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.

I visited @momostreetindia in Virar yesterday for I visited @momostreetindia in Virar yesterday for lunch and here's how my experience about the food was.

Let's start with the veg steamed momos. These were absolutely delicious! The momos had a perfectly steamed outer layer, which was soft and delicate. The filling was a perfect mix of vegetables and spices that were flavorful and not too overpowering. The accompanying dipping sauce was also tasty and complemented the momos well.

Moving on to the chicken crispy momos, these were also fantastic. The momos were crispy on the outside, and the chicken filling was juicy and good. The combination of the crispy exterior and the tender filling made for an excellent texture. 

Next up were the veg spring rolls, and I must say, these were some of the best I've had! The rolls were crispy on the outside and had a delicious mix of veggies inside. 

Last but not least were the tandoori fries. These were a delightful twist on classic fries! The tandoori seasoning on the fries was just the right amount, giving them a nice kick of flavor without being too spicy. 

This outlet in Virar is a takeaway place but there are a few chairs kept outside if you want to enjoy your food there. The service is a bit slow as they prepare the food fresh in front of you.

Upgrade your wellness routine with a sip of green Upgrade your wellness routine with a sip of green goodness! 🍵💚 

Matcha is a finely ground powder made from green tea leaves. It's known for its vibrant green color and unique flavor profile, but it's also a powerhouse when it comes to health benefits.

One of the biggest benefits of matcha is its high concentration of antioxidants. These powerful compounds help protect your body from free radicals and oxidative stress, which can contribute to a wide range of chronic diseases.

Matcha also contains a unique amino acid called L-theanine, which is known for its calming effects on the mind and body. This makes matcha a great choice for those looking for a natural way to reduce stress and anxiety.

To enjoy the benefits of matcha in a refreshing way during summer, try out Matcha Lemonade recipe!

Simply combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, water, ice cubes, sifted matcha, and you'll have a delicious and healthy drink that's perfect for a warm day 🌞. 

Sip and enjoy the many benefits of this green superfood!

I had the pleasure of dining at Kerala Cafe today I had the pleasure of dining at Kerala Cafe today and I must say, the food was absolutely divine and comforting! 

The Kerala Style Spinach Soup was a perfect start to the meal - it was flavorful and the crunch of ginger was so good. 

The Thattukada Samosa was a very delicious onion stuffing samosa. Though not something I would recommend to have. My most favourite appetizer here is the Potatoe 65.

The Veg Unlimited Meal was a real standout - the combination of different curries and matta rice made for a satisfying and hearty meal. Their flavors are so good that it will leave you wanting for more.

And to top it off, the Tender Coconut Icecream was simply amazing - the perfect blend of sweetness and creaminess. 

Overall, I highly recommend Kerala Cafe for anyone looking to experience authentic and delicious South Indian cuisine!
