Debunking Common Myths About Pet Care

Debunking Common Myths About Pet Care

  Misconceptions about pet care are prevalent and can have negative consequences on our furry friends. From feeding habits to grooming routines, pet owners may unknowingly believe in certain myths that could harm their pets’ health and well-being. In this article, we will explore some common misconceptions about pet care and shed some light on the truth behind them. By debunking these myths, we hope to help pet owners provide the best possible care for their beloved companions: All Dogs Need A Lot Of Exercise While it is true that many dogs require regular exercise to stay healthy, the amount and type of exercise required can vary depending on the breed and age of the dog. For example, a smaller or older dog may not need as much exercise as a larger or younger dog. It’s important to consult your veterinarian to determine the appropriate amount and type of exercise for your dog’s needs. Over-exercising your dog can lead to fatigue, joint pain, and other health issues. Cats Can Survive On Their Own While cats are known for their independence, domestic cats are not equipped to survive on their own outdoors. Outdoor cats are at risk for injury, illness, and predation from other animals. In addition, indoor cats still require proper care, including regular feeding, grooming, and veterinary check-ups. Indoor cats can still be at risk for health problems such as obesity, dental disease, and urinary tract issues. All Pet Food Is Created Equal  Not all pet foods are created equal and it’s important to choose a high-quality food that meets your pet’s specific nutritional needs. Cheap, low-quality pet food can be filled with fillers, preservatives, and additives that can harm your pet’s health. High-quality pet foods typically contain a higher percentage of meat, as well as essential vitamins and minerals. It’s important to read labels and consult your veterinarian to determine the best food for your pet. Indoor Pets Don’t Need Preventative Care While indoor pets may be less likely to be exposed to certain diseases and parasites, they can still be at risk for health issues such as obesity, dental disease, and urinary tract issues. Regular veterinary check-ups, vaccinations, and preventative care measures such as flea and tick control are still important for the health and well-being of indoor pets. In addition, certain indoor pets such as birds and reptiles can be susceptible to environmental toxins and other hazards in the home, making regular veterinary check-ups even more important.

Alpine delicacies from the Swiss Alps

As we face restrictions on global travel, Switzerland encourages people to ‘Dream Now Travel Later’, assuring the world that the beautiful country will pause time and stay the way it is to be ready to welcome visitors when the world opens up. Till then, it is a good idea to travel through your kitchens and experiment with dishes that are symbolic to Switzerland and experience the cuisine from one of the most loved destinations. Here are some top easy-to-make recipes with ingredients available in your kitchen. ‘Alpine Macaroni’or known to the Swiss as Älplermagrone, is the ultimate comfort food one can find on the slopes of the famous Alps. This alpine dish is found everywhere on restaurant menus from Appenzell to Zermatt, through Lugano and St. Moritz. https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-in/experiences/food-wine/recipe/alpine-pasta/ Has this quarantine been too tough on you? Then indulge in some ‘Cheese Fondue’for a generous dose of creamy pot of cheese with the pieces of bread just like the Swiss do. Switzerland is known for its best fondues, however there are many different styles and versions. One of the best variations is the Fribourg one, the moitié-moitié, made from spicy Gruyères and softly melting Vacherin cheeses.   Looking for a Saturday night cheat meal? Then melt up the cheese and serve it with vegetables, lavash, croutons and potato wedges, this gives an interesting twist to your fondue palette while you binge watch on your favourite shows. https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-in/experiences/food-wine/recipe/fondue/ ‘Rosti’or also known as “Röstigraben” (Rösti ditch), originally a farmers’ breakfast from German-speaking Switzerland, is now a Swiss national dish with each region having its own version. The Bernese, for example, are known for their crispy Rösti fried in butter. This classic comfort food is surprisingly easy to make, with some tricks along the way, and it turns potatoes into a main meal. The recipe can be summarized in five words: grate potatoes sautéed in butter. The resulting dish is a pancake of potato, crispy brown on the outside, gooey, buttery, potato-licious inside. This is a dish that is very easy to create in your kitchens for a lazy Sunday brunch. https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-in/experiences/food-wine/recipe/recipe-for-roesti/ Meringue, a sweet kiss with egg whites is a sugary pastry invented around the year 1600. Since the delicate and airy pastry made from egg whites and the thick battered Gruyères cream complement each other so well, one easily understands why Meringue is a favourite dessert in the land of Fribourg. You can enjoy your meringue in two ways – one can be slowly baked, transforming into crisp cookies or as dessert on top of cake’s layers. It is a good start to your love for baking delicious desserts. https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-in/experiences/food-wine/recipe/meringues/ So, bring out the foodie in you and experience the taste of this magical destination by trying out some of the famous dishes.

Simple Recipe for Tawa Pulao

Simple Recipe for Tawa Pulao

We Indians are masters at the art of cleverly turning leftovers into delicious meals, and this is very evident in the dish created by the industrious stall owners of Khau Galli (a very popular street/by lane that houses food stalls in downtown Mumbai) called Tawa Pulao. The base of the dish is the bhaji, or the gravy part of an immensely popular anytime snack, Pav Bhaji. There are many stories as to the origins of this dish and the most plausible story to me is that it was created for mill workers. The cotton mills in central Bombay used to work 24 hours a day and worked in multiple shifts, the night shift used to break very early in the morning and needed a little something to quench their appetites, here was born the Pav Bhaji. Pav Bread was very easy to procure and store. The Bhaji consisted of leftover vegetables smashed together with rehydrated green peas, a healthy amount of spices thrown in and finally sprinkled with the classic salted Amul butter to enhance all flavours. Now taking this delicious dish a bit further and as an alternative, the Bhaji is mixed with leftover rice, which acquired a posh version when steamed basmati rice was used. Tossed along with the Bhaji and aromatics like coriander and mint leaves, crunchy diced onions and green capsicum along with copious amounts of salted butter on a very hot tawa or cast iron griddle, the Tawa Pulao was created. I particularly love this dish, not just because it unites two very obvious Indian loves of something chatpata and soothing rice, but because there is no “authentic” recipe! Just toss whatever leftover vegetables you have on hand, add a good amount of butter and the star, which is Pav Bhaji masala. I sort of fake my way through this dish every time, since there is no “strict” recipe – just a method and a single masala (you can use whichever garam masala you have on hand), this dish can turn leftover vegetables into something spectacular, go ahead and give it your twist. Recipe for Tawa Pulao Ingredients 3 cups cooked rice (basmati if possible) 2 cups par boiled, finely chopped vegetables of your choice (cauliflower, peas, potatoes, green capsicum, french beans, carrot, cabbage, sweet corn) 1 cup finely chopped tomatoes OR 1/2 cup tomato purée 1/2 cup finely chopped onions 3-4 tbsp salted butter 1 1/2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste 3-4 tsp pav bhaji masala 2 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder 2 tsp cumin seeds Salt to taste Coriander leaves, lime wedge, salted butter and finely chopped onion for garnish. Method Heat a wide skillet/tawa or a wok, add the butter, cumin seeds and let it sputter. The rest of the dish is cooked on a high flame. Add the ginger-garlic paste, onions and let it cook for a minute or two. Add the tomatoes and Pav Bhaji masala and Kashmiri red chilli powder. Cook until the tomatoes turn pulpy. Toss in the vegetables, and cook until the vegetables are coated, constantly mixing to prevent the them from burning. Add the rice and toss everything until well mixed. Add the coriander leaves, extra butter, toss again. Serve warm with chopped onion and lime wedges. – By Rupa Balachandar, A designer by profession, a home chef by love and a gemstone lover by passion, Rupa is a food and lifestyle writer who happens to be a vegetarian and loves to cook vegan and vegetarian versions of international cuisines for her family and friends.
