valentine feast

 Great days should always start with great breakfasts,isn't it.Being a person who always believes that good food in the morning not only helps you stay fit but also enhances your performance.The valentine menu was designed by me keeping in mind both the health factor and the sweet celebrations of life.The 7 course menu was
OATS IDLI-Oats is good in the morning because it slowly releases carbohydrates which keeps your energy label high
VEG SANDWICH WITH LOW FAT BARBEQUED COTTAGE CHEESE
                                                                                                      
                                                                                                            SPROUTS WITH STIRFRIED BROCOLLI,FRENCH BEANS AND CARROTS-Sprouts being the instant source of protien is good after the morning workout .
KHAJUR PINEAPPLE DIP WITH JAGGERY.
SECRET TEMPTATION-Keeping the valentine event in mind bananas dipped in dark chocolate and rolled in cookies .
CUSTARD CARAMEL-The custard caramel with loads of fruits is ahealthy substitute to sugary desserts in the morning.
BAKED BEANS-Last but not the least baked bean is great with any continental breakfast.

From chef's heart

From chef's heart

As a girl and the youngest in a joint family of around 25 members in my paternal home gave me the strength to be a confident woman in life.In all my growing years i had always seen my mother and aunts cooking cheerfully for the whole family. The aroma of fish in fresh mustard sauce which is a traditional oriya cuisine tinkles my taste buds even today.Perhaps in todays world we hardly njoy cooking but it always a passion of me.The combo meal from 'chefs heart'is genuinely close to my heart bcoz its not only the best food from my state but also its health factor and very different taste from other foods.

CHANGE THE WAY YOU ORDER FOOD,NOW IT WOULD NOT BE ORDERING FOOD BEFORE ONE HOUR BUT SHOULD BE PLANNIG A HAPPY MEAL AND BOOKING IT BEFORE A DAY ,AWEEK, OR EVEN A MONTH.

Xotic combo dahibara aloodam and ghugani

I rolled out my first menu in kalpataru and found out people are really interested about my favorite combo dahibara aloodam and ghugni.it's certainly the best combo meal of my menu.it's not only favorite food of Oriya people but also the healthiest food for sure.dahibara is low in fat bcos after deep frying the baras we put them in lukewarm water and squeeze the oil out then put the baras in low fat thin yoghurt ,so the probiotic bacteria and calcium supplement from curd we get.Dumaloo is cooked with traditional onion masala paste and lot of cinnamon,cardamom and bay leaves which have many health benefits. Ghugani is a recipe made of white peas cooked in low fire for four hours without oil and lot of Ginger ,cumin and black pepper.the combination of all three fulfills the requirement for calcium,protien and carbohydrates,a complete meal for everybody.

Bai-Chara

Presentation in front of a 5 member jury of a big company,making my best 6 combo meals ready for food tasting in a three day notice period really kept me and my 2 maids on  our toes.Shopping for the best vegetables,customizing the boxes ,designing the 36 course menu was both xciting nd stressful .My husband was travelling,my  son was  supporting me morally saying mama u will rock.And when the day of final presentation arrived,a dear friend of mine,my maid and me went to the company with everything.The panel of judges came and they started tasting and appreciating our food so much so that in that moment only i forgot all my ankle pain and stress but in the process i had forgetten that my maid has two small children who were at home alone for four hours.In the process of making my own company i had probably  forgetten about my maids family,but in the middle of the presentation my phone rang and i in a hurry responded to the call and enquired who it was and surprised to hear the slow and shy voice of my other maid 'didi mi archana;......what happened i asked nd she told me that she had   feed the two little children of jyoti,my other maid who was with me.The gesture really touched my heart,in a world where everybody is so selfish including me and crib for not having time, the lady had done something probably nobody will like to do.

business basics by usha

Forget about the top B-schools   ,of course i am the one who always aspires to go to ISB to learn the the best business tricks  but i swear the business startegies i have learnt from the candid sabjiwali bais of mahakali cave road really taught me how to wear that smile and boost the sell.they usually made me buy some xtra vegetable apart from my list.The smart machhiwali at pawai fish market can for sure beat any MBA with her smart conversation.From last three years every sunday morning i try to avoid my regular machhiwali and move forward the nxt shop to cheak the price but the bhabiji sound of my regular one really stops me buying from others.Its not about emotional attachment its about business ethics,to win over your customers.The quality,the personalized touch ,that little xtra effort make customers loyal........to u.
