A Feast of Words & Wonders: Culinary Journey At Boche & Shakesbierre

It was the tranquil afternoon of August 10, 2024, when an oasis of mystery and indulgence was born in Boche & Shakesbierre — “A Feast of Words & Wonders,” a Sufi-themed afternoon presented by thestyle.world where some of Bangalore’s most powerful influencers gathered for an exquisite immersive journey into the world of magic through the medium of Sufi, along with some modern gastronomy. The magnificent event was hosted and curated by Ms. Shrishti Jaiswal; Editor-in-Chief (theStyle.world).    A Sufi Dreamscape As the influencers entered the venue, they also stepped into the soulful Sufi afternoon. Classy shades and delicate flower arrangements adorned the venue, along with a performance setup that injected relaxation in each individual, which made you want to get lost in the moment. It couldn’t have done better justice to this Sufi concept it had always had, where the old is stirred with the new, as it did with its own all-transformed interiors of the restaurant that felt like a magical abode, as if every corner was laden with thoughts from yore and poems of the times gone by. A Fusion of Flavours The table tasting was definitely the centrepiece of the event, according to Boche & Shakesbierre. An equally innovative and inspired menu. Chefs, culinary creations, design not meals but ‘experiences’—autonomous, self-containing plates that are orchestras of flavours, textures, and aromas. The new menu serves:  VEG STARTERS: Mexican Jalapeno Cheesy Buttons, Urulai Kaara Fry, Crispy Corn, Aam Ka Paneer Tikka, Leek & Mushroom Tarts, Dahi Ke Kebab, and Thai Crispy Chilli Vegetable.  Non-vegetarian starters: Chicken German Meat Ball, Tawa Prawns Ghee Roast, Lucknow Galouti Kebab, Tawa Chicken Tazza, Dhaniya Tawa Chicken, and Fisherman’s Fritters.  The MAIN COURSE veggies excuded were Paneer Palak Kofta, Thai Red Curry With Rice, and Vegetable Jalfrezi.  MAIN COURSE NON-Veg: Chatti Alleppey Fish Curry With Rice, Thai Green Curry With Rice, Murgh Kalimirchi.  INDIAN BREADS: Tandoori Roti, Laccha Paratha, and Tawa Coin Paratha.   Equally bewitched were the desservants. The menu read Lemon Meringue Dome, Chocolate Ganache, Shakesbierre Brownie and Tres Leches all the way. Every spoon had travelled into Sufi culture’s soul and the sweetness and warmth lingered.   Some of the Bangalore influencers are: Divya Ramesh Poopana, Vikrant Yadav, Navmita Jyoti, Apeksha, Vishal, Vasco da gama, Nitin Hajela, Leepsa Gouda, Abhishek Rattu, Gourav Mahendra, Nameesh N Rajamane, Varsha Prajwal, Fida, Namita Gupt, Within no time, posts, stories, and reels depicting the event went viral to the entire world, giving their followers a social impact that transcended the physical infrastructure of the restaurant. “A Feast of Words & Wonders” was not limited to food but included culture, innovation and unity as well. Overwhelmed with Sufi culture similar to the idea of neo-culinary movement, it offered theStyle.world and Boche & Shakesbierre some romantic yet something new, some homely yet something faraway. By afternoon, as the entire program was nearing its climax, guests started leaving the place, cherishing the beautiful moments and good food they tasted in their mouth and the good feeling that they were part of something really good.  Of tradition and innovation, it was more than an occasion; it was a declaration of the power that emerged and remained imprinted in the memory of the guests. Boche & Shakesbierre and theStyle.world, in a city of many cultures and ideas on the move like Bengaluru, “A Feast of Words & Wonders, was an absolute success to come together and arrange for a good meal with cultural elegance and culinary creations.

Exploring the Culinary Delight: Sasuma Ki Mashoor Kachodi

Unravelling the Charms of Sasuma Ki Mashoor Kachodi Sasuma Ki mashoor Kachodi: In the bustling streets of JP Nagar, Bangalore, amidst the chaotic charm of the city, lies a hidden culinary gem that has been tantalizing taste buds and winning hearts for years – Sasuma Ki Mashoor Kachodi. This quaint eatery, nestled in the heart of the neighbourhood, has earned a stellar reputation for its delectable snacks, particularly its iconic kachodis, which have become a staple for food enthusiasts and locals alike. A Glimpse Into History: Sasuma ki Mashoor Kachodi is a brand built on love, family, and delicious food. Founded by Deeksha, an architect who discovered her passion for food after marrying into a family where “they don’t eat to live, but rather live to eat!” The renowned kachodi recipe that her mother-in-law (Sasuma) has been making for three generations served as a major source of inspiration for Deeksha. Witnessing the love and effort poured into making these kachodis for every family gathering, Deeksha knew she had to share them with the world. The overwhelming response from initial sales fueled her desire to not only bring these delectable treats to a wider audience, but also honor the legacy of the women who selflessly cook to nourish hearts and souls. Launched in October 2022, Sasuma ki Mashoor Kachodi uses its signature kachodis, along with other delicious home-style recipes, to celebrate the power of women and unite India through their shared love for food. With a successful first outlet opening in J.P. Nagar in June 2023, Sasuma ki Mashoor Kachodi looks to be everywhere and for everybody.     The Essence of Sasuma Ki Mashoor Kachodi: What sets Sasuma Ki Mashoor Kachodi apart from the myriad of eateries in the vicinity is its unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity. Each kachodi is lovingly handcrafted using time-honored recipes passed down through generations, ensuring that every bite is a symphony of flavors and textures. The secret blend of spices, meticulously sourced ingredients, and expert culinary craftsmanship come together to create a gastronomic experience that is nothing short of extraordinary.     A Culinary Journey: Sasuma Ki Mashoor Kachodi goes beyond just serving food; they offer an experience steeped in tradition and love. Their core mission is to celebrate the magic women weave in kitchens across India. They adapted traditional recipes in a delectable way, giving each bite a taste of home, drawing inspiration from previous generations of home cooks. Their passion is to unite people through their love for food, believing that a shared plate can bridge any divide. With the dream of being a household name, Sasuma Ki Mashoor Kachodi strives to bring its heartwarming flavours to everyone, everywhere. Highlight of The Journey: Chaati Fries: “Chaati Fries” likely refers to a fusion dish that incorporates elements of both chaat and fries. This could involve topping French fries with traditional chaat ingredients such as chutneys, yoghurt, spices, and possibly even additional toppings like chopped vegetables, onions, and cilantro. The result is a flavorful and satisfying snack that combines the best of both worlds: the crispy texture of fries with the bold flavours of chaat.     Beyond Kachodis: While the kachodis are undoubtedly the star attraction, Sasuma Ki Mashoor Kachodi offers much more than just savoury snacks. From crispy samosas to soulful vada pav the menu is a testament to the culinary prowess of the chefs, who infuse every dish with passion and creativity. Whether you’re in the mood for something spicy and savoury or sweet and satisfying, there’s something to please every palate at this gastronomic haven.   A Culinary Oasis In The City: In a city teeming with eateries vying for attention, Sasuma Ki Mashoor Kachodi stands out as a beacon of culinary excellence and tradition. Its unassuming facade belies the culinary treasures that lie within, waiting to be discovered and savoured by discerning food lovers. Whether you’re a longtime patron or a first-time visitor, a visit to this restaurant is sure to leave an indelible mark on your taste buds and your heart.   Let us take a look at a few more delectable kachodis and much more on their menu:   Mashoor Aloo Ki Kachodi ( Jain Style) Sasuma Ki Mashoor Kachodi offers a delectable Jain twist on the classic Aloo Kachodi. Their recipe, passed down for generations, features a spiced potato filling that caters to Jain dietary restrictions. This means it will be free of ingredients like onions, garlic. Expect a flavorful and unique take on this beloved Indian snack, perfect for those seeking a delicious and Jain-friendly treat. Sattu ki Kachodi ( Wheat Based) Sasuma Ki Mashoor Kachodi takes a healthy twist with their Sattu ki Kachodi. Made with a wheat base and a savory filling, this option is both nutritious and flavorful. Sattu is a protein-rich ingredient, making this kachodi a perfect snack for those seeking a more wholesome option. Enjoy the unique texture and taste of sattu, all wrapped in Sasuma’s signature flaky wheat shell. Train Wali Kachodi (Wheat Based Aloo ki Kachodi) Sasuma Ki Mashoor Kachodi takes you on a delightful trip down memory lane with their Train Wali Kachodi. This wheat-based delight, filled with a savoury potato mix, is a delicious homage to the iconic train travel snacks of our childhood. Each bite evokes a sense of nostalgia, a reminder of those long journeys filled with anticipation and the joy of discovering new flavours. Close your eyes and take a bite, and you might just be whisked back to a time of window seats, chugging engines, and the irresistible aroma of hot, crispy kachodis filling from the train compartment. Onion Patty Samosa  While Sasuma Ki Mashoor Kachodi specialises in their family’s legendary kachodi recipe, they might also offer a tempting Onion Patty Samosa. This crispy delight features a flaky exterior filled with a savory and fragrant onion masala. Imagine thin-sliced onions caramelized to perfection, seasoned with aromatic spices, all encased in a golden, shatteringly crisp shell. It’s a perfect grab-and-go snack or a side

The rugged cutlery and dinner plates with burnt edges were made absolutely with natural ingredients. Won’t believe me? Have a look at this. Dal Ki Chaat: Dal ki chaat is a delightful Indian street food delicacy that tantalizes the taste buds with its burst of flavours and textures. The toppings for besan-gehun crisps with some daal include chopped onions, tomatoes, green chutney, saunth, chilies, garlic nibs, lemon juice, and garlic oil.

Gosht Chilli Murgh Tikka: Gosht Chilli Murgh Tikka is a tantalizing fusion dish that combines the succulence of gosht. Sigdi grilled chicken tikka marinated with bhoot jolokia, served with some smoked carrot-coconut puree and carrot-pumpkin seed salad on the side. Tender pieces of chicken are marinated in a rich blend of yoghurt, spices, and herbs, infusing them with a depth of flavor that is both robust and aromatic. The marinated meat is then grilled or roasted to perfection, imparting a smoky char and locking in the juices for maximum tenderness. Timbri Jhinga: “Timbri Jhinga” is a dish that might be a regional or local specialty, and without specific context, it’s challenging to provide a detailed description. However, “Jhinga” typically refers to prawns or shrimp in Indian cuisine. “Timbri” could be a regional or local name or a specific preparation style. Timbri marinated prawns grilled on sigdi, then smoked, served along with pea shoot salad and bhang jeera chutney on the side. Kathal Baigan Bharta: To prepare this dish, the jackfruit and eggplant are typically roasted or grilled until they’re soft and charred on the outside. Then, the skin is removed, and the flesh is mashed or finely chopped. A blend of fried kathal and roasted baigan, tossed in some chef’s special spices, garnished with baigan chips, fried kathal strands, and finished with apple wood smoke. Peppay Waale Aloo “Peppay Wale Aloo” is a dish that likely features potatoes (aloo) cooked with “peppay,” which could refer to a specific type of pepper or chili. Since Amritsar is famous for the varieties of anchaar, we have used pickling spices in peppay wale aloo and prepared it authentically in peppa. Baby potatoes with crushed wadi spiced with achaari masala and prepared authentically in peppa, garnished with microgreens and achari mirchi.   Kangra Khodiya Gosht: Inspired by “Khatta Meat,” which is a delicacy in Himachal Pradesh where meat is cooked in tomato-yoghurt gravy. Khatta meat inspired pahadi mutton curry infused with walnut ink garnished with fried red chilli and roasted walnut, a specialty from Kangda. Steamed rice or typical Himachali breads like Siddu or Chana Madra are most likely served with Kangra Khodiya Gosht. It’s a dish that showcases the culinary heritage of the Kangra region, offering a taste of the mountains with every savoury bite. Taj Loya’s Kaala Moti Gucchi Pulao: To prepare Kaala Moti Gucci Pulao, fragrant basmati rice is typically cooked with a variety of aromatic spices such as cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and bay leaves.
