  • Have You Found the Safest Milk Yet?

    Have You Found the Safest Milk Yet?

    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.

    Try out our variants available at shopkeventer.com and do give us your honest feedback. Because, for us, your safety and your opinion count the most!

  • Let Your Mum Feast on Some “Me-Time!”

    Let Your Mum Feast on Some “Me-Time!”

    Okay! Let’s just spend 5 minutes to think about how your Mom, Mum, Maa, Ayee, or Amma, spends every day juggling her daily chores and yet, always manages to find the time to take care of you. No matter how busy you are, she is always there for you when you need her, struggling to strike a balance between home and work. At the end, what she is left with is a gruelling daily routine with little or no time for herself.

    Yet, on the day you decide to celebrate her, you’d rather settle for the usual gifts to thank her for all that she does for you 24×7. That usual flower bouquet, chocolates, jewellery, clothes, etc. etc.

    This Mother’s Day, we’ve got a plan. Give her the gift of “time!”

    By “time” we don’t mean you spend the day visiting a nice lounge, club, or restaurant. Or take her out for a movie that you want to watch more than she does! We mean, you gift her, a much deserved “ME TIME”. Give her the space to explore her passion, her hobbies, and even her whims and fancies. Begin by taking the load of cooking off her shoulders, and in this little endeavour let us, Team Keventer, be your partner in crime.

    The question is, “How?” Let’s together arrange for an exclusive handmade gift hamper, specially curated for her, to meet her exquisite taste (and yours!). Rush to the nearest shop selling a nice wicker basket, gather up some ribbons, and a transparent gift wrap. Now, quickly visit shopkeventer.com or your nearest grocery store to shop for the most delightful ready-to-cook frozen foods and start filling up your basket. Definitely add the following, apart from your love, to your curated hamper.

    Fill in some easy-to-serve breakfast delights…

    Morning is the original rush hour. So instead of letting your mum stress over what to prepare for breakfast, just hand her a pack of Keventer Breakfast Sausages and Keventer Italian Sausages. These non-veg frozen foods can be simply thawed and served, or lightly sautéed in some oil. Hassle-free beginning to a day and some extra minutes to water her favourite pot of plant, or go for a morning swim, or even finish her prayers—now that’s what we call a perfect gift!

    Add that 7-min main course…

    Keventer Paneer Steak or Keventer Kolkata Street Style Momos in veg and chicken variants can be the easiest dinner for someone to cook. They are ready-to-eat and can be prepared in only 5-7 minutes saving your mum hours in the kitchen. However, we insist that since these are so easy to make, you help your mum out with your own DIY lunch and dinner spreads!

    Finish off with the quickest snacks!

    Mozzarella Cheese Sticks? Onion Rings & French Fries? Paneer Double Decker? Chilli Garlic Potato Shots? Or will it be juicy Chicken Nuggets? At Keventer, we make sure you can pamper your mum and yourself with a delightfully crunchy range of veg and non-veg frozen snacks.

    So, when in the evenings, you pester your mom for some quick fingerfood, all she needs to do is spend as little as 3.5 minutes frying our veg and non-veg snack range to keep your growling tummy happy. And again (!), we insist that YOU spend 3.5 minutes in the kitchen instead and help yourself to these munchies without troubling your mum!

    Now once you’ve got your basket filled with these frozen foods, simply cover the top with a transparent gift wrap, and hold it in place with those ribbons. When she unwraps this beautiful handmade gift hamper, rest assured, she’ll unwrap for herself new hobbies, passion and even dreams that her newly received free-time will let her explore. Don’t forget about the brownie points you’ll earn for taking out time and putting in the effort to curate a DIY gift hamper with love!

  • Poila Baisakh in the Metro

    Poila Baisakh in the Metro

    “Why are Bengalis so passionate about Poila Baisakh? Is it like Durga Puja? How is it celebrated?”

    Valid questions. Durga Puja is grandiose but Poila Baisakh is more intimate—it’s the second-most awaited festival of the year after all! The excitement is on another level when Chaitra sets in. The warm days, fallen petals on pavements and sales posters appear across the metropolis, and you know it’s time. The vibe, or amej, of a fresh start, is right around the corner. And sometimes it smells fresh, delicious and sweet!

    Since good food can’t be separated from any Bengali celebration, Poila Baisakh also has its fair share of deliciousness. Some savoury, some sweet, but each evokes nostalgia and excitement for a new calendar year. Let’s delve into those celebratory delights!

    The First Payesh of The Year

    Oh, the aroma of rice simmering away in thickened milk—so quintessential of all Bengali celebrations! However, this payesh is different. It’s made with the first rice harvest of the summer. The fresh rice, mixed with milk, creates a fragrance that is simply unbeatable and unforgettable! If only perfumers could fit this into a bottle, stocks would be sold out!

    The aroma paints the picture of lush green fields in a rural pocket, ushering the ardency of newness. When made with high-quality ingredients—such as Keventer milk—nuts and raisins, this new rice turns into a warm hug in a bowl. This is just what we need before we venture into a new year!

    New Beginnings With Patishapta

    Patishapta is found near the end of the Bengali calendar year and the beginning of it. It’s too important! It’s soft, warm and filled with jaggery and grated coconut. No wonder most people go nuts over this humble homemade delight!

    While most households can’t agree on a filling—whether khoya or kheer—they all agree on picking high-quality ingredients. Always choose Keventer Metro milk for these special occasions!

    The Sweetest Ending

    All these sweet things and there’s more? Of course, there is! If Bangla is the sweetest language, then why not keep the sweets coming?

    Let’s end the new year with mishti doi—the fan favourite! While making it at home adds to the festivities, grabbing a readymade container is also welcome. As long as it’s sweet, chilled and delicious! When the merriment settles, there’s nothing better than kicking back with your family after dinner, enjoying a fresh pack of mishti doi. This year, we highly recommend you choose Keventer Metro misti doi!

    So, how do Bengalis celebrate Poila Baisakh? We gave you three of the sweetest ways! Enjoy the Bengali New Year in the metropolis with us.

  • Summer Hack: Stay Cool With Keventer

    Summer Hack: Stay Cool With Keventer

    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!

    Don’t let the heat get to you! Stay cool with Keventer. Explore our summer-friendly delights today!
