Delightful Desi Recipe Contest
Desi, local and most authentic food from the “Bazaars” of the city where it originated from always delights us. Be it Masalas, Pickle or Chutneys, we always crave for most authentic food. Don’t you agree? It’s a soul satisfying experience when you eat the most authentic and best Alphonso mangoes straight from the farms of Ratnagiri and Devgad.

I am sure you will agree that the most challenging task for Airport Authority personals is to search for that Mango pickle jar, Hand ground masalas and chutneys, Puliyogare gojju and Appam Podi which is hidden in your luggage amidst the clothes. And then you argue and fight with all the security, just to tell them that the mix which is so aromatic has been secretly packed by your mom as you don’t get the original taste everywhere.
The poor Security person has to gulp his saliva and act harshly even though all he wants is to taste it once. Finally, after a small skirmish, he will let you go, leaving all the passengers around you imagining the flavour.

I went to Jaipur as a part of my project and living in othr town was not so easy for me; I used to miss home made food cooked by my mother and i used to tell her that she should come there but she could not manage to come there so she once sent me Green Apple And Ginger Chutney from Delight foods saying that have this n you will not feel home sick; and then i stared having it; it was great as it just tasted like my mother home made green apple chutney and this product filled in empty space of love, memories in my heart with its delectable taste, nostalgic sweetness, and tangyness of mom’s sweet scoldings and since then this Green Apple And Ginger Chutney became my fav and my colleagues fav too and we used to have it during lunch and seriously we just love Green Apple And Ginger Chutney and sometimes we find ourselves short of words to explain how much we like some thing and right now am feeling he same for Green Apple And Ginger Chutney; just wished to say

My pick from DELIGHT FOODS is- ALPHONSO MANGO, BECAUSE-
1)Alphonso mango is known as the â€
Ek Bacche ko candyland mein le jaake chod do. Aur usse kaho ” Beta you have to take only one candy”. God can you imagine the dilemma and expression of the child at that moment. I can because I experienced the same when plattershare asked us to choose one product from delightfoods.com.
Just log on to delightfoods.com and you will get my point.Delight foods is a world of so many delighted products.
As you log on you feel yeh delight foods hai ya Aladdin ka chirag standing in front you with all your favourite goodies and asking you.. Hukum mere aaka kya khaaoge aap..mere paas aam, mithai, mewe , papad sabka hai bhandaar.

To conclude I would say
Delight foods ke oat cookies rakhe aapki sehat ka khayaal

My Favorite from delight foods is Singhade ka atta or water chestnut flour. India is a country of different religion. almost in all religion it’s common to have vrat or fast at different occasions. it’s assumed “shubh” to have fast, scientifically fast are useful for health because, on the day of fast, stomach takes rest for the day. One should keep fast at least once a week. During Navratri, men and women fast for nine days and use Singhade ka atta. As this atta is made from water chestnuts which are fruits it is consumed during the vrats/fast.
I myself keep fast during Navratri and on many such occasions and like to prepare Puri or Puva from singhade ka atta. I checked delight food website for the recipe of Singhade ka atta but I was not able to find any. You can add a recipe of Puri, Pakodi or Puva made from it.
Something new, something unique. A platform every foodie will love and enjoy thoroughly!! way to plattershare!! 🙂
Plattershare is known for coming up with new ideas.Keep it up.
Good one and upto now I have posted my Mango chutney
Yum yum a am ka achar…loved it
You can be from any part of this world based on your religion or ethnicity (and I don’t mean India only!) but if you were born in Calcutta and grew up there, you know belong to the city and the city belongs to you in a way that no other place will ever seem like home. So I am a Sikh whose born and spent the first 21 years of my life in the City of Joy and when I went to Delight Foods website and saw Masala Muri there, I knew that was the desi soul food that I was looking to find ! This delicious concoction is such a unique mix of ingredients that truly defines Calcutta for me – crunchy and full of zest, spicy and bursting with flavours and guess what – super healthy because puffed rice is such a brilliant thing to use for snacking ! So my favourite is the Masala Muri !
Yummy…. try to prepare myself
Good for all food lovers
mera favourite food pic is yummy aam ka achaar.khakar ek bar.chatkare le hajar.khane ka swad.nam lo to muh me pani aa jata yar.iske sath judi bachpan ki khatti meethi teekhi yade.jab dadi nani banati thi to chupkar churakar khane ka maja..aur phir unki dat…khichdi tahri..sabka yar..to hua na favourite aam ka achar……
Food story according to me is like a pickle kabhie khatti toh kabhie meethi toh kabhie spicy hamari zindagi bhi aise hai chatpatta ki zindagi
Main saari recipe dekhi jaa rahi thi…jab koi chatpata item dekhti toh meri moonh se paani aana suru ho jata tha…ohhh jo bhi kuch ho aam papad yah phir masale daar aam achaar,yah koi mixed pickle ya phir koi chutney…
Jab maine delighfoods website open kya then only in the first part the aam papad is displayed and my mouth start watering but anyhow I controled it and starts scrolling to look for some other intresting recipes…Lekin kitni recipe dekhi par sach bolun toh dil uahi â€
Summer always refreshes those childhood memories of helping my mom and aunts making different flavors of papad and pickles. Those days since everything was homemade it was fun to roll those papad and eat the papad doughwhile rolling it, Sun drying them and helping each other in the tedious process and making it enjoyable. But now due to busy schedule and mom and aunts growing old this process of making papad and pickles at home has stopped. But thanks to “Delight Foods” for refreshing those memories every time I buy their products. That have introduced amazing varieties of papad and pickles and the same authentic taste is maintained. Thanks for preserving an age old tradition and taking it forward.
This year for the first time I have made ‘Mango Pickle’ and it tasted so yum that….the jar went off in no time….Here is a droolicious recipe of Andhra’s favorite and much loved ‘Avakaya Pachadi’ @ https://www.plattershare.com/recipe/mango-pickleaam-ka-acharandhra-avakaya-pachadi
My favourite pick from delight food is lemon oatmeal cookies. Very healthy. Good to eat in between meals.
Aam papad is a must try for everyone fond of mangoes
Dat this story will really going to motivate to all dose girls n boys who hesitate from cooking n also I m better sure it will going to change d mentality of a family members dat this hotel industry is not good for any one…….
My favorite dish Is mushroom sauce pasta it Is so yummy and tasty so I love to share this with everyone and this contest will give Me this opportunity to do so.
My favorite pick at Delight food’s website is K.C Das Rossogolla.- “The national sweet of India”,I like it because I can make different dishes using Rossogollas from subzi to puddings.i like it and used to call my son Rossogolla in his childhood days..His cheeks were soft and spongy like Rossogollas. so we all family members called him Rossogolla.Now he is young and when we call him Rossogolla,he says yes.so memories of Rossogollas are still alive in our minds.i like it because it is fat free –paneer dish.I can eat Rossogollas,even when I am full.i will always remain grateful to the person,who invented such a wonderful sweet.
My favourite pick from Delight Food is Mango Pickle. It reminded me my mom’s made aam ka achaar. I used to have it with every meal……even caught with throat infection many times due to over eating it. But my love for mango pickle still is the same. During my pregnancy, I had craving for mango pickle (mom’s made) all the time but I was unable to eat it due to long distance as I’m in Canada and my mom was in India. Delight Food’s website made me cry too bcoz my mom passed away last year and she used to make lots of things which are on their website…..I wish I could review those days again.
It’s so difficult to choose one favorite food product among loads of yummiest items. Firstly, the page itself so appetizing with mouthwatering pics and few dishes made me so nostalgic. Especially, my big thumbs up is for Tender mango pickle which is also my family’s most favorite. The sweet memories of munching tender mango pickle like snacks during summer vacation and running for lassi / buttermilk to balance the heat are the best days of my life. A spoon of curd rice with a piece of mango along with the spicy pickle juice on top is truly divine and heavenly taste.. Am already drooling now 😉 No side dish can beat this delicious mango pickle and for me, even simple curd rice and dal rice turns exotic when it is served with my favorite tender mango pickle 🙂
my favorite pickle is sem aur aloo ka achar.
Hi,m big foodie especially sweets,Whether it’s panchi kesari angoori petha,or Gujarat’s mohanthaal,or pullareddy badushahi or Jaipur’s paneer ghewar and hasmukh tea from Mumbai,earlier it was we have to wait for our relatives and friends to get this and many times it had happened that they were not able to get due to some reasons,so no option,but now itz really so easy to get all this whenever we want,though itz now available everywhere but there is taste difference,but it isn’t a wow factor if we r getting that product originally from where it belongs to.
Though I am not having sweet tooth bit Panchi Petha is part of my nostalgic feelings whenever I hear or read about it. Living close to Agra, I used to get ample opportunities in my childhood to relish its taste and feel its smooth texture. And whenever any family member was travelling towards Agra, this used to be our constant demand to get one box of Panchi Petha which whole family can enjoy after dinner. Though we get petha varieties sold all over the place but Panchi Petha is the most “laajawab path”
My Favorite pick from Delight Food is “Meetha Aam Papad” Aayaa re dekho aayaa re Aam ka Season aayaa re..Sabka Mann bhaaya re..Wo garamiyon ki Chutti..Nani ke sath chhat pe khatti..Yaadon ki baarat ayaa re.. jab Delight Food ne Meetha Aam ka Papad apne website pe layaa re 🙂 Jitnaa bhi khaalo tum Meetha Aam Papad..par Ye Dil hai ki maanta nahin 🙁 Isliye Delight Food ko hai mujhe kehnaa..Ye Dil Maange More..Meetha Aam Papad!!
My favourite product from delight food is ” amritsari vadiyan plain “.
Ameitsari diyan vadiyan ve mai khanni han . Ye vadiyan mujhe mere bachpan ki yad dilati hai jab meri dadi ye vadiyan banaya karti thi aur mai intzar karti thi ki jab ye vadiyan bane aur mai dadi ke hath ke bane vadiyan wale rice khaoo.
Zindagi me sab laut kar a sakta hai par apka bachpan nhi . Par delight food par ye amritsari vadiyan dekhkar mujhe Laga ” koi lauta de mere beete hue din , wo pyare bachpan ke din ” .
Mai in vadiyon ke sath apni feeling jagjeet singh ki gazal se jahir karoogi
Ye daulat bhi le lo
Ye shauhrat bhi le lo
Bale cheen lo mujhese meri jawani
Magar muhjko lautado bachpan ka mausam
Wo hamare ghar ki chat aur ye amritsari vadiyan .
My favorite pick at Delight food’s website is ‘Tirunelveli Halwa’ from Santhi Sweets, Tirunelveli. Oozing out with flavourful desi ghee, this silky smooth halwa takes me down the memory lane of my cherished childhood days where I have relished this delectable, melt-in-the-mouth halwa many a times. For us, the word synonym to Tirunelveli is ‘Halwa’ from Santhi Sweets that is prepared using the age-old traditional method without compromising its authentic taste. Whenever we pass through Tirunelveli while reaching our native village, one of our must-to-do things is to procure a huge quantity of this mouthwatering halwa to share it among our relatives and friends. And, we still follow that..
My favourite product from Delight food website is Organic Green Tea , being fitness freak I am in always search for healthy products , my morning starts with green tea , the aroma makes me feel fresh & energetic ,” Chai peejye , walk p chalye”
So Here is my favorite – Go Desi, Go Local and Authentic Favorite Food and it’s
Nimbu Ka Achaar.
And here is the reason why – Moment I saw the picture of Nimbu ka Achaar on the website of delight Foods, I could feel the taste of it. The Tanginess of this pickle cannot be described. Be it morning parathas or Daal-Chaawal for lunch , This Achaar always finds the place in the plate. And yes How can I forget Evening snacks – Here is my tribute to my favorite Nimbu ka Achaar.
Methi ki Mathari and Nimbu ka Achaar. Muh mai pani aagaya yaar,
Dil Kare khaao issko mai baar baar.
Itna sochna shamjhana sab hai bekaar.
Bas yahi to hai jisse hai mujhe pyaar….
