  • 5 Tips to Keep Bananas from Ripening Fast

    5 Tips to Keep Bananas from Ripening Fast

    Bananas are wholesome. Bananas are sweet. Bananas keep you full. Yeah! Yeah! We know all that. But yellow bananas are disgusting when they overripen and become black! Who on earth likes those mushy, gooey fruits anyway? Unless, of course, you love to bake and can turn overripened bananas into banana oatmeal cookies or banana breads, at your will. Not all of us are bakers in the making, are we?

    So how do we prevent our favourite banana fruit from ripening faster than we like and ensure they don’t find their way to the dustbin? We’ve got 5 awesome tips and tricks up our sleeve for you to keep bananas fresh for longer.

    – DO NOT keep your bananas with other fruits in a fruit bowl. Most fruits release ethylene as they ripen which causes bananas to ripen faster.

    – Keep the bananas in a cool place, away from direct sunlight. Heat acts as a catalyst, ripening these fruits faster. This doesn’t mean you keep them inside the fridge, because that will turn your beloved fruit, black.

    – DO NOT store bananas in a closed container or bag. Nope! NEVER do that! When you are not eating bananas, do not stuff them into a restricted space because their peels rub against each other and get bruised. The fruit ripens faster at these bruise points.

    – Banana stem releases ethylene gas, which, as you already know by now, makes the fruit ripen faster. Try wrapping the crown of the bananas with some plastic. You simply restrict the release of ethylene, saving your bananas from turning into a slithery pile of mush.

    – Always choose carbide-free bananas. Carbide-ripened bananas, apart from being inferior in taste, are overly soft. As a result, they have a much shorter shelf life than their naturally ripened counterparts.

    Follow these tips while you buy naturally ripened, 100% carbide-free bananas from Keventer. And don’t forget to look for an authenticity sticker when you shop for Keventer Bananas, so you know you’ve bought the real stuff. Enjoy a nutritiously sweet treat, every day!

  • What’s This Hype Around Carbide-Free Bananas?

    What’s This Hype Around Carbide-Free Bananas?

    Before we delve further into the discussion on why you should always choose to consume carbide-free bananas, let’s first understand what ‘carbide’ really is. Carbide is a binary compound of carbon which is the primary component of calcium carbide—a chemical often used to ripen fruits. This chemical is mixed with water to release a gas called, acetylene, which is similar to the natural hormone, ethylene, produced by fruits during their ripening phase. When the fruits are still raw, this acetylene gas is used by several farmers as a catalyst to ripen the fruits much faster, making them available even during their off-season.

    However, there is nothing to rejoice about your favourite fruit, ripened with chemicals, being made available to you across all seasons. It is important for you to know that the calcium carbide that ripened your fruit is also used to process metals and industrial chemicals which makes it extremely hazardous. The health complications this chemical can cause are appalling! Imagine having your favourite fruit and landing up with stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, allergies, skin issues, fatigue, or kidney trouble. Calcium carbide is also known to be a harmful carcinogen and the more you stay away from it, the better!

    So, when you choose to add fruits to your daily diet in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle, make sure they are not carbide ripened. And the best way of doing it, is to look for actual proof. For instance, when you go shopping for Keventer bananas, you can simply look for the quality-check sticker which guarantees that these bananas are carbide-free.

    Besides being free of chemicals, carbide-free Keventer bananas retain their original nutritional quality. Their rich vitamin, mineral, potassium, and antioxidants content stays uncompromised. They also taste better than artificially ripened bananas since their natural ripening process allows them to develop a full profile of flavour.

    Do have a Keventer banana daily to enjoy its wholesome goodness. When it comes to quality, rest assured that we’ve got you covered!

  • The Art of Flavouring Lassis

    The Art of Flavouring Lassis

    We took a little longer to write this blog because while we were at it, we could literally feel our mouths water. Yes! These special lassi variants are that yum! Best part? They are super easy to make too! So put your apron on, and grab a Keventer Metro Classic Lassi and a Keventer metro Mango Lassi to churn up something deliciously different!

    Hari Bhari Pudina Lassi – Got 5 minutes? Then you’ve got this Lassi too! Throw in a cup of fresh pudina (mint) leaves into a blender and add half a cup of Keventer Metro Classic Lassi to it. Blend till the mixture is smooth. Now add another half of Keventer Metro Classic Lassi and beat up the mixture with a spoon. Pour it in a glass, add some ice, and garnish with a spring of mint. Done!

    Aam Raseela Lassi – If you thought the previous recipe was easy-breezy, wait until you read this one! Simply pour Keventer Metro Mango Lassi in a glass, add some ice and then, add some freshly chopped Himsagar/Alphonso mango cubes. Drum roll! It’s ready! For added zing, fell free to add a pinch of red chilli powder to your lassi. Also, don’t forget to cut a slice of mango, dip it into some red chilli powder and salt, and garnish you glass with it. Now that’s what we call an Aam Raseela Lassi!

    Two-in-One Mango Dhamaka – This lassi might take a little longer to make, but trust us, you’ll love the taste! Firstly, pour Keventer Metro Mango Lassi into an ice cube tray and let it freeze in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Once the cubes are frozen, take a tall glass and pour some mango syrup into it in a fashion that the syrup slides down against the body of the glass. Now start swirling the glass so that the mango drizzle forms a pattern against the glass’ body. Next, pour Keventer Metro Classic Lassi into the glass. This time, instead of adding ice cubes, simply add the frozen cubes of Keventer Metro Mango Lassi into it. Slurp it up with a straw and have a lassi-licious time!

    If you too have some innovative Lassi recipes up your sleeve, don’t forget to share them with us in the ‘comments’ section. Meanwhile, to try out these recipes at home, grab Keventer Metro Classic Lassi and Keventer Metro Mango Lassi from your nearest store or shopkeventer.com.

  • Mishti Doi – An Indispensible Part of a Bengali’s Life

    Mishti Doi – An Indispensible Part of a Bengali’s Life

    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.

  • Bangali’s Forever Romance with ‘Doodh Cha’

    Bangali’s Forever Romance with ‘Doodh Cha’

    “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!
