Ingredients of Everyday Moments: From Everest Sambar Masala to Kellogg’s Nuts Delight Muesli
Let’s kick things off in the kitchen, ’cause honestly, that’s where the magic (and the mess) usually happens.
Everest Sambhar Masala? Absolute game-changer for sambar. It’s like a flavor bomb—cumin, coriander, chili, the whole nine yards—turning a humble bowl of lentil stew into a full-on South Indian party in your mouth. And everyone’s got their own “secret” sambar recipe, but let’s be real, it usually comes down to the masala.
Now, when life gets hot (literally, thanks to Indian summers), nothing hits like cracking open a fresh coconut and guzzling that sweet, cold coconut water. It’s nature’s own electrolyte drink—none of that fake sports drink sugar rush. Just pure, straight-from-the-nut goodness.
But hey, sometimes you want that fizz—don’t lie, you know you do. A cold drink—Pepsi, Thums Up, whatever your poison—is just the thing when you’re wilting in the afternoon heat. Sure, it’s loaded with sugar, but sometimes you just need to feel those bubbles burn on the way down.
And then there’s Frooti. Oh man, that’s nostalgia in a bottle. Mango season in liquid form, basically, and honestly, if you say you’ve never chugged a Frooti straight from the tetra pak as a kid, you’re lying (or you had a sad childhood).
Life isn’t all eating and drinking, though (unfortunately). Enter: the Gala No Dust broom. If you’ve ever tried sweeping with one of those old-school stick brooms, you’ll know the Gala is like switching from dial-up to Wi-Fi. It actually picks up dust instead of just moving it around. Lightweight, does the job, doesn’t make you break your back—10/10, would sweep again.
Feeling peckish between meals? Just grab a fistful of Haldiram bhujia. Those tiny, spicy, crunchy bits—once you start, there’s no stopping. It’s probably not the healthiest snack, but hey, life’s short.
Rice is basically non-negotiable in Indian kitchens, and India Gate basmati—yeah, that’s the good stuff. Fluffy, fragrant, perfect for biryani or just drowning in dal. You know it’s a proper meal when there’s a big pot of this on the stove.
And for those mornings when you’re pretending to be all healthy and motivated, there’s Kellogg’s Nuts Delight muesli. Oats, nuts, dried fruit—all tossed together in a bowl because you don’t have time (or energy) to cook. Not exactly grandma’s paratha, but hey, it gets the job done.
Put all this together and you’ve got the soundtrack to an average day: the smell of masala while rice bubbles away, the whoosh of the broom, the clink of a cold drink, the crunch of bhujia, and the half-awake munching of muesli. Not glamorous, but it’s real life—and somehow, all these bits and bobs turn an ordinary day into something that, well, just works.
