Degustabox August Review

Back in August DegustaBox had kindly sent me a parcel to review the goodies which comes inside the parcel. I must admit that I was thrilled like a small girl getting her birthday present. When the box arrived (box was signed for delivery), I was super excited and box was immaculately packed!

So what is this Degustabox?

Degustabox is basically a subscription based monthly food box full of surprises. Inside the box there are 10 – 15 products and many of these products are completely new to the market. The boxes are £12.99 including delivery. Whilst it is a subscription service, it comes with no commitments.  (How nice!) They just ask that you let them know a few days before the payment for the next month is taken if you want to cancel. You can simply register for the service for yourself or give it as gift. There is an alcohol and non-alcohol version of the box and you can choose which one you prefer. How cool is that? What more!? I can share a nice discount code, which will further fetch you £5.00 discount, so your first box would be just £7.99. Remember you can cancel the subscription anytime, so worth the try for merely £7.99. Read on for the details.

Methi Thepla Recipe (Step by Step)

Here is me sharing my Gujarati Methi Thepla Recipe, but before that some facts. 1997 miles! Yes thats what India measures from North to South, and “1822 miles” from east to west. With such massive country size dialects and culture changes every 50 miles and so does food and eating habits.
I never got chance to visit western part of India. I was less exposed to things it offers till moved to a cosmopolitan city. Guess what? I got introduced to more flavours of India while I got to UK than I ever got in India, shocking! Isn’t it?

My partner has travelled India more than I have done. He has been to all four corners of India and he suggested me to try out thepla once from a local grocery shop in London.

Dahi Wali Arbi

Food is undeniably one thing that binds the world. Food is also the same thing which separates the world. Each culture has its influence on its cuisine. If we talk of Indian cuisine itself, it is so widely diverse. South is famous for its curd rice concept, which would be normally frowned up on in north of India. Interestingly this yogurt based Colocasia aka Arbi or Arvi curry is from north, so same yogurt is happily accepted in a curry. Here is my recipe for dahi arbi or dahi wali arbi.
