Pakhala is a traditional Odia cuisine that consists of cooked rice washed or lightly fermented in water, with the liquid part known as Toraṇi. This dish is popular in Odisha and other eastern regions like Jharkhand and Assam, especially during the summer months but enjoyed throughout the year. Pakhala is typically prepared with rice, curd, cucumber, cumin seeds, fried onions, and mint leaves, often served with dry roasted vegetables or fried fish. The term "pakhala" is derived from the Pali and Sanskrit words meaning "washed/to wash." It has a rich history, being included in the recipe of the Lord Jagannath Temple of Puri around the 10th century. Pakhala is celebrated on March 20 as Pakhala Dibasa in Odisha. This dish offers various health benefits, such as being a resistant starch that promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in the large intestine, aiding digestion, improving gut health, boosting immunity, and providing fewer calories compared to cooked rice. Studies have shown that pakhala contains good bacteria that enhance gut health, eliminate stomach ailments, and improve bowel movements, making it a nutritious and refreshing choice in the Odia cuisine.

"Just another weekend, making an instant breakfast premix for Sindhura Althi, whom we wanted to surprise to make her busiest mornings easy and her tiresome evenings worthy. It was a whole conversation about #microgreens, healthy instants, food, breakfast, and the importance of having a nutrient-rich breakfast when we are actually hungry with Swetha Noone, getting to know more about Bangalore and its busiest lifestyle. The discussion was never-ending on the Mega City, its rich food culture, and the Vitamin #deficiencies. Keeping all things in mind, developing an instant premix that could be a multi-purpose blend was our first choice. Tadaa... Here it is... a unique blend of hand-pounded unpolished rice poha from Assam (this adds stickiness to the recipe), peanuts (to add crunch), flax seeds, fenugreek seeds, sattu, and our touch - adding lots of microgreens." Recipe: Assam rice poha- 1cup Micro greens - 1cup Flax seeds- 1tbs Fenugreek seeds -1 tbs Sattu- 1cup Peanuts- 2 tbs salt as per taste You just have to slow roast them preferably in an iron kadai and store it. You can ferment it it before day for a quick and tasty dosa. Rest all is depends on your creativity and preference. #food #vitamins #deficiency #foodexperience #recipedevelopment #recipeshare

In the bustling city of Kanpur, where food is considered as an emotion, a unique venture has emerged, challenging the conventional wisdom about healthy eating.

The story of TBS Kitchen began as a personal quest. As a fitness enthusiast I struggled to find meal options that were healthy and nutritious without compromising on the taste. Being a foodie myself, the limited choices around left me dissatisfied.

The missing soup! What you see below is a generous portion of the Classic Kerala style Mutton Soup. Its a delicacy that I remember tasting in my teens when my mother used to make it at Home.This lipsmacking soup brought back memories as well as some thoughts. 1.This simple yet filling soup is made from Mutton trotters that are ideal for a guilt free meal and is yet tasty. 2.With the Indian consumerbase being a majority Non vegetarian consuming population,there is amole opportunity to develop value added product based quick service outlets that still lie untapped. 3.Mutton Trotters cost about 90 Rs a piece in the Retail market and about 70 Rs wholesale. I leave the margins to your imagination. Attaching the bill for your reference. 4.Availability of Mutton offals and Good Quality mutton has reduced drastically in the market. Quality is really missing and as I have mentioned in my old posts ,The market is price conscious and not quality conscious first. Moral of the story. Risk appetite has come down drastically and Linear Growth shouldn't be expected in the perishable trade! Faster you learn this ,easier life becomes! By the way The soup was 160 Rs a portion!
