Pottuck Ambassador is hosting a Kathi Roll Festival, which will be on until February 4. If you're a Frankie person and looking for a change, the festival will provide you with it. Para-thas and Roomali Rotis made on the spot, wrap the filling of your choice. The stuffing comes in a variety from mutton seekh, chicken seekh, to seafood to mushrooms, paneer, and nutre-la. Prices: Rs 100 plus tax for the non-vegetarian roll and Rs 85 plus tax for the vegetarian. In more ways than one, it pays to be a vegetarian. Achha Hai. The festival is open for lunch and dinner. From the house of Macdonald Mohan Distillers Ltd you now have the Grand Reserve. The blended product contains a higher proportion of scotch whisky, which gives it that certain edge; smooth taste and aroma. It is priced between Rs 225 and Rs 250. For chocoholics, here's the latest update on the top of the pops. The latest survey by Cadbury shows that rival manu-facturer Nestle tops the league with Kit Kat on which the nation spent 200 pounds sterling in 1995. Mars Bars, was the second favourite and Cadbury's Dairy Milk, which celebrated its 90th anniversary, reinforced its posi-tion as Britain's third-favourite chocolate brand. Maltesers was the top bagged chocolate, Smarties, the favourite children's brand and Roses, the number one boxed chocolate. Watch this space for chewing gum next. A 200-metre-long pizza found its way from Vincenza, Italy, into the Guinness Book of World Records. Pizzas seem to be a popular record to beat. Only a week before this one, another village in the same region had won for its 50-metre pizza. The longest pizza used up 300 kilos of tomatoes, 200 kilos of mozzarella, 10 kilos of mushrooms and 60 kilos of ham. Whatever happened to copy-writers who dreamed up brand names like Kingfisher, Sandpiper etc? Or is United Bre-weries losing its verbal touch? Their latest offering in beer is Kalyani Black Label Premium strong beer. Its alcoholic streng-th is 6.5 per cent and its claim to being different is that the unfer-mented extract is retained in the beer to give it body, which makes it even more bitter, or less sweet, if you please. It's avai-lable in Bombay at Rs 36 for a 650 ml bottle. Just ask for Kalya-ni Black Label Premium Strong and never mind the copywriter. If you thought lissome figures like Aishwarya Rai's and Mehr Jesia's came from eating two peas and string beans and other unhappy platefuls of sprouts, forget it. The Femina Figure Watcher's Recipe Book informs you, among other things, that these two beauties didn't have to turn bulimic to look good, they just ate sensibly. Low cal. That's what the recipe book is about. Unless the pictures lie, there's no reason why lowcal food should miss out on tasting good too. The book also does away with taboos. You can eat pork chops and croissants and the ingredi-ents in several recipes call for yummy cashew pastes and ye gods! mayonnaise. There is no ban on oil, rice and stuffing and all those things that add miles to your waistline. But the bot-tomline is, there's a mysterious calorie deduction in the food. At Rs 150, you have nothing to lose but your weight. EPICURE |
