All About Gizmos and Tech.: Bloggers Meet at Sattvam Restaurant

Sattvic diet, according to Yoga and Ayurveda, consist of foods which are strong in sattva guna. Sattva means purity and is made of three gunas - pure, excitable and indifferent. A food is called sattvic when it is uncontaminated , clean,healthy and nutritious. One of the main considerations of Sattvic food is that it is consumed the same day as it is cooked. Overnight food loses its vital elements and micro-organisms grow on it. Food that are neither positive or negative are rajasic and rajasic food is the theme of sattvic food.

Keshar Shikanji

We had a wonderful time at Sattvm which is the only commercial Sattvic food restaurant in Bangalore. Arvind Chowdhary, together with Aditya Fatepuria started this restaurant in SadashivNagar on Sankey road and I must say this experience is not to be missed.

Brocolli Apple Shorba

Keshar Shikanji was the welcome drink. It was served at room temperature. The shikanji soothes the mind and is refreshing. Saffron essence is pleasing.

Next on the menu was Brocolli Apple Shorba. This soup took me by surprise. It was a little on the sweeter side but had all essentials of the soup covered. Kids as young as 8 months tasted it and wanted more of it. I was so attracted towards the taste, that I tried one more serving of the Shorba.

Haribari Paneer Taktaki, Paneer Anardane ki Tikka, Keshar Badam Tikki, Babycorn aur Nembu Ke patte ki Gilafi

Next on the menu was starters. All of the starters were prepared in ghee. It included Haribari Paneer Taktaki, Paneer Anardane ki Tikka, Keshar Badam Tikki, Babycorn aur Nembu Ke patte ki Gilafi and Tabla aloo. I could not make out the difference between the starters in normal cuisine and sattvam cuisine, as they taste the same. The chef at sattvam had done a wonderful job and we could not believe that it did not contain any onion or garlic.

Main Course had a variety of dishes all with unique taste. We were served with Dal Makhani, Amritras Ke Kofte, Aloo Kamrakh Peeli Mirch, Chote Samose Ki Sabzi, Swar Patta Panchapuran and Paneer Pyaripatti. The Indian bread with the curries was something special. It was Tulsi based roti. With the right amount of tulsi this had an unique taste.
