Stay Warm With Steamy Momos

When temperatures drop outside, we are inspired to grab the nearest bowl of something savoury and hot to get warm and cosy! While soup is good, there’s something that tastes even better during winter—momos.

Found across the South Asian subcontinent—India, Nepal and Tibet—momos are flour dumplings filled with meat or vegetables. It is widely popular as a snack. Zomato food delivery reported that more than 1.06 crore people ordered momos in 2021! One can say, that the snack sector in India is completely momo-polised!

From Delhi to Kolkata, momo lovers can be found at street corners waiting for the vendors to plate their orders. For days when you can’t step out or your friend refuses to hang out, there are frozen momos. Now, don’t be disheartened because some of the best brands for momos in Kolkata are making the most delicious offerings that you can customise at home! Let us show you how.

Get Ramen-tic

Forget fancy restaurants, bring home the ramen experience with your favourite instant noodles and a packet of Keventer momo. Just make sure to prepare the soup extra brothy and add the frozen momos at the correct time. Also, add vegetables to your liking!

Take It Cheesy

If you’ve never tried ema datshi, this is the season to do so. Considered to be the national dish of Bhutan, ema datshi is a spicy stew made from chilli peppers and cheese. Cook the momo separately and add it to the stew when done. We guarantee this is like a hug in a bowl!

Rice To Meat You

Frozen momos can be pan-fried, which means nothing can stop you from enjoying it with fried rice. Make your favourite bowl of fried rice. Then, heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, carefully set the frozen momos in a single layer in the pan. Cook until the bottom of the momos are golden brown. Turn over and cook the other side for 1 minute. Finally, place as many pieces as you want on your fried rice and enjoy!

Just Chillin’

If you like spicy and sour things, this one is for you. And all of this comes together in one bowl! You simply add chilli flakes, light and dark soy sauce, black vinegar, sugar, sesame seeds, spring onions and cilantro to a bowl. Pour hot oil over it and let the ingredients sizzle. Finally, place the boiled momos and add a couple of ladles of the cooking water to the bowl to make the soup.

Well, you could skip all of this and just enjoy the glorious momos as they are. Grab your pack of Keventer momo today!

Planning to quit cow milk? Think again!

We are back with some exciting news! If you are a lover of cow milk, this info might bring you great cheer!

If research is to be believed, cow milk could be the healthiest dairy option that you could opt for 2 . This means, if you are a health enthusiast, you might not have to look for other plant-based variants such as oat, cashew or almond milk that are not just available in limited quantities but also exorbitantly priced. Besides, no one is alien to the fact that cow milk provides complete nutrition good for your bones, your muscles, your immunity, and your body as a whole. Let’s do something, let’s revisit the super benefits of the original super drink, together!

Powerhouse of Proteins

Cow milk is rich in proteins (a fact as well known as the existence of the sun!), and the only plant-based substitute that comes close to its protein content is soy milk. However, here’s the catch.

While the quantity of protein is more or less the same, it is the quality that is significantly different. Plant-based protein is considered to be of lower quality than the ‘true protein’ present in cow milk 1 . This factor has major implications when it comes to providing health benefits to children and the elderly.

The Bone Builder

No brownie points for guessing that we’ll be highlighting the vital role cow milk plays in healthy bone development for all. And by ‘all’, we mean ALL! The treasure of calcium hidden in this beverage is crucial for bone development in children. In adults, it prevents bone weakness and is known to reduce chances of osteoporosis 3 . Now here’s a fact you might not be aware of—milk works wonders for women, post menopause, making up for the loss of oestrogen 1 .

Loves Your Heart

High potassium intake can lower the risk of any type of cardiac stroke, and the fact that cow milk is rich in potassium is one of the top benefits of milk 3 . The casein and whey in milk can be instrumental in lowering your blood pressure 1 . Add to that the presence of conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids that have been proven to reduce the risk of diabetes and various heart diseases 3 .

Your Diet Buddy

Among all the benefits of drinking milk, this one will probably bring you the most joy! Unbelievable, yet true, cow milk can act as the best milk for weight loss due to the bounty of nutrients it contains. While proteins help you feel full for longer, the high levels of dietary calcium helps in breaking down fat and prevents its absorption by the body 3 . So no more saying, “goodbye”, to cow milk when you plan to go on a diet! Unless you are lactose intolerant, pack your diet-chart with ample of milk and dairy products.

Now that we have given you multiple reasons to become a fan of the original health beverage once again, do remember to add a glass to your daily diet. And, if you are looking for the best milk brand in Kolkata, look no further! We bring you a range of Keventer Milk that you will simply fall in love with. Try them out, today!
