the Country's Economy and also Women's empowerment because Women are the Karta, Karma and Kriya at Pro Nature.

I have also observed that there is a clear difference in the flavour of the Pro Nature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar when compared to the Borges Organic Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother.

The Pro Nature one has a sharper and stronger flavour and the Borges one is mild.
It is Unfiltered, Unpasteurised and Bottled Raw.
The Pro Nature Organic ACV has much much much more "Mother" content than the Borges Organic ACV. Below is a Video which proves it.

Watch it in Full Screen with Full Screen Brightness for Best view of The Mother.

*Too many videos might increase the page load(idk), So, please watch the Borges one on my Instagram Feed. My Insta ID: vanityrehab

Here is the comparison image:

My Final Conclusion:

I choose the Pro Nature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar any given day! Reasons: Organic Himalayan Apples, Insane amount of The Mother, Women empowerment and Country's Economy. What more reasons do you need? Right?

#makeinindia #madeinindia

Buy the Pro nature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Online from: Bigbasket.com and it's soon going to be available on Amazon.in too.

You can also find them in many local Organic stores too.

Until Next Post(The Raisin Cheese one. Remember?), Merry Christmas.
Hallelujah.

And, did you see how Deepika - Ranveer(especially his Khali bali. I'd rather watch the movie wala song dance for hours at a strech. Goose bumps already...) and Aishwarya - Abhishek were dancing in Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal's
Sangeet?? He he he...Sorry...my Brain has Gone Bonkers coz the whole web is flooded with these. X-( Bye. 😄

Recipe: Coconut Prawn Spice Vermicelli with Tam-Or Honey Reduction. A Sweet Global twist to the Indian Spicy Prawn

Prawn vermicelli is a popular seafood vermicelli dish allover the world. (The beginning is seriously not fun but please keep reading for a full-on of it!) Usually, it is made with Rice vermicelli but here i made it with the Pro Nature Organic Atta Vermicelli and trust me, it turned out quite yummy! What's Special you ask? Here it is: I just customized it with my "Tam-Or Honey Reduction". Wondering what "Tam-Or" is? Ha ha...'Tam' stands for "Tamarind" and 'Or' stands for "Orange". See...You don't really have to try hard to make just about anything sound Exotic! ;P

Tamarind is the best companion for Indian Prawn Recipes and i just gave it a Sweet Global Twist by Adding Orange Juice and Honey to it. And my my her her him him....i can sit with a bowl of this Reduction and Gorge away to Glory!

So, Here's my First(but, not my best) Food Blog Post:

Ingredients:

1) 200 gms Pro Nature Organics Atta Vermicelli.

2) 500 gms Small or Medium Prawns. Large/Tiger prawns don't workout well for this recipe.

3) 1 Glass Fresh Thick Coconut milk.

4) 2 inch Fresh Turmeric Root or 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder.

5) 4-5 Green chillies and 1/2 teaspoon Chilli powder for Flavour balance.

6) A pinch of Garam masala powder.

7) 1 or 2 pinches Sambar powder.

8) 1 sprig Curry leaves.

Tam-Or Honey Reduction Ingredients:

1) 1 small laddoo sized Tamarind.

2) 2-3 Orange segments depending on the size.

3) 2-3 teaspoons Honey. I used Sakura Fresh Eucalyptus Blossom Organic Unfiltered Exotic Honey.

(This is the Full version of the Puzzle pic from THIS post.)

Let's Cook Away:

First, Dry Roast the Vermicelli till it turns a little brown. It is easy to burn this thin Vermicelli if you are not attentive. So, be watchful and keep tossing continuously.

Heat a little oil (I used cold pressed Coconut oil) and Add Finely chopped Green Chillies and Curry leaves to it. And then, add the prawns along with the tails and sautee for a minute. And then add Grated Turmeric or Turmeric powder and Chilli powder and mix to coat the prawns with it.

Saute for a few seconds and add salt to it. Then add a small glass of water and bring the whole mixture to a boil. Add Vermicelli to the Boiling water and cook until the water is almost absorbed and then add the Fresh Thick Coconut Milk. Cook until the coconut milk is also almost absorbed. That's it. Done.

Let's jump to the Tam-Or Honey Reduction now:

1. Take a small Sauce pan and add Soaked and Extracted Tamarind Juice.
2. Boil it for 1-2 minutes.
3,4. It should reach the consistency shown in the picture below.
5. Now add the Orange juice that has been extracted from the segments and strained.
6. Add Honey and boil until it reaches a thick Gel like consistency and then turn off the stove. Done.

Ready!

This was my First Food Blog post and i was sh*t confused with the picture taking while cooking! And in the process the daylight started to go down and i had to quickly plate up like whatever and too a super sh*tty picture of the plated food! Just can't believe i worked for 4 full months as a Food photographer at Green Path Organic State, Bangalore! :'( Lesson Learnt: I should start early in the day for Best Results. :P

Review of the Pro Nature Organic Atta Varmicelli: Click HERE.

Aaaaaaand, with this Pro Nature Organic Atta Vermicelli, i cooked up a Dessert too! Hint: Raisins and Cheese.....;) Shall post it Next week coz i am travelling this week. See Y'all. :)

P.S: Don't forget to let me know how the "Tam-Or Honey" thing turned out.(If you try it that is :P) ;D
