So, what’s brewing?

Hi folks,

I wanted to make a teatime chit chat kind of post with you and what better to discuss than TEA!
I am not a tea fanatic but a friend of mine made a great recommendation few years ago and ever since then it has been my go to beverage for at least 2-3 times a day. Therefore, today I wanted to share this small box of goodness with you.



FAB INDIA LEMON GINGER HERBAL TEA

Price: INR 150 for a box of 25 tea bags

It can be bought here








This is a lemon and ginger infused organic green tea. Fab India has lot of variants of this herbal tea with mint, fennel, basil etc. to name a few. Though I have tried most of it, this has been my go to BEVERAGE ever since I tasted it.

Preparation method:

Microwave water in a tall glass for 2 minutes or bring it to a rolling boil if you are heating water on a stove
Turn off the heat and place a tea bag in the water
Let it sit for at least 5 minutes (I let it brew for 10 minutes usually)
Remove the tea bag and drink it warm

Note: Adding honey or a sweetener of your choice is completely optional




This green tea has a mild taste with a subtle hint of lemon and ginger making it so flavorful. Green tea is loaded with antioxidants and health benefits – still some frown upon it due to its bitter taste, however, TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS – it is the first ever green tea that I have tasted that is not bitter at all. Add to it, the benefits of digestion and healthy weight loss!! Viola!

After a stressful day, I like unwinding with a large cup of this green tea! It relaxes and calms my mind! In my case, it also induces sleep, considering how much it soothes and de-stresses!



What is your kind of tea? Let us chat in the comments below!

Pesarattu and Groundnut chutney – Recipe

Image
Hi folks, During my short stay in Hyderabad, I got to explore few of their regional dishes and one dish that I fell in love with instantly, was Pesarattu. My hostel served it as breakfast once a week and it was an amazing and a complete meal! I met the hostel cook and learnt the recipe and ever since then it has been a staple menu at home.  I have tried pesarattu with lot of side dishes including idly podi but groundnut chutney is the best combination and it elevates the taste of pesarattu a notch.  Let us dive into the recipe of both: Pesarattu:   Ingredients: Green gram – 1.5 cups (300gm) Green chillies – 5-6nos Ginger – a small piece (peeled) Jeera – 1tbsp Salt – per taste   Recipe: Wash green gram and soak it for  at least  4 hours Grind all the ingredients together to a fine paste. (As my father specifically likes it textured, I ground it into a coarse paste, fine paste is what makes the batter even t...
