Story of a Mom’s Kitchen... If you love home style food, don’t give this a miss!!

Growing economy, urbanisation and migration with modernisation has also transformed the food patterns of the city, migrated population seeks hygienic home style food as either they don’t have time or infrastructure to cook food which is required both to satisfy their hunger and satiate desire of food which tastes like one straight out of their mom’s kitchen.

Kalpana Purohit 

One such place in town, the foundation stone of this food outlet was done by a mother only. Mrs. Purohit commenced her venture with a very humble beginning.. daughter of a famous restaurant chain of Mumbai, she always had the expertise running in her genes hence it was easy to venture in...so it was in 1996  when she started her brand serving.... from home itself. She ventured into this field with an intention of serving 'home style' food to youngsters who are staying away from home, because she as a mother could relate it with the need of her own children who were out of country to pursue their studies... hence it was more of a passion driven initiative with an added ingredient of 'Mothers love' which still is the distinct flavour or the ingredient of their food!!!

Rushabh Purohit, son of Mrs. Kalpana D Purohit along with his wife, carries forward the league with yet more passion and simplicity. Purohit Thali – the restaurant is located near Drive-in Cinema – Ahmedabad. Simplicity as mentioned earlier is the mantra, be it the food or interiors. Less commercialised format actually enables the food to be like home style. Moreover they also lay lot of stress on not wasting food – a social responsibility, in era where food availability and wastage in urban towns is on a rise..

Coming to main aspect – food; which is authentic, hygienic, great variety, traditional cuisines are served. Be it Gujarati, Marathi, Rajasthani or Kahiawadi.. Baigan Bhartha with Bajra Roti, Thalipeeth Pitla with traditional Brinjal, Gujarati thali, Khichdi kadi are to name a few available in the menu. Rushabh mentioned that they have regular clientele and the food is so much appreciated that they also supply packed lunches at banks and hospitals too.

Last but not the least, when I stepped into their kitchen I spotted a bunch of old women adding their age old expertise and emotions in the food.. no wonder it tastes best, unlike the commercial outlets where men are chefs..

 Women empowerment or extension of the passionate league......
