It was one of those say when me and my friends visited a branch of the much
renowned and popular restaurant chain ,
Mast Kalandar.
We were welcomed wholeheartedly and Chef Samta Gupta generously
talked about the use of Senda namak ( rock salt ), the way it absorbs the impurities
from our body and are specially and compulsorily used during the vrath . She
also mentioned that it absorbs the impurities from the surrounding if it’s kept
out in a bowl. Wow !!!I was impressed about that little but golden piece of
info and happy that I have been using this salt all through my cooking for the
past couple of months.
Another important ingredient is kuttu flour ( buckwheat flour) which is popular globally these days and people end up making anything and everything including pancakes.

Anyway to say more about the event, we had couple of cooking
demo about few dishes cooked during vrath and they generously passed on the
recipes too. Not to forget to mention I am going to try the makhana kheer which
is really mouth-watering. The sweet tooth in me couldn't wait to try the delicacy at the event :) .
I am sure to try once or more in my kitchen too.
They had a spread of the utsav thali and the vrath thali both of it was looking fabulous . The people being
so generous, we could taste all the dishes we wished for and undoubtedly all
tasted yum! The vrath thali too tasted good even after having
so many restricted ingredients.
They look very promising about the sourcing of their ingredients from the right places too , so why not try it this navarathri :)

Ustav thali ( Rs 229)
Vrath thali ( RS 229)
The thali lookswholesome, healthy and tasty and the upvas
thali really stick to the norms of restricted ingredients during the fasting days.
Try out !
Happy Durga pooja and Navarathri !!
Thankyou!
