CHOCO BAR SHAKE & OREO SHAKE

When it comes to kids, it becomes very difficult for all mothers to feed them. Every day every mother tries hard to find different ways to make their kids eat healthy and nutritious food. They would try to hide the healthy food under the wraps so as to make it more fancy and attractive for kids to eat the food without knowing the real ingredient and at the same enjoy the food so that they do not create any fuss while eating. On one hand there are many kids who eat easily and on the other hand are the picky eaters who make it difficult for their parents to make them eat good food.

It is this habit of kids which has led to many new innovations in food. and not to mention that it becomes easy to feed the kids through liquid medium, whether it is juices or shakes or smoothies. This way at least they get to eat the healthy food which is mixed with some not so appreciated food by parents. But parents are sometimes left with no option but to let child eat some unhealthy food along with non-healthy food. And sometimes the parents let the kids eat whatever they want so that at least they eat.

Now when it comes to summers, all the kids want is ice creams and shakes. In these recipes we have combined the goodness of milk with ice cream and cookies which enhances not only the flavour of the shake but also increases the children curiosity towards the taste of the shake which now has their favorite cookies or ice cream in their making.

The choco bar shake has the choco bar as one of the main ingredients to generate some interest in the kids. Similarly in the Oreo shake, the delicious and lovable taste of Oreo cookies is added to the milk so that the shake is different and also make kids to have it. The two shakes are good option for those who even refuse to have milk. These yummy and delightful shakes will not only work as good coolers in the scorching heat of Indian subcontinent summers, but also make way into the tastebuds of young kids who enjoy both the ingredients individually also.

So now you don't have to go to the ice cream parlours and spend hundreds of rupees on the simple shakes which are so easy to make at home with your choice of hygienic ingredients and can be enjoyed any time in the comfort of the home. Grab your blenders and take charge. Your kids will love the shakes and your pocket will love the low cost you would need to pay when you make these delicious shakes aright at your home.

WAH WAH CHAI

In India, no morning starts, no party begins, no office runs, no day ends, no relationship is complete, if no chai is there. Chai or tea is an integral part of lives of Indians whichever place they live in this world. Not only Indians, but today it is the second most consumed drink in the world, first being the water of course. So how could the kitchen of "K for Kitchen" would have been complete without making chai. So we present the recipe of our special chai and we have named it "Wah Wah Chai" as no one who loves Chai will resist from saying Wah Wah after drinking this chai.

Tea or Chai as is known today is said to have originated in China about 22,000 years ago. The Indian origin of tea is very latest in comparison to the Chinese tea and is believed to have originated about 2800 years ago. Although China and India remain the largest producers of tea in the world but now some variety of tea is grown in parts of England, Scotland, USA, and New Zealand. But needless to say, the most popular and preferred tea is the one grown in the north east part of India, especially the Assam tea. When Britishers came to India, they liked the tea so much that they started tea cultivation on commercial scale in large quantities. Today, the tea culture is very popular in England and other parts of the Europe.

Tea is not just a drink but has become a culture in many countries of the world. Many cultures have Tea parties and Tea ceremonies. Tea is not only consumed at homes on domestic basis but is also served to guests and is part of office culture too. The tea is drunk as concoction of tea leaves and in many countries it is mixed with milk and sugar. In India, it is the most popular street food. Every street, every corner of the country have tea vendors. And they are always busy. People drink tea a number of times in a day. From bed tea, to night tea, the whole day is full of all sorts of reasons for tea. Many memes are made on social media in relation to the reasons tea lovers have for having tea. Headache, mood off, mood good, celebration, break time, meeting, and best of all is that you do not need a reason for having tea. And if they happen to have consumed tea which didn't taste good, only a good tea can overcome that bad taste left in the mouth by the bad tea. 

At K for Kitchen, we have prepared our tea in a very different way. This method of making chai will change your way of preparing tea forever. Not just it tastes better than normal tea we make, it gives that 'kadak swaad' in less tea leaves. Same ingredients but different method. So try this method next time you make tea and it is for sure that you will love it.
