FreshMojo offers variety of ready-to-cook meals right kits at your doorsteps all over Bengaluru! Their menu comprises of Salads, Sandwiches, Indian Curries, Burger, Biryani and much more. Ready-to-cook meals are in high demand due to limited time people have for cooking homely meals. FreshMojo perfectly fits in this space by providing all the ingredients required to cook. All we need to do is read the instruction provided with each kit and follow them step by step.

We recently ordered few of their meal kits online and within few hours the kits were delivered right at our door steps. These had all the fresh veggies, breads, masalas needed to prepare the meal. Vegetables like potatoes, rolled chapati, etc. were vacuum packaged so that the freshness is not lost. We tried their Greek Salad, Vegetable Sandwich, Aloo Jeera with Rolled Chapati and Vegetable Biryani.

Greek Salad: The Greek Salad comes in a box packing with fresh lettuce, cucumber, colored capsicum, olives, onion, tomatoes, feta cheese. There was a mix nuts pack with the salad which contained flax, pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds. The salad dressing had olive oil, apple cider vinegar, pink salt, garlic, salt and pepper and lots of lemon juice. Overall, the salad had all the textures needed. The veggies were super fresh and the combo was delicious.

Ready to Cook Meal Kits from FreshMojo

Vegetable Sandwich: The Vegetable Sandwich from FreshMojo comes with 2 layers between fresh white bread. One is from the fresh veggies like cucumber, tomato and lettuce. The next layer is from the vegetable coleslaw made with eggless mayonnaise, cabbage, red capsicum and red cabbage. This comes with a spicy mayonnaise by the side. The sandwich was filling and had good taste.

Aloo Jeera and Chapati: The Aloo Jeera is made with a spicy mix of cumin, onion, tomatoes and green chilies. You need to cook them in a pan/kadhai. Once the instructions are followed, the Aloo Jeera came out to be surprisingly tasty. The Chapati were a bit thin and hence tend to get very crispy. But, loved this combo meal which gets prepared in under 20 mins.

Vegetable Biryani: Everyone’s favourite biryani is only 20mins away. The combo has everything you need to prepare the biryani right from ghee to masala to pre-soaked rice and even preparing the raita. Just mix everything as instructed and give the pressure cooker 3 whistles. Enjoy the biryani with the raita mix provided in the kit itself. The taste of the Biryani was amazing!!

The experience with FreshMojo is filled with fresh ingredients, clear instructions and delicious outcomes.

Mangalore or Mangaluru is a coastal city in Karnataka. It is known for its rich heritage, culture and ofcourse food. The town is well connected from Bangalore and takes around 7-8hours to reach depending on the road conditions. Roaming in and around Mangalore is a breeze, thanks to the auto-rickshaws here, which take you to every nook and corner, that too at meter rates (something that you definitely don’t see in Bangalore).

Some of the places that we strolled around are:

  1. Sri Mangaladevi Temple – Located in the heart of the city, Mangalore is named after this temple only. Built in the 9th century the temple still holds most of its structure. As per legends the temple was believed to be built by Lord Parashurama himself. Once inside, immerse yourself in the spiritual world and take a leisurely walk around the temple premises. 
  1. Panambur Beach / Tannirbhavi Beach – Located on the Mangalore – Udupi Highway, this beach is popular among locals as well as tourists. The approach road to Panambur Beach may be filled with oil tankers but once you’re on the beach enjoy the cool breeze and the clean sand. This Beach has few eateries and shopping shacks. Just dip your feets in the cool water and enjoy the sunset/sunrise. Avoid going here during the day as it may get too hot. A near-by option is Tannirbhavi Beach which is less crowded with a better approach road.

  1. Saint Aloysius Chapel – Part of the Saint Aloysius School & College, this is a beautiful chapel. The paintings on the ceiling are mesmerizing, reminding of a renaissance setting. Don’t forget to visit the Saint Aloysius Museum just next to the chapel. 
  1. City Center Mall – If you are looking to shop there are multiple options in Mangalore. One of the top malls is the City Center Mall which houses multiple brands and has plenty of activities for kids. This mall is very close to Saint Aloysius Chapel.
  1. Udupi Cafe – This cafe is located opposite to City Center Mall and cannot be missed. It serves some authentic Udupi dishes along with being a multicuisine restaurant. The cafe also has a service hall. The Paneer Tikka with Basil and Garlic, was out of the world. You may also order their South Indian Thali for a unique experience. 
Mangalore Trip
  1. Pabba’s – One of the legendary ice-cream cafes in Mangalore. There are no words to describe the unique ice-cream flavours and the fan following of this place. Be ready to wait as the queues are extremely long. The Special Gudbud Icecream is even more legendary here. The ice-creams are super smooth. They also have few fast food items. 
Mangalore Trip

Mangalore is a city that has many things to offer be it temples, malls, beaches and legendary eateries. A day trip to this city is just scraping off the iceberg.

Dravyam extracts oil using traditional wood cold pressed techniques without heating or adding any chemicals. This slow process of extracting oil without heating it to a high temperature preserves all its nutrients and enzymes. It is not only good for health but also enhances taste as well. Dravyam maintains a great source of the raw material so that the premium quality of its oil is maintained. Dravyam even goes one step further when it comes to extraction of these oils. The oil is made in a stone mill with a wooden pestle rotating slowly without damaging the key nature of these oil, just like the way our ancestors used to extract from thousands of years. The oils are kept unrefined so that the natural sediments are not removed.

Dravyam - Wood Cold Pressed Oil

These oils are chemical-free unlike the oils we use these days being treated with chemicals like Sodium, Hexane, Hydroxide, Bleaching Agents, Sodium bicarbonate etc. We recently tried some of their oils which are packed in different quantities like 200ml, 500ml, 1liter and even 5liter packing. These oils enhance the taste of the food significantly as it contains no preservatives.  

Coconut Oil – Great source of saturated fat, this oil saturated at room temperatures. It also contains Lauric acid which has antibacterial, antiviral and antioxidant properties. It helps in weight loss, improves immune system, increases HDL or good cholesterol. The cold pressed coconut oil can be used for both internal and external usage.

Dravyam - Wood Cold Pressed Oil

Groundnut Oil – This is a vegetable oil derived from peanuts. It is a great source of Vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects our body from free radical damage and reducing the risk of heart diseases. Great source of unsaturated fats, minerals and can be used as skin care as well.

Sunflower Oil – It is made with poly-saturated fats which lowers cholesterol levels, boosts skin care and energy levels, reduces inflammation in body. This oil is known to even have anti-cancer potential.

Note: Sediments are part of the natural cold pressed oils and you may see them floating around. If kept untouched for a longtime the sediments can settle at the bottom.

Dravyam also extract variety of other oils like Sesame Oil / Castor Oil / Bhringaraj Oil / Safflower Oil in various quantities. Buy Dravyam Cold Pressed oil today from www.dravyam.in

Yummus is food delivery service that specializes in our favorite Mediterranean dish – Hummus. Yummus was started by a bunch of food enthusiasts who loved Hummus so much that they thought of starting a business of it. Their range of Hummus starts right from the Classic one along with 4 flavored ones – Spinach, Roasted Pepper, Beetroot and Carrot. They also sell pita bread and lavash alongside. The Hummus are made from the freshest ingredients with no preservatives, no artificial flavors. They even add rock salt instead of normal salt.

Hummus is made by grinding 3 main ingredients – chickpeas, tahini and water. Hummus is a great source when is comes to dietary fibers, as it improves the health of our gut. It is also a rich source of protein, iron, manganese, phosphorus, VitB, among others; especially for vegetarians and vegans who lack these essentials in other food sources. Consuming protein is specially essential for optimal growth and immune function. We recently ordered from Yummus via their website and were blown away with their rich and fresh ingredients.

Original Hummus – The original Hummus is nothing less than the best. Made from a simple recipe you can taste each of the ingredients. You can also try it as a dip with roti/naan/kulcha etc.

Roasted Bell Pepper Hummus – Probably my favorite one, as it is made with roasted bell peppers and spices. This gives the Hummus a bit of a smoky flavor.

Beetroot Hummus – This hummus is made with beetroot which gives it a rich pink color. The taste is very smooth with aftertaste of garlic.

Whole Wheat Pita Bread – Made with whole wheat flour, this bread has all the nutrients you need for your whole day. Goes well with any kind of Hummus.

Yummus currently delivers all over Bangalore. Try it today!
