5 Food BFFs That Work BetterTogether

Nothing like a hot comforting cup of chai, monsoon or not. A simple concoction of tea leaves, along with milk and sugar to taste, but what you get as a result is holistic food for your soul. Bring a plate of the supremely crispy samosa stuffed with the humble potato in its mashed form, seasoned with the refreshing aroma of fresh spices - the combo cannot but appeal to the desi in you.

1. CHAI & SAMOSA

India has made this Mexico-import its very own. If you are confused, kidney beans is what we’re talking about. It was imported into our country several centuries ago and since then, there has been no looking back. 

2. RAJMA & CHAWAL

Protein-rich white chickpeas slowly simmered in a blend of golden fried onions, freshly diced tomatoes, and flavourful oriental spices - that’s the fancy spanzy definition of chole right out of a five-star menu card. Yes, the magic of our desi spices come into play yet again!

3. CHOLE & BHATURE

Yeah, there’s a tie between doodh and rabri with both of them vying for your attention when you crave for the ever-so-irresistible jalebi. Not that the sugar-filled dessert is not enough to satiate your taste buds, but dunking them in creamy or condensed milk only makes it a double treat for your senses.

4. DOODH / RABRI & JALEBI

Hmmm…need we say more?! Bean lovers simply cannot have enough of its invigorating aroma, be it hot or cold, and in its purest form or mixed with milk and other ingredients. And when you get a cookie, especially a chocolate cookie, to go with it, how can you not go berserk with sheer joy?
