    Tips To Prepare a Fast and Easy Ramadan Iftar

    Are you planning meals for a whole month? That can feel like a full-time job! Committing to preparing meals while fasting for 30 days straight can get exhausting. But we’re here to let you know, you can still prepare delicious and easy iftar recipes without running out of energy!

    Here are some great tips for preparing fast and easy iftar recipes for the whole family.

    ‘Mise en Place’ Is Your Best Friend

    Mise en place is a French word for “putting in place”. It’s about preparing and laying out utensils, measurements and ingredients before cooking. This is a trick used in professional kitchens that makes cooking faster and enables you to move through the steps of the recipe quickly.

    Speed Prep With Staples

    Planning meals is more overwhelming than cooking them! Save yourself the headache by stocking up on pantry staples that speed up the cooking process.

    Prioritise Your Health

    Ensure your health and choose food that sustains and nourishes you throughout the fasting. Particularly, if you purchase carbide-free bananas from Keventer, you can enjoy them whenever you want. For suhoor or iftar, Keventer banana should become your staple! Bananas are healthy and filling, which provides you energy to go through your whole day—especially when consumed during suhoor. They also soothe your stomach after a whole day of fasting during iftar.

    Frozen Foods Can Save The Day

    A golden rule to meal prep is to stock frozen products. Keventer has a variety of sausages, veg and non-veg snacks that make throwing a feast an easier process. And the best news is that they are all halal!

    Minimal Ingredients, Maximum Output

    The best rule to follow for iftar should be this! When you stock up for meal prep, make sure you’re buying ingredients you can use for multiple easy iftar recipes. For instance, if you buy chicken mince, you can use it for pulao, curries, samosas, paratha and more. When you stock up on UHT milk from Keventer, you can also use it for savoury dishes, milkshakes, kheer and so on.

    You’re more than ready to take on the world of meal prep with these tips! We’re making sure you’re ready to brace yourself for any iftar hosting surprises. Keventer has you covered with all your Ramadan essentials, from snacks to desserts!

  • Why Bananas are the best fruit for Sehri?

    Why Bananas are the best fruit for Sehri?

    WHY BANANAS ARE YOUR BEST FRUIT FOR SEHRI

    Ramadan is the holy month of devotion, prayer, self-reflection and growth. However, it is also a month of extreme self-control with 30 days of fasting at a stretch. Thus, what we choose to eat during Iftar and Sehri can have major implications on our body and energy levels. The idea is to stick to a minimalistic healthy diet instead of giving in to temptation and indulging in excessive fried food or beverages with high-levels of sugar, before you begin your fast or break it.

    Since Sehri or Suhur is the first meal consumed early in the morning before the main fasting begins, it is essential that the food consumed is nutritious and keeps you feeling full for a longer period of time. That’s why, we suggest Keventer Banana as a ‘must-add’ to your pre-dawn diet. Here are 4 reasons why:

    #1: It’s Fibre-Rich: Soluble fibres turn into a gel-like form upon reaching the stomach, and slow down digestion. This helps in keeping cholesterol and blood sugar levels low, giving you ample of energy throughout the day. The banana lands up being a wonder-fruit in this case. Despite their sugar content, bananas are so rich in fibres such as pectin that they not only keep you energized but also keep your gut in good health during the entire fasting season.

    #2: Has Good Carbs: Bananas are a great source of resistant starch. Now what is a resistant starch? Resistant starch is a great carbohydrate that can improve your body’s ability to react to insulin. The best part is, instead of getting digested in the small intestines, it collects in the large intestines, ferments and produces good gut bacteria. This means that you will be left feeling fuller despite consuming less food. Resistant starch can also aid in easing your digestive system after fasting.

    #3: Comes with Anti-Bloating Properties: Fasting can cause severe bloating in some people. However, here again, our wonder-fruit comes to the rescue! There’s ample evidence that bananas can prevent the accumulation of gas in the stomach and the retention of water, thereby preventing bloating.

    #4: It’s Pottasium-Rich: The potassium in bananas plays a vital role in reducing your thirst and keeping you hydrated for a much longer period of time. This potassium also helps your muscles work better keeping lethargy, caused due to fasting, at bay.

    As the month of Ramadan sets in, do take care of yourself and your health without any compromises. Add Keventer Bananas to your Sehri meal and enjoy the goodness of this fruit to the fullest. Ramadan Mubarak!

  • It’s your favorite Classic Lassi

    It’s your favorite Classic Lassi

    IT’S DELICIOUS. IT’S HEALTHY. IT’S YOUR FAVOURITE CLASSIC LASSI!

    Come summer, the sweltering heat will have you craving for something cool that is not just delicious but also keeps you hydrated. More than often, you’ll want to spoil yourself with the range of soft drinks available in the market. This is where we’ll ask you to stop and give your health a thought.

    While undoubtedly tasty, aerated drinks come with appalling side effects that can cause more harm to your body than any other liquid. From causing diabetes to adding those extra pounds, soft drinks can lead to unnecessary health complications. So what should you do? Stick to plain water? Perhaps yes, or perhaps, you could try something wholesome, tasty, and healthy. Something like fruit juices, or the age-old favourite Indian drink – lassi.

    The lassi, these days, comes in multiple variants. There’s Rose Lassi, Mango Lassi, Strawberry Lassi, Kesar Pista Lassi, and even Chocolate Lassi. However, nothing beats the taste of the Classic Lassi! The slightly sour taste of curd perfectly blending with the sweetness of sugar, with a dash of salt and some spices added to taste, makes for a delectable summer drink. Most importantly, this classic beverage comes with a plethora of health benefits.

    Spikes up your digestion

    The key ingredient of the Classic Lassi is curd or yoghurt. Needless to say, this makes the beverage rich in probiotics that not only lubricate the intestines, but also help in easy breakdown and absorption of food. So, do add this super drink to your daily diet, and if you are worried about not having enough time to make it at home, just grab the Keventer Classic Lassi from the nearest store!

    Aids in weight management

    Move over the new-gen, anti-bloating, fat-reducing tablets. Try something natural instead! You know how curd can keep you feeling full for a longer period of time. The lassi does the same. Fun fact—the healthy bacteria in lassi can keep bloating at bay, which, in turn, keeps your belly in shape.

    Makes you stronger

    Like any other great dairy product, lassi too is rich in calcium and makes your bones stronger. Moreover, the high vitamin D content in the drink can boost your immunity, manifold.

    Gives you that much desired flawless skin

    Lassi is rich in lactic acid which improves skin texture and elasticity. It can also aid in the removal of freckles and blemishes leaving your skin flawless and youthful.

    Need more reasons for us to convince you to make the Classic Lassi your go-to drink this summer? Well, here’s one more! One of the biggest advantages of incorporating a beverage like the Keventer Classic Lassi in your daily diet is the fact that it is comes in a tetra pack that increases the shelf life of the product. So you don’t need to make fresh lassi every day because you can simply stack up on Keventer Classic Lassi and drink it fresh daily. Best part? UHT processed and hygienic, the Keventer Classic Lassi pack can be relished even on the go.

    Get ready for an awesomely delicious summer ahead. And keep watching this space since we’ll be back with another interesting blog, soon!

  • Samosas with a Twist

    Samosas with a Twist

    A warm cup of tea, some nice people to have a good conversation with, and a platter of samosas— Indian evenings like these ooze a romanticism of their own. For time immemorial, the samosa has been a favourite snack in almost every Indian household. The triangular shaped crisp savoury is artistically prepared with a spicy potato filling that is carefully stuffed into a mini cone created with an all-purpose flour dough. The mouth of the cone is then sealed by pinching together the open ends of the dough and the perfectly shaped triangle is deep fried. Calorific, true, but also extremely delicious!

    It’s interesting to note that over the years, this savoury snack has gone through multiple modifications. Different parts of the country have come up with their own concoctions, and we can’t debate the fact that all of them taste heavenly! There is the Phulgobi Samosa of Bengali, and the Gujarati Samosa filled with green peas. For the dairy lover, there are paneer and cheese variants. There are also these interesting versions with an international touch such as the Pizza Samosa and the Chinese Samosa!

    Out of all these delectable options, what stays a constant favourite apart from the original Aloo Samosa is the Chicken Samosa. Stuffed with a juicy chicken filling, these non-veg snacks always leave people wanting for more. Unfortunately, Chicken Samosas are not as commonly available in fast food joints as the potato ones. So what does one do when one wants to snack on this yummy non-veg Indian delight? We suggest you stack your fridge with frozen, ready-to-eat Chicken Samosas, right now! Here’s why.

    #1: Non-veg lover’s go-to snack

    Imagine loving chicken and imagine loving samosas, and now imagine having something that combines both your favourites into one. Don’t imagine! Just a grab a pack of Keventer Chicken Samosas instead.

    #2: Adds variety to your party

    Why settle for the same old snack options when you can try something different? Offer your guests variety by serving a platter of freshly-fried Chicken Samosas alongside the traditional samosas and Mithais. The best part is, you don’t even have to go searching for Chicken Samosas all across the city. In fact, you don’t even have to step out of home if you have already stacked your fridge with Keventer Chicken Samosas.

    #3 Ready in the blink of an eye

    It’s ready to eat. And that says all! You can fry and serve delicious Chicken Samosas in minutes. If you are ravenous, you don’t need to wait for an hour for a food delivery service to bring you something to eat. Or, you don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen, preparing something for yourself. You can simply save yourself from the torture with Chicken Samosas from the best samosa brand in town—Keventer!
