Foodles noodles

-

Foodles is from the brand horlicks and they claim that there is no artificial colors or preservatives in it and that it is fortified with iron and calcium.

This time around I wanted to try making it the 'Desi' style. 


The big packet has two set of noodles and two taste maker packets.

INGREDIENTS
Foodles Packet - 1
     Sunflower Oil - 2 tbsp
     Cumin Seeds - ½ tsp
     Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp
     Red Onion - 1 Large
     Green Chili - 3
     Tomato-1 Large
     Ginger garlic paste - 1/4 tsp
     Red Chili Powder - 1/2 tsp
     Coriander Powder-1/2 tsp
     Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
     Garam Masala Powder - 1/4 tsp
     Salt- To Taste
     Coriander Leaves - to garnish
     Carrot - ¼ cup [diced]
     Beans - ¼ cup [chopped]
     Capsicum - 1/2 [chopped] [optional]

METHOD
In a pan, add the oil, let it heat and add the mustard seeds. When it crackles add the cumin seeds. Next add the onion and saute till translucent. Then add the tomato, green chilli and the ginger garlic paste. Saute really well till the tomato is all mashed up. Add the vegetables, pour about a tablespoon of water, lower the flame and cook till the vegetables are soft. 

Then add the taste maker and mix well. Also add the red chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and the garam masala and saute till the oil separates. 

Add about 4 cups of hot water to the mix and add in the noodles. Cook till they are done.

Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.

Quiznos...

Ever since the American franchise, Quiznos, opened up in my work place, I wanted to try it out. They have subs, soups and salads. Quiznos doesn't have many branches in Kuwait. But one can order online through talabat . They do have a Facebook (Quiznos Kuwait), twitter  (quiznos_kw) and Instagram (quiznos_kw) accounts and a  website . Their hotline number is    188001. Their small subs are like 5 or 6 inches long and is more than enough to satiate you.  You can choose brown or white or jalapeno or rosemary Parmesan bread. I am in love with the rosemary Parmesan bread ever since I tried it.  That is how it is packaged. I bought the egg and cheddar breakfast sub on a rosemary-parmesan bread.I do not like jalapenos and pickles in my sub, so I always avoid it. And thank god they do not give you much options like Subway :). My friend ordered the steak, egg and cheddar sub. The bread is quite fl...

Nabta Tea

This is a made in Kuwait tea brand. I saw this tea when i visited Albohayra farm in Abdali. They have a variety of tea available like lemongrass, lemongrass and ginger, green tea with mint, black tea with basil etc. The package is a tall cylinder which holds the cups, sugar, stirrer, and the cover for the cups. The color of the packaging is different for different flavor of the tea. Each individual cup holds the tea leaves and there is a mesh (which acts like a tea strainer). So when you pour water into the tea, the flavour seeps into the water without the messy tea leaves swimming all around the cup [it is a nightmare to drink that]. And yeah, no need to use a tea infuser or a tea strainer. Just pour hot water into the cup, stir in sugar, close with the lid and you are good to go. The expiry date is two years from date of production. They have an instagram account @nabtabrand and also a website www.nabtabrand.com I picked the lemongra...

Tawas - an all natural deodorant

Ever since I read about deodorants and their side effects, I have been on the search for an all-natural deodorant. Coconut oil can be used since it has antibacterial properties. Just apply a small amount after bath and when you wake up you will not have smelly underarms. But once you start sweating, you end up smelling but not as bad. But then it fails totally when you do some heavy duty work like exercise. Another option is mixing equal amounts of baking soda, corn flour and coconut oil. This concoction does work but it takes time for the body to get adjusted for it to work for you. And then too, it isn't effective during exercise. And again my search was on. It was during a casual talk with a friend that she mentioned about Tawas and how she was using it as a deodorant. I couldn't wait to try it out and bought it the same day :) This is how the packaging is.  A small see through container filled up to the brim. There are scented and non-scented var...
