Have healthy rotis during this Bandra cafe
- Updated: September 29, 2017
Remember lunchtime during school? Curiosity reigned autarchic over a feathery and soft, mum-made roti, chapatti or phulka. How a Gujarati crony had patli roti or us North Indians, had thick and outrageous phulkas. How in a heat, they would be light and thicken in a winter as bajra or corn would peppers it grey or yellow.

Cafe@JIWA, a roti-concept café in Bandra, aims to re-introduce healthy eating to all mindsets and age groups, pleasantness a 13 varieties of atta with intriguing monikers — Youth Focus, Blood Pressure Care, Women’s Best, Diabetic, Slimming and so on. Transforming granny’s knowledge of removing your possess grains grinded, of blending them with chickpeas, soya and whatnot — these flours enclose committed combinations for any need. Cafe@JIWA encourages one to collect these up, and hence extends into a judgment of a café. Our moan starts with usually that.
The Platter contains 3 kinds of rotis, Paneer Shazlik and Bhindi with Tandoori Aloo. It lacked ambience yet can be fulfilling as a meal. Pic/Rane Ashish
Third-time lucky, it was usually after array of night visits and a Monday of shuttered doors, we walked into a store past noon to collect adult a lunch. Even during noon, a kitchen took a contemptible time to broach 3 rotis, dual unfeeling preparations and a roti wrap. Forty mins later, and too late for work, we picked adult a takeaway. The platter (R175) contained Paneer Shazlik, Exotic Veggies in Balsamic and 3 kinds of rotis — Nutra Multigrain Roti, Slimming Roti and Women’s Best Roti.
Exotic Veggies were cold given morning, so Tandoori Bhindi Aloo was suggested as an alternative. We also asked for a Roti Wrap (Rs 95) — Nutra Bajiri Roti, Butter Beans and Feta with Mexican Salsa and Nutty Peanut sauces. To kick a heat, we joined this with a Lemongrass and Jasmine Cooler (R75) that a server accepted as dual apart drinks.
Interiors of a cafe
The atta for any roti was kneaded alone in an electric appurtenance in front of us. We do feel that in box of an open kitchen, a restaurateur should be assured adequate of a kitchen’s functioning. As any mix took time, and a tawa was exhilarated sluggishly after all had concluded, a honour for a mother’s cooking had grown multifold.
Thankfully, a rotis did get puffed and were round, a satisfaction to a sleepy eyes.
The cooler done for a lovely and softly honeyed drink. The paneer was seasoned usually with salt and turmeric, with a few flakes of chilli for a consequence of appearance. The bhindi baked with baby potatoes had a identical story to tell. The wrap, on a other hand, was rewarding to a tastebuds yet a Bajiri Roti had been substituted with a platter’s rotis. The kidney beans, feta, cherry tomatoes and cabbage worked good yet a salsas could have been some-more plentiful. The café, yet not in a bad vein, needs most some-more than roti to have health freaks thronging.
