Khurchan

Khurchan. It requires lot of patience and skill to make this. Milk is warmed on a slow heat so that the milk is not burned and water is evaported leaving behind mill solids and fat. In the process milk from the center is picked up using a spatula and is spilled slowly on the inner side of the vessel. Milk flows down to the center leaving traces on the inner walls and this goes on and on. In this process, after long, a thin layer of fat and milk solids is formed on the sides of the vessel, and this is birth of khurchan. Slowly all the milk is converted to this. One can imagine the time and patience. As this is scraped from the sides of vessel it gets is name from there. Then it is blended with dry fruits and other condiments and flavours as per one's choice. I personally like it raw and fresh, little warm, straight from the sides of the vessel. This one I had was garnished with almonds, pista and had kevda essence and was frozen into a mud bowl. Everything was good except, I did not like the essence. It was taking away the raw beauty of it. . . . .

Standard Burfee | Karol Bagh | Restaurant Review

Think of the angel and devil is here, is something that happened with me at Standard Burfee, Karol Bagh. I love this place for the authentic Indian Sweets, purity, hygiene and tasty food preparations in Desi ghee. Another high point is, it is one of the no onion- garlic shops. So, an ideal place to hang out with Jain friends or at the time of navratras, when most of us those who are not fasting at least try to avoid onion and garlic.


I have been visiting this place quite often for delicacies and snacks. Prices are normal, it is neither a fine-dine nor a cheap eat. They have a nice comfortable sitting, where can also see most of the preparations live, like bhature, jalebi and tikki. It is a value for money place. A good place to have Indian snacks like Chole Bhature, Tikki Chaat, Ram laddoo and and and…

Ok, so where are the angel and the Devil? I always have vote for the chole bhature at this place; one reason is it is desi ghee preparation and minimal usage of soda in chole which palate cannot easily detect. In my recent visit, when I being optimistic felt otherwise. Chole, bit uncooked this time and had a hard texture. Though place is very hygienic but somehow a hair strand made a way in my aloo tikki. I know this is not the place where I expect this, as I have been eating since long and never seen any compromise on hygiene. It also felt bad.


However, I had to inform the management. I called for the person cooking in the open kitchen and shown him the mess, by pointing at the plate. He was apologetic that was clear from his body language and expressions, as this being a place of repute from ages it is a matter of shame. He immediately called for a cleaner, asked him to dump the serving in garbage outside the shop. Then he asked another waiter to serve us a fresh, said sorry to us and left. This was not more than a 30-second long story and only exchange of word that happened was “Sorry”. He never tried to justify, took a quick decision without any hesitation and resolved the issue. Mistakes happen and how you handle them is important. Some time you are completely put off from eating and this was one such incident.

An incident, which would have made me not to look at this shop anymore, instead earned appreciation. I felt bad, but that was for an instant. I made my purchase of sweets as usual, tried some more food. Moreover, it was not too bad experience in total… 😊 

Good hospitality is necessary for food to taste tastier.

Happy eating… 😊 

Poori - e - bahut bari

Isn't it too much big for a poori?
Found it somewhere on the streets of Moradabad, UP. Reason, I love travel. जाने क्या दिख जाए?
I talked to this gentleman, and he told me it is called paratha. I was not satisfied and said, this is not paratha, it is deep fried and it is like poori. He started smiling and said "आप पूरी समझ लो"
Anyways, with tum so full, was in no condition to go for it. Watching the preparation was an eye treat in itself.
Happy eating... :)

Cafe Good Luck | Food Review

You enter the place and realize as if you are watching a scene from movie in 1970s. Not to be recognized as legacy by some agency, when the crossroad is named after it. Looking around the place it seems as if it has never been closed even a single day since its opening. The furniture, walls, mirrors seems like it is been there always. Important thing to note is that even though the furniture is age old it is not worn out or shaky.

Anytime of day you visit, you have to wait to find a vacant chair, and when I say chair, I do not mean table. If you are not full occupancy for a table, you will be sharing it with someone else. Interesting isn’t it?

The food is good, economic, fast service, and big serving potions are some of the factors to keep it in demand. Looking at the comfort of the guests, it seems like many will miss on their meals, if the place is closed.




I ordered keema pav, butter pav, cheese masala omelette, irani chai and cheese butter pav, and enjoyed all preparations to the full. It is one of the best bet at value for money the food offers. The customer footfall is so much that chances of stale food is not possible, hence all seems fresh and straight from the kitchen.

Do not lookout for fine dine, private experience and just imbibe in the hustle and bustle, you will love it.

Happy eating... :)

Pan Cooked Ice Cream Roll @ Ice Pan Creamery

Simplest recipe for ice cream? Mix milk or cream, fruits, chocolate chips or any other ingredients of your choice in a bowl and freeze it in freezer. I take away freezer and give you a pan, now make it. You must be thinking stupid of me. Yes, you have your own reasons for that but I have mine.  Go and have ice cream at any of the Ice Pan Creamery outlets and now think stupid of me. They make your ice cream live in front of your eyes on pans and then serve them as ice cream rolls. Interesting? 

These pans are super cooled pans at temperature between -30 to -45 ° C. Fresh ingredients poured into pans, crushed, and seeing them freezing and articulating into rolls is a visual celebration and what an art. Flavours are definitely good, as the ingredients are fresh, authentic and natural. No trace of preservatives. 

They offer quite a choice of flavours in each category namely vanilla, sorbet and chocolate. They have an extensive menu, and lot to choose from shakes, and other choice of beverages like Ice Tea, cold coffee, mock tails. Also on the menu are the combos with sandwiches, drinks and ice cream rolls.

USP of the place is freshness and authenticity. They veggies in the sandwich are fresh and crunchy; it may take a bit longer to get your sandwich, as the veggies will be chopped as per the order. However, I do not mind waiting 5 minutes longer when the freshness is guaranteed. 

They have given London circus downtown theme to the place and it makes the ambience a chic look.

All in all a nice place to enjoy the cooked ice cream.

Happy eating... :)
