Foods That Look Similar But Are Different 

why I am telling you this, right? I am sharing this because this is the same case with these foods which are totally different but are thought to be the same. People since time and age have been confused between the two and then think they are the same thing. If you don't want these foods to go through the same tragedy as I do on a daily basis, then don your reading glasses and read away. I know you will understand my pain! 

1. Dal Bafla and Dal Baati 

Dal Bafla and Dal Baati are not the same. They may look similar but the process to cook them differs by a step. If you are cooking Dal Bafla, then first you will have to make the dough, boil it and then bake it. Whereas, with Dal Baati, the dough is made and directly baked which is why Dal Bafla is softer in texture both inside out than Baati which is hard on the outside and soft on the inside. Now that you know which is your favourite?  

2. chowmein and Noodles 

Chowmein and Noodles are two different things in terms of everything. When it comes to Spaghetti, then it is safe to say that it comes from Italy, thicker than noodles, made from wheat flour and eaten with a fork.

Whereas when it is about Noodles, then it belongs to China, made from different ingredients and eaten with chopsticks.

3. Muffin and Cupcake

Dear readers, there is a difference between the two.

If you are making a muffin, then the batter is denser as it is beaten for a brief period. It is lumpier in nature. Cupcakes are beaten for a longer time making it airier. It has a uniformness of air bubbles. And one significant difference is that cupcakes have frosting and muffins don't.

4. Dim sums and Momos 

Dim sums are a gift from China while Momos come from Tibet. The former are small bite-sized portions of food, offered with tea. The word 'dim sums' stand for 'touch the heart' and are just a light snack. The latter is an unofficial national dish served with hot and spicy chilli sauce, according to a Quora thread.

Now that you are aware, go show off! 

Must Try These Bengali Restaurants In Delhi

Bengali cuisine is a culinary style originating in Bengal, a region in the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent, which is now divided between Bangladesh and the Bangla state of India. Other regions, such as Tripura, and the Barak Valley region of Assam (in India) also have large native Bengali populations and share this cuisine. With an emphasis on fish, vegetables and lentils are served with rice as a staple diet.

1. Oh! CalcuttaOh! 

Oh! Calcutta has always been appealing. What we love about the buffet is the choice in main course. Elsewhere, you get so many starters that you have no space left for main course at all. Here the starters are limited - so you get to enjoy the curries most.

Hilsa Festival is the current promotion at their outlets and we got to try the best dishes they had on offer. The buffet has options from all courses as the bongs like it - bhaja, dal, posto, the meat, the sweets, the chutney. We loved the offerings as part of the special festival as well.
The start with Ilish Fish Fingers could have been a little better. The fish fingers were a little dry but with the accompaniment of kasundi, they were good to go. Mochar Ilish was the star dish - a preparation made with mocha and Ilish - the distinct taste of both the fish and the mocha made it a must have. Another dish we loved to the core was Aam Tel Ilish - the queen of fish marinated with the oil of pickle, cooked within a pumpkin leaf and served with a portion of rice cooked with same flavors - this one's another must have from the special menu. Ilish Bhaja comes with a fried piece and 2 portions of fish egg cutlets, alongwith the oil in which it was fried - this is how it is had traditionally and we loved the way of presenting - needless to say, there is nothing wrong that can go here.
You get a lot of variety in the curries section - Lal Lonkar Ilish - the fish cooked in a spicy, tangy curry made mainly using red chillies was a good one. Posto Narkel Ilish is a fav. among people who love the fish and it was made very well too - among all the curries this was our favorite. Fish Paturi is well made, but the presentation is different - we expected it to come wrapped in a banana leaf - but it came differently - although there was no compromise on the taste altogether.
Desserts have options from gurer payesh, bhapa sandesh and rosogulla to choose from among others.

2. Maa Tara, CR Park Market 2

Searching for Bengal vibes? Here it is. Maa Tara has always been one of my favourite. Amazing food. The quality of the food is well maintained. It is fresh and absolutely delicious. Delivery is on time always. The staff is polite. Recommended dishes- chicken kosha and rohu kalia.

3. Kolkata Biryani House, CR Park Market 1

Nice biriyani with the quintessential bengali touch at No.1 mkt CR Park. They serve decent portions too. They have grown over the last few years and the quality of food has go to do a lot with it. The eatery is well managed and is a favourite amongst bengali folks in CR Park and around. My favourite though are the rolls here. I find them the closest to the Kolkata variety and in my opinion the best in CR Park. Do try for some good lip smacking stuff. You wont be dissapointed.

4. Bijoli Grill

Name is lit "bijoli grill" a place where you can find the local benagli delicacies in the heart of the capital. The location is good but once you get inside the place you would find yourself in a early 80's canteen which would be a great place to come and dine in for all the benagli food lovers.. Ki khabo tales.....
Now let me speak about the menu all you see isn't true meaning everything isn't available there are items which are seasonal and there some items which are not reasonable by availability...
Food quality isn't good I have treated my self with authentic benagli dishes trust me they are taking the name down. Service is as good as a government office from "office office" but this is true some people are laid back.... Dada relax..
I couldn't try the thali but it seems that's the only thing for what people come here to savour untill I try the same I can't lie...

5. Hi Kolkata

Hi Kolkata royal ambience, polite and humble service staff and the culprit head.
While finding a place to eat Bengali seafood nearby got this option in zomato.
The ambience is superb and Royal. Value added by the extra ordinary service by the server. Amazing hospitality.
But you can't give your feedback here if you don't like any food item. You will be asked questions by the chef and in charge of the place like . Why u ordered and that to arrogantly.
Fish qaliya it was not at all eatable the gravy was not qaliya gravy and when we informed this to server then the mess happened with the 30 years experience 0% knowledge chef cum in charge.

Most Romantic Restaurants In Delhi For Your Date 

The most important part comes when you have to decide which Delhi restaurant

you should take your date to or which will be the most romantic restaurant in Delhi? Here is a list of the top restaurants in for fine dining and to experience the best of romantic candlelight dinners in Delhi. So what are you waiting for? Go on and select your pick from the below and enjoy your date.

1.Mia Bella- Romantic Kitchen & Bar

Mia Belle is undoubted the ideal romantic date spot with your loved one, the place is spread over three floors promising different sitting areas. Most ideal time to visit would be at night, maybe when it is a little cold. Staff here is efficient with swift service however they forgot to add zomato gold offer to us bill, which was little off since they take the code before placing an order. 

Rainbow sangria is their speciality which is highly recommended, with a twist to normal sangria this one includes Their drinks menu screams summers and refreshing fruits, I ordered a orange based mocktail, the drink had ideal fruity punch along with fresh slices of oranges. They have a great menu with good variety to suit everyone's palate, I really liked the fact that they customised our pasta according to our wants. Arrabiata Spaghetti was amazing, nicely cooked and perfect balance of spices with fresh veggies. Topped with cheese which was optimum.

2. Lodi – The Garden Restaurant

This is one of my favourite place to hang out as a couple. Loved this place their ambience, their food. Everything's about this place. Have been there for so many time, but never got disappointed. They have great services. All their staff is very responsible to taking care of. I'll give it 5 star always. 

3. Kylin Premier

Their decor and service staff quality has always been superior to many in the vicinity and till date have maintained it at very high level.
If one were to venture to a culinary establishment that can be described as “The best of China in New Delhi ”, then one would surely expect to be presented with food of a heavenly nature and kylin for sure no longer stands that test.
It had started off with unmatched taste and authenticity but in course of time have compromised on the quality and taste. They have unfortunately modified their recipes and it no longer remains an outlet that can swear for its authenticity. It is now quite indianised in their taste.

4. Sevilla By Claridges

This place is very classy and probably ideal in terms for a romantic date. But if you want to have some good food then you probably need to think twice. I had paella which is combination of Spanish rice, sea food and chicken which was good. For a vegetarian option we took an appetizer of mushrooms and it was pathetic. The food is really expensive and not worth the penny.

5. FIO Country Kitchen and Bar

Located in Garden of 5 senses in saket with greenery all around. Went there with friends for a birthday party. Ambience is very good specially if u want to go for romantic candle light dinner/date with your partner. Food is ok. Service little slow instead of less crowd. Rate wise it's quite expensive. Menu has vry selected items. If u stay in North or east Delhi then it's very far off. Recommended for couples.

6.Olive Bar & Kitchen

Olive bar & Kitchen is a place which is perfect for a romantic date, specially if you are looking for authentic Italian. It’s very hard to find an authentic Italian restaurant. The food will straight away take you to the streets of Italy. We ordered a few drinks out of which Hendricks stood out to its reputation. Lobster with shrimp tentacles is a must have which can be followed by a Tenderloin. The place looks very elegant in the night specially if the weather is pleasant.

Fair warning: it’s always crowded, so you might have to come to terms with not scoring a table, but there’s always home delivery.

Top 5 Foods You Should Avoid Eating in Breakfast

Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It gets you charged for your routine lined up, but that doesn't mean that the food you are calling breakfast is necessarily good for you. It might even be unhealthy to such an extent that it can make you sick. And, that is exactly what happens when attention is not paid to good food. But don't worry, I have curated a list for you about the foods that you should avoid eating in the morning.   

Parantha 

This one might hurt a bit because parantha is one of the most beloved breakfast food items in India. But sadly, the excessive butter and ghee on the parantha make it unhealthy! 

Alternative: However, you can eat veggie parantha prepared from little oil with salty curd.

Bread and Butter 

All of us have bread and butter every day. I can't even imagine a day when I didn't wake up to find bread and butter on the dining table but it turns out that this combination has little or no nutritional value. Are you as shocked as I am? 

Alternative: You can prepare a nutritious sandwich using multi-grain or brown bread with veggies instead of butter.  

Puri Sabzi

Since the puris are fried in oil and eaten with potato curry, it deems it unhealthy for breakfast because you will be consuming a lot of oil first thing in the morning! 

Alternative: Instead of having oily puri and sabzi, you can go for plain chapati with mix veg.

Samosa

You can find samosas in every nook and cranny of India. But beware, if you eat this in the morning, it will make you sluggish and lethargic.  

Alternative: You can eat porridge instead of oily samosas. Your body will thank you. 

Maggi

Of course, Maggi is great for an evening snack but when it comes to breakfast, then it would be wise that you don't go for this. There is nothing in this snack which holds a nutritional value. 

Alternative: Have oatmeal instead of Maggi which would be quite beneficial.
