5 foods to avoid in monsoon for your health’s sake

 

1. Leafy vegetables

The temperature and humidity of the monsoon season are conducive to bacterial and fungal growth, especially on green leafy vegetables. This can lead to stomach infections. Spinach, fenugreek leaves, cabbage, cauliflower, etc are not vegetables that you should eat during the monsoon. Instead, go for pungent vegetables like bitter gourd, ghiya, tori, and tinda.

2. Seafood

You must avoid seafoods like fish and prawns during the monsoon. Wonder why? Well, there are two main reasons. First, the presence of pathogens and bacteria in the water during the rainy season may infect the fish, and thereby the person consuming it. Secondly, this breeding season causes several changes to occur in seafood which can cause harm.

3. Spicy and fried foods

While it is perfectly fine to indulge in fried foods like kachoris, pakoras, and samosas once in a while, you should take care of the portion you eat because excess consumption can upset your stomach in several ways, causing indigestion, diarrhea, and other issues. So, restrict yourself from excessive eating those fried foods.

4. Fizzy drinks

Humidity and sweating tend to dehydrate you. So drink plenty of water to stay hydrated but avoid fizzy drinks because they can weaken your digestive system and can reduce the minerals in your body. You can also have hydrating drinks like nimbu pani and jaljeera.

5. Mushroom

Mushrooms grow in damp soil and can have bacterial growth which increases the risk of infection once consumed, especially during the monsoon season. So it is better to say no to mushrooms in the monsoon!

Chicken Rajpipla – A Unique Royal Indian Recipe

Image
  Chicken Rajpipla is a unique recipe that comes from Rajpipla, a small town on the banks of the Narmada river in Gujarat. Very close to the Statue of Unity. Rajpipla was a 13 Gun Salute princely state from the 14th century to when it was integrated with the Indian republic in 1948. In the modern era, Rajpipla came into focus with the ascension of Maharaja Vijaysinhji ChhatraSinhji Sahib to the throne in 1915. He was a charming and suave ruler, also known for his great administration. He was a fond equestrian and well known for his love for horses, food, and the good life. His horses won the Indian Derby, the Irish Derby, and the Belgian Grand Prix. But his shining moment was winning the prestigious Epsom Derby in England in 1934 with his horse Windsor Lad. Maharaja Vijaysinhji was also fond of cooking and his most popular recipe was the Chicken Rajpipla. I’d first come across this recipe when I was interacting with Nilufer Dhondy, a fabulous cook who specialises in Parsi food. Though

 What Is Food Blogging & Career As A Food Blogger T his might seem like a silly thing to write about, considering we are the world’s only food blogging platform, but here is why we decided people needed to know about this. Sometime back when we had published an article in the magazine about what it takes to be a successful food blogger, we had a flurry of emails asking what food blogging is really about. While most food bloggers may know what food blogging is about, does the world know what food blogging is? Honestly even I am confused at times, is it a journal about the food I’m cooking, the stuff I’m eating, restaurants I’m visiting? Or is it a license to gawk at bowls, plates and cups, thinking of props and stopping at random places to look at discarded pieces of wood that can be used as a rustic background for your images? I say this, because I have done all this and more. So let’s start with what can be construed as food blogging: The Cooking and Posting Bloggers:  These are t
