Yes, a cafe, a restaurant and a lounge all in one at Grub House, Rajouri Garden. Rajouri Garden in New Delhi has become another hub of foodies. Its a tough competition between restaurants. But, Grub House of Gola Group stands sharp on the main road of Rajouri Garden.

Basil Berry Martini

Food and drinks

Mini veg spring rolls

First of all I had Basil Berry Martini which was a mix of Basil,strawberry and cranberry juice. It was cool and refreshing in the afternoon. Kamal kakri Chaat was an innovative chaat where kamal kakri was used instead of papdi. I was actually amazed at the creative idea of the chef. Not only was this healthy but also crisp. Good thing was that kamal kakri didn't become soggy even after curd and chutney.My friend loved the Chicken Ceaser salad while I tasted Jamal Kakri. Next was the turn of mini veg spring roll which was crisp at the outer layer stuffed with cheese. I liked the taste along with the chettinad sauce that had papaya in it. The combination of two was good.

Heavenly view

Whole resort was lush green which definitely made my stay a memorable one but the views that I had from the resort were incredible! With clouds hovering above exuberant green hills and fresh air was actually spectacular.

Mango Masala, a true food friend

Mango Masala

After visiting Ajmer Sharif Dargah walking down the street with empty stomach, we reached Mango Masala. Such a breather it was. As we entered the restaurant with a sigh of relief thinking of food, we occupied a corner table. All of us six people started glancing through the menu. We quickly ordered snacks and got busy in our gossips.

Ambiance

It was a busy air conditioned restaurant with jazzy lights. I was not missing Delhi at all. Furniture was chocolate brown with rustic big tables. There were some cars, jeeps, scooters hanging on the wall which attracted attention.

Food

Bhel Puri

We had ordered bhel puri which was irresistible, hygienic and spicy. I loved its taste and presentation. Bhel Puri was crisp and had appropriate ingredients which my palette loved. Next in line was Pasta which was equally delectable. I had dosa sambhar to my stomach's appetite. It was awesome. I relished it. Then was the turn of sweet dish. I had ordered Love dip, vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate sauce. This is my favourite ice cream. I also tasted Mango Marsala, Triple Sundae. It was super delicious.

Desserts by Puratos India

Well, this question arises many more questions in my mind! On one hand we want us to have a balanced healthy diet and on the other hand we want it to be delectable as well. We also want food to be quick and hygienic. How can all these wishes together produce a food that takes care of all aspects.

Flower Bruffin by Puratos

Most of these questions were answered in the workshop organized by Puratos, a leading global food ingredient company. Puratos showcased the result of research of survey Taste tomorrow 2015. The survey was to determine consumer trends in baked goods industry.

How my Diu trip became most memorable!

Heavenly hour at Ilha de Calma, Diu

Diu is one of the India’s untouched pearl. Like Daman and Goa, Diu was a Portuguese colony until taken over by India in 1961. Along with Daman, it is still governed from New Delhi as a Union Territory rather than as a part of Gujarat.The former colony includes the island of Diu itself, about 11 Kms long by three Kms wide, separated from the coast by a narrow channel. There are also two tiny mainland enclaves.

On the way to Diu

We reached Diu in the morning and first of all hunted for our resort. Although I had done my homework for the accommodation but wanted to confirm the difference between virtual world and real world of hotels. After lots of back and forth visits along Ghoghla and Nagoa beach, we settled down at Ghoghla beach facing property - Sugati Beach Resort which was actually my choice through virtual hunt.

Board for sight seeing

After resting for a while, we started our sightseeing trip. Although it was quiet late but we tried our luck. What we noticed was that every little crossing had a beasitiful innovative structure in the middle.

View of Jail from the fort

Various tourist attractions in Diu are the Diu Fort, Fortress of Panikota, Nagoa Beach, St. Paul's Church, Jallandhar Shrine, Gangeshwar Temple, Diu Museum, Ghoghla Beach and Gomtimata Beach. We selected few sites for the evening.

1. Diu Fort was an awesome structure for which I have written a separate article. It was distinctly visible from far by the sea.
