Daily Crave Veggie Chips
The Daily Crave Veggie Chips were purchased for $3 on sale at my local grocery store. The black and white newspaper theme of the package cleverly makes the chip color pop on the front. A new brand of veggie chip though and the price point is what made me pull the trigger though. Similar to […]
Bikaji Aloo Bhujia
One of my regular bhujia suppliers, Foods of India, was out of Haldiram’s Aloo Bhuija. I was able to battle back from sadness because luckily they carry Bikaji’s Aloo Bhujia as well. The bag size was 14.12 oz (400g) for $3.99. The ingredients are potato, gram flour, lentil flour, tapioca starch, salt, mango powder, chili, […]
The Power of the Kale Lobby
In the last few years kale has been everywhere. Every TV Doctor, every magazine, every online publisher are beating us over the head about how nutritious this leafy green is. One quick sampling from WebMD shows just how good it is: One cup of kale contains 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of […]
Haldiram’s Mint Lachha Mint Flavour Potato Sticks
The Mint Lachha Potato sticks were new to me. I picked them up at Punjabi Deli attracted by the flavor plus the poofy bag feels like a flotation device or pillow. The weight is their standard 7.06 oz (200gms). The mint is refreshing but not overpowering. The crunch is pleasant. There is also a great […]
Beyond Meat’s foray into fake chicken
This story from NPR’s blog, the Salt caught my ear: Link Beyond Meat, a new company based in Maryland, has come up with an alternative to chicken meat that it claims is a dead ringer for the real thing. And unlike other meat alternatives on the market, this one aims to be cheap as well […]
Bolst Curry Powder (Mild)
Bolst Curry Powder Mild (100g, 3.53 oz) I’m loyal to Bolst curry powder because honestly it was one of first spice mixes I bought as my interest in cooking grew. I’ve tried several other brands which are all collecting dust. The initial appeal was the packaging. I love that it’s a canister which you get […]
Haldiram’s Karodpati
Haldiram’s Karodpati are a fun treat. Unlike several of the previously reviewed snacks, there is no amchur or similar spice to create a tang. This snack is all about crunch. Once again the primary ingredient is the tepary bean. The flavor is reminiscent of ganthia but with more spice. On a spice scale of 1 […]
Hybrid Snacks: Baked Beans + Hashbrown + Bhel Mix
At any given time I keep several foods on hand if I’m in a bind for a quick meal, among them are: Hash brown patties, baked beans, and bhel mix. When you combine the three together, you get salty from the hash brown and bhel and the sweet from the baked beans. Because of the […]
Updated: Dine In Brooklyn / Brooklyn Restaurant Week: Bogota Latin Bistro
As mentioned, it’s currently Dine in Brooklyn 2012/Restaurant week. My girlfriend and I checked out Bogota Latin Bistro in northern Park Slope. We chose the restaurant because they prominently offer a couple of Gluten Free and Vegan options, plus I love Latin food. We caught happy hour and had some excellent mojitos which were clearly […]
