Legacy called Madhorao...

A recently opened restaurant in Ahmedabad is one of the most recommended places where I felt few ingredients which were quite unique.... Apart from warmth which the place exudes in ample, there is lot of space, antique woven chairs, vintage style furniture which goes in line with the theme of traditional food. Tradition and generation goes hand, it is the generation today responsible to carry forth our tradition.. Madhorao is the right model of the statement. 

Wall of Fame - Chaitanya Dalvi 
Chaitanya Dalvi, the man behind this venture mentioned, "The name, dedicated to my father and recipes are inspired by my mother, is what Madhorao all about. Being Goan by origin, I always wanted to present something unique on the culinary map of Ahmedabad. Hence, decided to serve traditional Maharashtran cuisine that too in bronze tableware adds to the authenticity of the culinary experience. Colonial furniture with spaced out tables are intended to give more comfort and privacy to the diners."

What I tried:  

1. Mocktail - Kokum Sharbat, a natural ingredient available in Maharashtra and well known for its cooling properties. Best for summers.



2. Kothmir Vadi: Delicately fried starter loaded with fresh coriander (kothmir), mixed with gram flour and peanuts as base, flavoured lightly with condiments. This tops the menu amidst hot favorites.



3. Goan Xitachi Bhakhri: A local bread of Goan origin made out of Konkani Rice flour mixed with coconut and lots of cumin (jeera), fried to perfection and served piping hot. This crispy crunchy filler can fit in anywhere, as a starter or side dish. 

Goan Xitachi is a creation of Sushma Dalvi, Chaitanya's Mom....Hence, a must try!!

4. Bharli Vangi: Brinjals stuffed with coconut paste, peanuts and spices served with Puris and Khamang kakdi (cucumber salad)




5. Puranpoli : Well known, age old favorite sweet bread stuffed with yellow lentils paste mixed with jaggery and flavours, shallow fried in desi ghee.. Something then to just grab on and bite upon!! 


6. Mohan Thal: Again, gram flour roasted in desi ghee, sweetened with jaggery and loaded with nuts is a must have!!


Madhorao is spread over an expanse of two floors, located at Prahlad Nagar.
Avg cost per person : Rs. 150/- to 300/-

Dubai - The Greener Pastures

Its not just Oil and Gold, a New world economy, booming and buzzing, attracting all global markets to buy home, setup business and live in a place which is now the new Centre of attraction, to setup Global Headquarters. The Millenial tower - Burj Al Arab  Indians have forgotten Canada and US (seems so..) especially after the setting up new Trump norms... so where do all heads turn and why? 1. Distance : Travel time from Delhi to Dubai is 3.5 hours and if we talk about Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala and Maharashtra they are geographically more towards the west, therefore the travel time to The Emirates is even lesser than any other Indian town on the extreme corner. Therefore, Dubai travel is cost effective and easily accessible. 2. Visa : Relaxed norms with consultants from both countries growing in numbers to assist Indians settle in Dubai, both for entrepreneurs and job seekers. 3. Population : Potential of any economy to thrive lies in its people, Population thus holds biggest Poten...

"Wife or a Whore?" Or Dust under her feet!

Lets change the narrative.. the perspective and positioning !! Well, this is one statement which after a certain age applies to women.. pls note the word "AGE"!! This was mentioned in a book reading session by Sharbari Zohra Ahmed, in her Debut Novel,   "Dust under her feet!" The  Quantico  scriptwriter moves from an International thriller, expressing a high voltage drama series for Hollywood and now back into the 1940s, where her story revolves around Yasmine Khan, the protagonist. Sharbari expresses that it was probably Yasmine Khan, the focal point chose her, cause while writing the fiction,  she could clearly go back into times and see the visuals of the yesteryears when World War II had set in.. There is a lot which Sharbari has contributed into this novel, above her body mind and soul.. fifteen years have gone into crafting the epic! What beyond? The Author has actually gone to the libraries of Kolkata, dug out their archival section, newspapers, magazines, hu...

Sands to Skyscrapers: Dubai’s Architectural Marvels

A New Dawn in the Desert By: Kulveen Narula “The future belongs to those who can imagine it, design it, and execute it. It isn't something  you await, but rather create.” — H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum A t the turn of the millennium, while the world was celebrating the arrival of Y2K , a quiet revolution had begun brewing in the Middle East. The United Arab Emirates, particularly Dubai , was preparing to reimagine itself—not just as a city but as a symbol of human possibility. From a land once known only for its sands and souks, rose a futuristic skyline that rivals the best on Earth. In just 25 years , Dubai evolved into a global epicentre of design, engineering, and luxury—where the homo sapiens are actually living on Cloud 9, giving us a strong dream etched on sand, which didn't disappear overnight but amplified year on year imparting a twinkle in the eye of millions in the world to light up a dream.  The Visionary Behind the Rise The transformation is no...
