A quick question for you… How many momos spots you know in town?

Probably 20 or more. It’s because the love for momo is ubiquitous. Like, who doesn’t’ love momos right? Even the friends who say I don’t love momo still eats more than half of Dimsum from your plate. 

The unimaginable & delightful flavor has taken over millions of hearts and ruled their stomach. This savory dish has become a passion for food enthusiastic across north India in no time. In fact today one cannot cross a street without spotting at least one ‘Momo Vala Bhaiya’ selling this delicious delicacy. 

But, here we are not questioning the love or the availability of your momo, instead of the nutritional chart of your momo, the health benefits, and the safety status of your favorite snack!!

Why? Obviously because of…

1. the whole pandemic drama we just finally started to get over with! And,
2. To opt for healthier and tasty eating habits so we don’t become couch potatoes in our 40s

Let’s know our Momos/Dumpling/Dimsum a little more!

Dumplings are of two types: fried and steamed.

A post shared by DIMSUM BOX (@dimsumboxindia)

We think that momo can be healthy, particularly if they are not fried. But that’s not entirely true! The maida we consume is known to raise bad cholesterol which raises our blood pressure in the body. This increased blood sugar level and then dropping it down is no different than a dangerous roller coaster ride for your body. Also, maida is often bleached with chemicals like chlorine gas, benzoyl peroxide, and other bleaches. All this sounds scary, right?

The real dilemma is for those momo lovers who can’t resist the cravings and are also health-conscious. Don’t worry! We got a solution for you! 

All you need to do is grab your keys and drive to the nearest DIMSUM BOX outlet. Here’s Why?

1. They have only Wheat momos aka Atta Momos which are a perfect alternative to strike a balance between health! Whole wheat flour is rich in dietary fiber and protein, while Maida (Refined flour) isn’t much though! both of these macro-nutrients are essential nutrients that are required for a healthy body. 
2. Old Players: They are home to our beloved Dumplings introduced by the dumpling hood! (Yes, you heard it right! The revamped version of the Dumpling Hood is now called DIMSUM BOX!)
3. No maida at all. For the modern millennial who is a party and diet freak at the same time, they use all-purpose flour (Atta) for all their Dimsum preparations. 
4. Crafted with expertise: They have been doing this for 8+ years. So, they know their craft perfectly!
5. Say No to Deep Fried, and yeah to Pan Tossed. They don’t serve Fried Momos. Instead, They serve Pan tossed dim sum to satisfy your cravings for street style fried momos.
6. This dim sum recipe has no fat except some oil that is used for greasing the pan. So overall a no fat healthy dim sum recipe.

What’s on the Platter?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by DIMSUM BOX (@dimsumboxindia)

Almost 48 varieties of the 1 mm DIMSUM including Steamed, Pan tossed, and cheese DIMSUM along with an extensive side menu of Noodles, sandwich, and pasta, along with some of the best & juiciest refreshing drinks. 

Most of the street style momos or dumplings either contain chicken pieces in non-veg offerings, or contain cabbage, carrots, and onion in veg offerings. 

Here you can have veggies, spinach, mushroom, broccoli, paneer, chicken, mutton, and more. You name it, they have it! Ain’t this awesome! right?

Ab intezaaar kis baat ka? Visit Sector 9, Chandigarh, or any of the nearest outlets today to fill up your stomach with this healthy and cheap Dimsum! We hope you see them every day

The post 10 Rooftop Restaurants in Chandigarh to Wine and Dine Under the Sky appeared first on Chandigarh Bytes.

You can easily spot some grandma enjoying the winter tan on the Manjha (Khaat) outside their homes; Men sleeping on the warm grass under the shade of a tree in the day. And at the night, even the three layers of clothing won’t protect you from getting cold. “Aisa hai Hamara, Chandigarh”

As it begins to chill down outside, and the temperatures dropping with each passing day, the lust for the fancy and warm winter food and beverages begins to shoot up the sky. Gajar ka halwa, Panjiri, Desi ghee ki Peeni, these names come fluttering inside our brains when it comes to winter food, but nothing can make the list of winter beverages except Chai Or Coffee. 

We bring you the list of some easy to whip, Classic Indian winter beverages! Sober-Style. We will bring a compilation of boozy beverages soon! Till then, We hope you will enjoy the winter weather with these warm winter drinks.

1. Kashmiri Kahwa

This beverage has earned its position at the top of the list. Officially Kahwa might have Kashmir as his home, but this drink never leaves the hearts of the people who try this authentic recipe. My first cup of Kahwa was inside a hut of the shepherd family in the valley of Gulmarg near Srinagar. The recipe has been one of my go-to ever since for all those warm, romantic winter nights.

Kashmiri Kahwa is a tropical mix of Kashmiri green tea leaves poached in water with whole spices, Almonds, dried fruits, and saffron. This aromatic drink is the perfect pause to all your early morning winter woes. It has been a part of Kashmiri cuisine for centuries. Apart from fighting the winter crisp, this beverage is also packed with a load of health benefits which include improving digestion, weight loss, enhancing immunity, and many more.

2. Kanji

Kanji is one not so warm beverage that made this list. Although it is a classic and is mostly available in winters. Think of Kanji as Indian Kombucha. Rich in antioxidants, dietary fibers, Vitamin K, vitamin C, Potassiums, and the list goes on. We made a point that kanji has numerous health benefits. It is made from the Kaali Gajar (Deep Maroonish colored carrots) which are a delicacy of winter. It’s a fermentative drink, hence has to be made in a glass jar or ceramic. The aluminum, brass, copper would inhibit the fermentative process and will give the bitter taste. The beverage can be stored in a glass pitcher for up to 15 days if kept outside, and up to a month if stored in a refrigerator.

The beetroot, Mustard powder, asafoetida, red chili powder, and salt are added to them to make this drink yummy-licious.

3. Rajasthani Bajre Ki Raab (Pearl Millet Drink)

This Beverage has two versions- Both Salty and Sweet. This beverage is quite famous in the state of Rajasthan. It is made from Pearl millet flour a.k.a. Bajra. The sweet version has Jaggery and is served as dessert. Bajre ki raab with sometimes is commonly called Rabdi as well, made it is slightly different from the one we savor will jalebi.

The Salty version has Cumin, Ajwain, and of course Salt! Both are made from yogurt rather than milk.

Bajre ki raab is known to be very nutritious and delicious. In the desert regions during summers when the vegetables are in short supply, people make raab like a soup with dried vegetables like Ker Sangri to dip the Rotlas.

4. Dhoodh Kesari

At least once in your childhood, your mum has tricked you into drinking Kesar value Dhoodh saying “Beta, Superman Bhi Yahi Peeta hai”

Well, Clark kent might not have been drinking this beverage in his time on the earth, but most Indian pehlwan’s have. This beverage is loaded with health and nutritional benefits.

The Warm milk infused with the richness of saffron and cardamom, topped with shredded almonds and pistachios is North India’s winter favorite drink. This should be declared as an Offical drink of winter. When was the last time, you had Kesar Milk? Let us know in the comments down below.

5. Noon Chai or Gulabi chai (Kashmiri Pink Chai)

Another tea hailing from the sierra of Kashmir. The recipe might be a little tricky, but the end product you get is worth the wait. The Kashmiri Pink tea s made from special Kashmiri tea leaves called Gun powder leaves. (No! it’s not the Plant from where Barood comes from!)

The gives a natural pink color, but let’s be honest, you won’t get the color at the first trial. I got the right color, on my third try. Third times a charm! The pink color comes from the reaction of the chlorophyll released and for that, you have to cook this beverage intensively. Further sea salt, very little milk, and nuts are added to this beautiful Gulabi chai. One sip of this tea will make your heart sing “Vaidh gulabi, chai Bhi gulabi, Dawa Bhi gulabi, hai gulabi yeh asar”

Which of these will become your favorite DIY winter drink? Did we miss out on some other classic Indian winter beverages? Let us know in the comments below!

The post From Dosa to Paranthas, 9 Best Breakfast Spots In Chandigarh To Kick start Your Day! appeared first on Chandigarh Bytes.

The bar is fully stocked most of the times and the cocktails are heavenly- especially the long island iced tea and pina colada. They also hold live sports screening at times so if you’re a sports fan then it is the perfect place to catch up on a match with your friends while drowning yourself in beer or whatever it is that you prefer. *hehe* The only downside is that alcohol is a little expensive but they have a 1+1 offer on some of the drinks so it makes more sense to order those specific drinks for a pocket friendly experience.

When it comes to food, Peddlers 35 preparation is quite nice and even the most basic dishes have a different and ingenious touch to them. I got fan of their pizzas especially the piri-piri pizza..sigh! pure bliss. They have a variety of cuisines to offer including Italian, Mexican, Indian and continental so there is a lot to choose from. I will not say that the food experience is out of the world or anything but it’s pretty decent. 

Coming to the highlight of Peddlers 35, the live band performances in the evening are electrifying and induces a whole different level of energy and craziness in this place. Be it a Monday or Saturday, the music will never disappoint you as they have the best bands playing all 7 days of the week. Once the band starts playing, it is quite impossible to have a conversation so only visit in the evening if you are in a mood to party because there are people dancing everywhere as soon as they are into their third or fourth song.

The only thing lacking in this place is S-P-A-C-E as it gets congested as soon as it gets a little crowded. Every inch of the area is occupied by people either sitting or standing or for that matter even dancing so it’s always better to make a reservation in advance especially on Saturday to avoid inconvenience and if you’re one of those who just likes to party without caring two hoots about seating then just grab a drink from the bar counter and dance away to glory.

A great place to chill with friends. I give it 4 stars and 2 out of those 4 stars are purely for the mind-boggling live music experience they offer.

1. Chandigarh is clean

No other city in the country is as clean as Chandigarh. The roads are immaculate and so tidy. And don’t forget the look the city dons after a spell of rain. Everything is crystal clear as if someone has cleaned your dust rimmed glasses. Everything bears a beautiful look created by the Almighty himself.

2. Carefully planned

Chandigarh is the first planned city of the country. The dream project of Late Prime Minister Nehru, it has a charm of its own. Certainly, it is a joy to be here. Every sector and road are so carefully planned that you can never get lost in this city. Why? Because every road is parallel to the adjacent road. So even if you are directionally challenged, this city is always on your side.

3. Negligible pollution and traffic

THIS is perhaps the best part about living in Chandigarh. It does not have a lot of traffic and hence, pollution. Compare it with a city like Delhi and it is almost equivalent to living abroad. We are perhaps the healthiest in the country when it comes to our respiratory systems. All this while our transportation system isn’t very effective. Come to the metro project, our roads will be as empty as an F1 racing track!

4. World class education

Chandigarh has some of the best educational institutions in the country. Right from primary schools to a world class University, everything is here. And there are options aplenty! There are schools for CBSE, ICSE, state boards and even international curriculum like IB now! Then there is Panjab University- the premier University of the country. Need I say more?

5. Food!

Every foodie’s delight, Chandigarh is a haven for food. From international food chains to world class dhabas, there is something to tingle your every taste bud. Perhaps this is because of the amalgamation of various cultures here. The proximity to the states of Panjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh and various migrants from different parts of the country, there is something for everyone.
