Never have we ever had such good South Indian breakfast in such a beautiful outdoorsy setup. A self-service restaurant, @sambar.cafe is located near Bopal Dental College, a little ahead of Pleasure Club on Bopal Ghuma road. We chose a super-chilly morning for our breakfast and instantly were in awe of the naturally-created ambiance, thanks to that magnanimous tree! We had the following : Mysuru Masala Dosa Masala Dosa Puri with South Indian Masala Vada - Sambar Idiyappam with Stew Thair Vada Special mention to the softness of the Vada 😍 The filter coffee inspired us, just about enough, to explore the plant nursery next door! We did pick a few saplings (on the next visit I'm definitely getting that ajwain plant!) We lost complete track of time, that's how peaceful it was that morning! Definitely going there soon, for more, hoping to meet the people who run this beautiful place! What's your breakfast today?! #IPaidForIt #FoodaholicsInAhmedabad #Foodaholics #Ahmedabad #Livetoeat #Foodhunt #Foodfind #Foodblog #Foodwriters #Food #FoodLove #Foodgasm #Foodstagram #Instafood #Foodnetwork #Foodfeed #Foodtalk #Foodtalkindia #PlacesToEatInAhmedabad #FoodInAhmedabad #ThingsToDoInAhmedabad #AhmedabadFoodies

Our love for sabzis is largely known! Hope this super creamy, super rich, very popular and the non-tomato variant of Navratna Korma is exciting for those who like the nutty-yoghurt based gravies.

We're loving how we're going retro with all the Butter-Cream Pastries and have parked ourselves outside the '90s! @uppercrust_restaurantandbakery is on the same nostalgia-bus as us, and has introduced the Old-fashioned Pastries. We saw their IG post and within minutes, placed an order and got them for us. Such melt-in-the-mouth pastries! Damn! And the best part is, alongwith the usual eggless version, they also have a version where the sponge of the pastries has egg! Yes, I'm sure you know it by now, we LOVE eggs in our cakes! The nostalgic fool in me, has a special place in my heart for the taste of everything I've eaten as a child! The quest, for more, continues.. #IPaidForIt #FoodaholicsInAhmedabad #Foodaholics #Ahmedabad #Livetoeat #Foodhunt #Foodfind #Foodblog #Foodwriters #Food #FoodLove #Foodgasm #Foodstagram #Instafood #Foodnetwork #Foodfeed #Foodtalk #Foodtalkindia #PlacesToEatInAhmedabad #FoodInAhmedabad #ThingsToDoInAhmedabad #AhmedabadFoodies

Holler to all the fellow Bengali sweet-lovers in the house! 😂 Discovered a fabulous place to eliminate our woes! @mistirabox Intended to order everything off of their menu, but ended up ordering everything that was available for order on Zomato! Mighty impressed! The Kheer Kadam, Nolen Gur Rosogulla in particular were the highlights, not too far were the rest of the preparations! Can't wait to try the remainder of things. A friend who immediately ordered upon my conversation with her, tells me that Mishti Doi is par excellent too! So, now that's the next on our to-try list. Super happy to have stumbled upon this! ₹575 for everything you see here. #IPaidForIt #FoodaholicsInAhmedabad #Foodaholics #Ahmedabad #FoodInAhmedabad #AhmedabadFood #LiveToEat #Foodhunt #Foodfinds #Foodblogger #Food #FoodLover #Foodstagram #Instafood #Foodnetwork #Foodfeed #Foodtalkindia #FoodInAhmedabad #BornOnInstagram #YourFoodLab

Have we shared with you one of our most favourite combination of things, for a meal?! This may make no academic sense but personifies comfort of the highest order! Rasam + Dhokla Pair piping hot Dhoklas with a very domesticated version of Rasam (Garlicky, Hot, Spiced, Tangy with a ting of sweetness). It's now a family favourite. Come winters, and this is for dinner, every fortnight! Tamaru che, aavu kaik eclectic combination?! 😂 #FoodaholicsInAhmedabad #Foodaholics #Ahmedabad #FoodInAhmedabad #AhmedabadFood #LiveToEat #Foodhunt #Foodfinds #Foodblogger #Food #FoodLover #Foodstagram #Instafood #Foodnetwork #Foodfeed #Foodtalkindia #BornOnInstagram #YourFoodLab

The charm in an unpretentious home-cooked meal, is unparalleled. Last night, we met two of our friends, after eons, with masks on - guards up! But when she pulled out a tray of roasted chicken, we pulled our masks down, picked a spot in the house at triple arm's length, and allowed her to host us! 😂 There is something about great company which amplifies the fun in a meal! On the plate: Brined and Roasted Chicken, Garlic cloves, and Potatoes with Mushroom Aglio Olio. #FoodaholicsInAhmedabad #Foodaholics #Ahmedabad #FoodInAhmedabad #AhmedabadFood #LiveToEat #Foodhunt #Foodfinds #Foodblogger #Food #FoodLover #Foodstagram #Instafood #Foodnetwork #Foodfeed #Foodtalkindia #BornOnInstagram #YourFoodLab #FoodAndFriends

Shahi Tukda has been a personal favourite Indian Mithai, and if I was recreating it, it had to be an honest version. The one which takes hours but is high on gratification, because having it any other way would be an insult to it!

Malai Cheeni Toast Bread (not to be confused with 'baking' in general, which is a very vast subject and goes back to a different era), as we know it today, entered India alongwith the Portuguese; who also got us the Potato - which managed to become our staple thenceforth! Although, it wasn't till the British advent, that a large part of India was introduced to sliced bread (the slice was doubly thick as today and was also known as Double Roti). Since, Calcutta was the epicenter of all British action in India, it is believed that the Malai Cheeni Toast breathed it's first in the city and while the unsalted-ness of the sugared Toast isn't something that the British really enjoyed, it was as if the Indian tastebuds were waiting for the local and familiar version of the Meringue-peaked-toast; and thus chai found it's long-lost brother in the bylanes of Calcutta. Thick toast, soft and pillowy fresh cream and crystals of sugar - that's how simple it is and that's all it took for this chai-accompaniment to eventually reach almost every house in the country where Malai Cheeni Toast became the ultimate solution to the late-afternoon hunger dilemma! #Nostalgia We've tried to replicate That very toast but I guess food is not just about the ingredients. It's about where, how and why it's eaten, that truly encompasses the experience. And hence, my dear Kona Dukan, G.P.O, Lalbazar, Calcutta; I'll see you soon! Cheers n Happy Eatin'!! p.s - The Kona Dukan version of the Malai Cheeni Toast does have a pinch of salt and a slight sprinkle of spice. They say, "Tosht ka swaad acche se aata hai!" #YehBhiTheekHai #FoodaholicsInAhmedabad #Foodaholics #Ahmedabad #FoodInAhmedabad #AhmedabadFood #LiveToEat #Foodhunt #Foodfinds #Foodblogger #Food #FoodLover #Foodstagram #Instafood #Foodnetwork #Foodfeed #Foodtalkindia #BornOnInstagram #YourFoodLab

"This beauty has been aged in wine barrels!" How's that for an introductory line for a coffee? We cannot emphasise on the glaring after-taste of oak and grapes, which is an iteration of the former occupants of that barrel, where the beans were stored. This barrel-aged cold brew by @thedarkroast , is our newest favourite until they are willing to serve it to us without getting intimidated by our addiction. 200 for a serving! #IPaidForIt #FoodaholicsInAhmedabad #Foodaholics #Ahmedabad #FoodInAhmedabad #AhmedabadFood #LiveToEat #Foodhunt #Foodfinds #Foodblogger #Food #FoodLover #Foodstagram #Instafood #Foodnetwork #Foodfeed #Foodtalkindia #BornOnInstagram #YourFoodLab #FoodCreator #Coffee

#TakeoutThursdays Papadum, by @terrafoodco . #IPaidForIt We had one of the most electrifying meal of the year 2020! Right when we thought that the local food scene had taken a breather, Papadum enters our lives to reinstate faith in the city's perception of Indian food. Papadum's menu focusses on Keralean and partly-Mangalorean (Malabari, if one had to be specific) delicacies and boy, have they got the flavours going! The food tasted home-made equivalent (the kind that is made with extra love) and the masalas seemed to have been roasted minutes before the food was prepared. The Ghee Rice is a meal in itself! They have gone a step further and have used Kaima rice instead of the corrupted version, using Basmati. Trivia - Kaima rice is also known as jeerakasala rice and is used in making the famed Calicut Biryani. The grain is finer, almost like that of Shahi Jeera and imparts a beautiful taste with the mildest of the spices. In frame is: Chicken Sukka, Veg Stew, Egg Nadan Roast, Chicken Kozhambu, Ghee Rice, Neer Dosa, Appam, Parota, Payasam, and Papadum (duh!) The spice level (not to be mistaken for the heat) has a personality of its own! The dry coconut masala in Chicken Sukka, the incredibly comforting veg stew, the whole garlic cloves in Egg Nadan Roast, the characteristic Chicken Kuzhambo, and The finisher, dal payasam, left us in a spell of food high. I do not recollect the last time I ordered for a village and ate for a village. A meal enough for three pax came to 1491. Since they were inactive on Swiggy/Zomato at that precise moment, we placed an order directly with the number provided. Cheers & Happy Eatin'! #FoodaholicsInAhmedabad #Foodaholics #Ahmedabad #FoodInAhmedabad #AhmedabadFood #LiveToEat #Foodhunt #Foodfinds #Foodblogger #Food #FoodLover #Foodstagram #Instafood #Foodnetwork #Foodfeed #Foodtalkindia #BornOnInstagram #YourFoodLab #PlacesToEatinAhmedabad
