We are what we eat!! (not just think...)

Ahmedabad, 16th December 2018: Food has been known not only to impart nutrition, but also develops our mind, body and certain spiritual qualities. The essence of food which has been traditionally developed over years is somewhere getting lost between fad diets, western influence, new age ingredients, cafe culture etc.

Indian tradition and culture has developed over food. Food is one ingredient which is also present in religion, ayurveda, medicine, and social connect too... Food is part of our entire eco-system, it is nature, hence we connect with it the most.

Sattvik is one such initiative to create awareness about the lost traditional cooking methods, regional and seasonal food. Apart from this Sattvik brought in by Srishti Innovations is also a platform where home- makers, villagers and commercial outlets showcase their food-related products, services and serve delicacies too.

Sattvik 2018 will be held at AES grounds, Bodakdev from 22^nd December 2018 to 25^th December 2018, from 11am till 10 pm.

Some attractions will be an Award winning ‘Shahi Dry Fruit Pak’ by Neeti Bansali andand Leafy almond soup”, which is full of nutrition.

Forget Paan shots, to freshen up and add zest to yourself, Kalgi Sheth will be putting up a stall of ‘liquid mukhwas’

If you think Drum sticks are difficult to handle and too noisy, then use its leaves to prepare a pancake or ‘Chilla’.

Nisha Mundada of Rajasthan runs a brand “Gau mart”, they deal only in cow milk which has A2 protien. They will be serving winter specials made out of this milk: ‘Ukala doodh’, Basundhi & ‘kadiyal doodh’. Milk is boiled under slow flame in an open iron vessel for hours.. each has various ingredients mixed, spices, nuts or kesar.

Just like Kastoori or the musk is within the deer, but it keeps hunting outside, similar is with our Agriculture sector.
