Talkie – Loaded Nachos

Theatre – @andazcafe

Ticket Price – Rs 269

Box office Rating – 3.7 stars

Review – Nothing goes better on a summer evening, than a plate of fresh, crispy and cheesy Loaded Nachos. This talkie is an oldie but goodie. Combining the talent and flavours of so many actors, with such brilliant balance of spice, tangyness and crunch.

This Loaded Nacho Film is delicious but lacks the Loaded action packed cheese, which is a must in all Nacho films.

However the overall ambience is a visual delight and covers up for all that the talkie lacks.

Stop to watch and devour this beautiful and delicious evening snack this summer.

Talkie – Chilli Cheese Toast

Theatre – @cafecoffeeday

Ticket Price – Rs.114

Box Office Rating – 3 stars

Review – Chilli Cheese Toast Movies are always fun no brainers. Giving you the luxury to just step into the theatre and buy an economically priced ticket to this delicious joy ride. The speciality of a CCD made chilli cheese toast is that the drama by the Hero Chilli is not too Over the Top and the cheesiness of the romance Chilli shares with cheese has been beautifully balanced with the crispy and soft narrative of the Bread. I would recommend divulging in this delicious, gooey and tasty talkie , every single time. It won’t disappoint you and is a guaranteed winner of a dish.

Theatre – Cafe Coffee Day (Since 1996)

Review – A very famous especially for the adventurous and young heart. They said, a lot can happen over coffee and yes, since 1996, there has been a lot brewing in CCD. So many stories, careers, relationships and lives have taken flight in CCD. Be it meetings, chilling sessions or even just enjoying a coffee or two , CCD is the first place that comes to anyone’s mind. They have always been up to date, satisfying the urge to sip something new.

A place where memories are made, I am sure even you have a story that started from CCD.

Enjoying this brand since my childhood, cheers to the team of CCD.

Talkie – Mexican Cauliflower Rice

Theatre – @kitchenchampion_official

Chef – @sonalijnaik (From Gathbandhan)

Review – The beauty about Indian cinema is , that it can surprise you with not only diversity in thoughts but also culture. This tasty Talkie is a Mexican Dish made by two Maharashtrians who play the character of local goons in Mumbai. The spice and tanginess of their culture hits a perfect balance with that of this Mexican delicacy.

Apart from this being a healthy alternative to the commonly found rice Biryani, the Mexican Cauliflower Biryani is light , flavourful and filled with crisp not too spicy veggies.

Try this recipe at home and i guarantee, you will include this recipe in your child’s tiffin box.

Talkie – Scehzwan Brinjal Shashlik

Theatre – Kitchen Champion

Chef – @karantacker and Sasha

Review – As a good blogger, Pratik is a pure vegetarian and I am a hardcore non vegetarian. Due to this situation we have together watched and relished some

Amazing vegetarian Talkies. However this one was truly fresh and innovative. Brinjal has never found its true glory, it has always been a hero that finds praise with a very selective audience. However this Brinjal Shashlik film, looks like a great game changer for Brinjal. The smokey and dark texture of the Brinjal is very well complimented by a fresh pudina yogurt dip. To add to the film, the chef’s were both fun, young and vibrant, giving the Brinjal Shashlik a great connect with the youth. The recipe for this lovely dish is given below, please try making this tasty talkie.

INGREDIENTS

1 large brinjal

1 tbsp. schezwan sauce 

2 tsp soy sauce 

1/2 a lime’s juice

2 tsp grated ginger

2 tsp sesame oil 

1/4 cup coriander (cilantro) finely chopped

2 tsp finely chopped shallot

Ingredients for Yogurt dip

Chopped Mint leaves. 

Yoghurt

Salt, pepper

Eggless mayo for sweetness

METHOD

Place in a big bowl, schezwan sauce, soy sauce, grated ginger, sesame oil, lime juice, chopped coriander and shallots and whisk them together. 

Cut the eggplant into cubes and add it to the schezwanmarinade. 

Toss to combine and leave for 30 minutes to marinade. Meanwhile soak 8 skewers in water. Preheat your tawato a medium low heat. Thread the eggplant onto the skewers and tap to remove excess marinade.Brush the pan with a little oil and grill for 5 to 7 minutes each side. Remove the kebabs from the grill and serve with mint yogurt dip.

Review – This one is super tasty and will have you licking your fingers till the end. The casting of the fierce and handsome Kashmiri Masala enhanced all the action sequences and the purity and innocence of the Valley of Kashmir was beautifully depicted through the delicate and fair and beautiful female lead, Paneer. The movie is threaded together by the Kashmiri Paneer’s father; Dry Fruit Pulao, who brings a lot of depth and texture to the film. Overall the aromas, spice and flavour enhance the beauty and brilliance of this talkie.

Review – Kashmir is India’s little paradise, and the film Kashmiri Phirni does full justice. This one is like a lullaby , you wouldn’t want to leave the theatre till you have relished the last almond served at the bottom of this dish. The chef’s of this film are Kashmiri’s and are the sweetest people, who could have made this dish. They brought in the Mithas of their region and personalities to this dish , which makes it the stellar dish it was. The milk and dry fruits blend together in perfect sync leaving you in a world full of beauty, yummyness and content.
