Kashmiri Kahwa – A Cup of Warmth and Goodness

As the temperature starts dropping, all we need is a cup of tea and a cosy blanket. Every region has a different tea specific to winters. Did you know? Kashmiris in India drink Kahwa to keep themselves warm during winters. Wondering how it keeps one warm? Read the blog further to know how.

Kashmir Kahwa - Miniaturefoodiee

Kashmiri Kahwa, also known as the “paradise on earth”, is a very popular beverage. The word Kahwa originated from “qahwah”, an Arabic word that means aromatic beverage. It is majorly consumed in northern Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kashmir Valley and some areas of Central Asia. Rich, sweet, intense soothing aroma, beautiful golden appearance, and packed with health benefits, this is one beverage that you must not miss having.

So where did this Tea come from?

While tracing its roots or origins further back in history, it is believed that Kashmiris obtained their special tea – Kahwa tea leaves through the Spice Routes that is it came from China passing through Tibet. Some also believe that it originated in the Yarkand Valley during the Kushan Empire in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Its origin is still a matter of debate.

Why is it called a Winter Elixir?

The kahwa we are talking about here is a green tea with a blend of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, Kashmiri saffron and whole almonds. The warmth generated from these ingredients together make this beverage a warm cup of mug to relish during winters.

Here are some more benefits of consuming kahwa:

  • It relieves stress and improves your concentration.
  • It helps to relax and reduce the level of anxiety.
  • It acts as a fat burner and has digestive properties.
  • It helps in detoxification. This in turn helps in improving the metabolism. 
  • It can energize your body and help you fight lethargy.
  • It can relieve headaches and migraines.
  • It maintains fluid levels in your body and the list goes on. 

How much Caffeine does a Kahmiri Kahwa contain and is it suitable for children?

The delicately flavored aromatic tea of whole spices has no caffeine content and is completely caffeine free. The kashmiri Kahwa can be consumed by all age groups, especially children. It can be seen that children are more prone to cold and cough infection during the winter season; Hence it is the best drink that a mother can have for her child during such times.

Is it fine to have Kashmiri Kahwa in the Summer season too?

Yes, it is completely fine in summers as it is fine in winters. Whatever the season, Kashmiri Kahwa Brew serves you well! It is a natural stress buster and also treats the digestive issues that often knock at your door during summers.

So you see, how Kashmiri kahwa can be helpful in so many aspects. It’s not just a tea but a complete beverage that gives you not only taste but also benefits you with sound health. The kashmiri kahwa is suitable in all kinds of weather conditions and can be consumed all through the year.

#NotSponsored I had an incredible experience at @t #NotSponsored I had an incredible experience at @tamizhantfun in Thane. This authentic Tamil food restaurant truly impressed me with its wide range of delicious dishes. From the mouthwatering adai to the refreshing lemon sevai, and the comforting bisi bele bhaat to the delightful traditional Tamil thali, every bite was a delightful journey through Tamil cuisine.

What sets Tamizhan-T Fun apart, besides its fantastic food, is the affordability. The prices are incredibly reasonable, making it a great place to enjoy authentic Tamil flavors without breaking the bank. Plus, their portion sizes are generous, ensuring you leave with a satisfied appetite.

The friendly staff and the owner's personal touch added to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's not just a meal; it's an experience. The owner's recommendations from the menu were spot on, guiding us to some hidden culinary gems.

Tamizhan-T Fun's presence in two locations, Hiranandani Estate and Kolshet Road in Thane, makes it accessible to a broader audience. Whether you're a Tamil cuisine enthusiast or just looking for a memorable dining experience, I highly recommend Tamizhan-T Fun. It's a culinary journey that you won't want to miss.

Please don't judge my Marathi accent, I am a non-m Please don't judge my Marathi accent, I am a non-maharashtrian! 

If you're craving authentic Maharashtrian cuisine in Thane, look no further than shraavan_pure_veg_resto !

 The culinary delights and their service are exceptional. I had the Thalipeeth with Loni, Vada with Kadhi along with Karvanda and Kokum Sharbat.

For the main course I relished their Maharashtrian Thali, and Masale Bhaat meal. 

To end with, I had Ukdicha Modak that was served along with warm Ghee. 

The affordability of the menu is truly commendable. Don't miss out on the Karvade cha Sharbat and Ukdicha Modak – they're absolute must-tries at this spot!

I had an amazing experience at @ishaaraindia in Pa I had an amazing experience at @ishaaraindia in Palladium Mall! Their unique concept of servers communicating in sign language added a special touch to our brunch on weekends.

Starting with classic favorites like Pani Puri and papdi chaat was a delight. The array of tikkis, including nadru ki tikki, paneer lahori tikki, and water chestnut tikki for veg, and amritsari fish tikka, dungar chicken tikka, and more for non-veg, were incredibly flavorful.

The main course offered a variety of options like exotic vegetables salan jaipuri, paneer makhani, and butter chicken that satisfied our taste buds.

And I must say, their biryani was a true highlight – it was absolutely delicious!

To end our meal on a sweet note, we enjoyed a hearty dessert while expressing our gratitude to the servers through ishaare. It was not just a meal but a memorable experience at Ishaara. Highly recommended!

On my recent trip to Vietnam, I came across a frui On my recent trip to Vietnam, I came across a fruit named Artichoke. It is widely grown in the central region of Vietnam in Dalat. This fruit is used in soups, pickles, meat dishes, desserts, and in many other forms. One very common and popular use of artichokes is to make tea. It is known to be a refreshing and energizing drink. 

Artichoke Tea is made with dried leaves, roots, and fruit of the Artichoke plant. Or either way, you can also make it by steeping the fresh leaf, root, and fruit. You can make your tea or buy readymade tea bags. 

Artichoke is known to be a powerhouse of nutrients as it is high in fiber, B-complex vitamins, folate, iron, magnesium, and potassium. Here are a few benefits of drinking artichoke tea regularly:

1. Can help boost immunity
2. Can help relieve anxiety
3. Has anti-ageing properties

#NotSponsored So, I recently went to this super co #NotSponsored So, I recently went to this super cool spot called Poult at the Phoenix Mall, and let me tell you, the food there is on point!

First up, I tried their Veg Roesti Burger and oh my goodness, it was so good! The potato patty was crispy with a layer of caramelized onions. Plus, they loaded it up with mayonnaise and fresh greens that added a nice crunch. Honestly, I couldn't get enough of it!

But wait, the real star of the show were the peri peri fries. Let me just say, these fries are out of this world! They were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice and had this incredible crispy exterior. Trust me when I say, these fries are a must-try!

I know there are tons of places out there claiming to have the best fries ever, but Poult really lives up to that title. 

So, if you're ever at Phoenix Mall and looking for some delicious food, make sure to swing by Poult.
