When, in the award-winning Bengali movie, ‘Harmonium’, veteran actor, Kali Banerjee’s character told Santosh Dutta, “Dekhun, khei bole debo kothakar doi (I can tell you where you’ve got this curd from just from its taste),” he wasn’t bluffing! That’s the insane love Bengali’s have for Mishti Doi (Sweet Curd). A speciality from Bengal, Mishti Doi has witnessed many an important occasion in every Bengali’s life, adding a special sweetness to those moments.

It all begins with ‘Mukhe Bhaat’ or ‘Annaprashan’, the Bengali ceremony that celebrates the first day when a baby has his or her first solid food. The royal event sees relatives, friends and family rejoice over a grand feast that most definitely ends with some Rosogollas and heaped spoonfuls of the Mishti Doi.

As years pass by and the Bengali immerses himself or herself into traditional occasions and rituals, he or she develops a deep fondness for the Mishti Doi. The Durga Pujas commence year after year and the ‘bhog’ at the thematic ‘pandals’ end with a serving of this delicacy. In fact, it is quite common to find people from the ‘para’ asking for an extra cup of Keventer Metro Mishti Doi even after they’ve had two or three cups already! The sweet dessert is indeed the Bengali’s sweet weakness!

Some Bengali’s don’t even wait for the year’s biggest gala, to have their beloved sweet dish. Any get-together, and there you go! You have a traditional Bengali sweet and a cup of Mishti Doi ready to be served as the dessert that brings the feast to a befitting end. When afternoons in Bengal see the scorching sun, overhead, get the better of a person’s health, many people resort to a lunch of rice and curd to keep the body cool. However, for those who steer clear of anything sour, Mishti Doi comes as a welcome respite. Many a times, out comes a pack of Keventer Metro Mishti Doi from the fridge and the Bengali savours every bit of his or her lunch in the sultry weather.

When the Bengali decides to tie the knot, the Mishti Doi makes another gala appearance. Perhaps, if we could imagine the dessert as a person, we’d find him smiling broadly. The Mishti Doi would clearly be proud of its overwhelming importance in a Bengali wedding.

Through the years that unfold, the Bengali, born with a sweet tooth, finds excuses to dig deep into the Mishti Doi, till it’s time for another ‘Annaprashan’, and the circle of life is complete. In fact, so much is the deliciousness of this delight that its fan following has gone beyond the Bengali and spread across the entire world. The Mishti Doi is a star in its own right!

And when the most delicious of all Mishti Doi-s comes packed in convenient little cups, that can be stored in the fridge, Bengali’s happiness soars in leaps and bounds. The Keventer Metro Mishti Doi finds its place in every household to become a part of Bengali’s most cherished memories and an indispensable part of his/her life.

“Aaaah! Cha ta kheye ektu shanti pelam (I’ve finally found some peace after drinking this tea),” Subhankar Biswas heaves a sigh of relief. He had been taking a short evening break from work at the roadside tea-stall below his office building, with his colleague. As he expresses his satisfaction at having drunk his favourite beverage, his colleague nods in approval, “Doodh Cha ta kintu ekhane fatafati banaye (The milk tea here is truly awesome)!”

The quintessential Bengali, or let’s say, ‘Bangali’, holds an indomitable love for the ‘Doodh Cha’ or milk tea. Though the more sophisticated part of this emotional, poetic, and intellectual section of the society would show its preference for the Darjeeling Tea brewed at the perfect temperature and served unadulterated by milk or sugar, the majority of this culture would swear by the thick, milky concoction to be their first love.

Once the sun rises in the east, the Bangali needs his or her cup of favourite tea to rise up from bed and prepare for the grueling day ahead. The Doodh Cha is an inevitable part of the Bangali’s mornings. However, that’s not all. Chai breaks are those little moments that keeps the Bangali up and running throughout the day. Like drops of elixir, the Doodh Cha keeps the Bangali motivated and assiduous!

And the Bangali picks up this love for the milk tea, young. It begins with long hours spent in the canteen with friends for ‘adda’, perhaps with some guitar-strumming of popular Bengali songs, and evolves into those chit-chats with like-minded people in a roadside shanty during breaks at work. Without the Doodh Cha, the newspaper in the morning doesn’t read that interesting. Nor do those post office debates, on political issues, with ‘para’ friends, have enough fire. The evening get-togethers don’t seem warm enough and lone moments spent listening to Kishore Kumar or Hemanta Mukhopadhyay lack emotion.

But what really makes this Doodh Cha Bangali’s forever mate?

Interestingly enough, it is not just tea leaves that add flavour to this daily delight, but also the quality of milk used to prepare it. The richer and thicker the milk, the more delicious the concoction. Additional flavouring may be done by adding sugar to taste, and some basic condiments like ginger (Ada Cha), cardamom (Elaichi Cha), or spices such as clove, pepper, and cinnamon (Masala Cha). However, the milk remains the most vital ingredient of the Doodh Cha (Err… that is exactly why it is known as the Milk Tea).

Achieving perfection in making this delight at home is no mean task at all. All you need is some CTC tea and Keventer Metro Rich Milk. Heat the milk in a pan till it bubbles, add some sugar to taste, and add some tea. Switch the gas off and let the tea brew in the milk. Pour it through a strainer and enjoy with some biscuits, ‘pakodas’, or chops.

With Keventer Metro Rich Milk as your base, this Doodh Cha is going to be way creamier than you can imagine! So, visit shopkeventer.com or your nearest grocery store to grab our Keventer Metro Milk and indulge the Bangali inside you with the heart-warming taste of the Doodh Cha!

World Food Safety Day is just around the corner and World Health Organisation is gearing up to spread the message of, “Food safety: prepare for the unexpected,” with gusto. However, long before the international organisation declared the theme for the year, we had realised the critical importance of taking proactive measures in safeguarding food from all potential hazards. Perhaps, this is the reason why, today, Keventer Milk is synonymous to quality wholesome milk that is delicious, healthy, and most importantly, absolutely safe for consumption!

As a brand that truly cares about the health of its customers, we, at Keventer Milk, have always tried to introduce innovations and ideas that makes our products the best-in-class. One of the most important steps that we took while introducing our three variants of Keventer Milk—Toned, Double Toned and Standardised—is to ensure that they are subjected to Ultra High Temperatures (UHT) and packaged in tetra packs.

Now what difference could that possibly make?

It simply made the milk you drink MUCH SAFER for consumption, whether you drink it immediately or five days after opening the pack!

Milk can easily get contaminated and also become the breeding ground for bacteria, listeria, and other disease causing germs. Loose milk is carried over long distances to be delivered to households and it is during this journey that the milk has the tendency of acquiring contaminants. Moreover, the soaring temperatures of our country only aides in the growth of microbes, while bad storage practices add impurities. Imagine what can happen to you if you drink this exceptionally hazardous version of milk!

Now some dairies try to reduce this contamination by adding harmful chemicals such as Formalin, which only worsens the quality of the milk. However, not us!

Firstly, while acquiring raw milk, we ensure that the cows are milked in a sterile and clean environment, the milk is captured immediately at the collection centre and its temperature significantly reduced to prevent heat from acting as a catalyst to bacterial growth. The cold liquid is then transferred to the factory in clean tanks.

Upon arrival, the milk is first tested to check for the addition of any harmful chemicals. Once the Quality Check Department gives us a heads up, the milk is pasteurised for 15 secs to remove most of the harmful bacteria from the liquid. Next, we apply the UHT process where milk is first heated to an extremely high temperature and then cooled down to an extremely low temperature in a matter of only 4 seconds. This revolutionary process gets rid of all the remaining bacteria while preserving essential nutrients and retaining the milk’s innate goodness.

That’s not where we stop though! We package our UHT milk in tetra packs that preserves its goodness and prevents it from getting re-contaminated due to six protective layers. Even without refrigeration or the addition of preservatives, this aseptic packaging gives Keventer UHT Milk a shelf life of six months! When opened and refrigerated, our wonder-milk can stay fresh for up to 5 days.

So this World Food Safety Day, pledge to keep your family and yourself safe from the hazardous implications of ‘bad milk’. Add Keventer UHT Milk to your diet and pamper yourself with its goodness.

We are, currently, in the middle of a heatwave and every time we step outside, it feels like the sun has stuck a straw in our backs to suck up all our energy. Did that sound familiar? Then you must remember that iconic beverage ad campaign from a decade ago!

The ad has become symbolic of the Indian summer—no other ad has been this relevant to the whole population. Going outside in this oppressive weather is a task but we can’t stay indoors forever. So, what can you do? How can you replenish what the sun takes from you? You try these cool tips of course!

Oye Lassi, Lassi Oye!

A favourite across India, originating in the North, lassi is a summer quintessential. It’s great after a meal, helping with digestion. And it works exceptionally well in cooling you down on the hottest summer days. The combination of curd, sugar and ice is divine. Whenever you need a convenient classic lassi fix, grab a packet of Keventer lassi!

Mango season coincides with summer, so why not make the best of it? Take your packet of mango Keventer lassi and add some chopped mangoes to it for that extra kick!

Nothing Beats The Classic

When it comes to claiming where the best biryani is from, we may quarrel, but we do agree on one thing: curd. Meals are incomplete without it. Hot summer days are made worse without it. Lassi is undoubtedly the most popular curd beverage, but it’s not the only one.

Need something savoury? Try neer mor, which is found across Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. It’s a brilliant digestive aid, made with curd, ginger, hing, cumin and curry leaves.

Craving something a little bit more special? Try the classic gondhoraj ghol! Get your packet of Keventer Metro dahi, thin it with water and flavour it with black salt and the juice and zest of gondhoraj lime. You may also add sugar if you want. It’s the perfect summer treat!
