Protein Mix (Satua)

Protein Mix (Satua)

This Protein Mix has been devised with health and nutrition for the body in mind especially in the form of protein. The nutritional value of a protein food can be judged by its ability to provide both the quantity and number of essential amino acids needed by the body. Different food sources contain different groups of proteins, which are made up of different arrangements and amounts of amino acids. Proteins may be deficient in one or other of the essential amino acids. For example, the proteins obtained from wheat lack adequate quantities of one essential amino acid, and those from beans are deficient in another.


Hence, our Protein Mix is a combination of five different protein types that can be consumed by the body daily in different forms. They come in two different packages, with cardamom and without. The choice is yours.


I prefer to consume mine mixed with the aata while kneading the dough for my rotis. Others prefer to mix a tbsp or so in their morning porridge or just roast it in and have it with milk and some honey. Again, the choice is yours.


Don't miss out on this one. It's a superb product!!

Kinema Pickle

Kinema Pickle

There's nothing that can make one salivate (at least me) than the ever ubiquitous kinema (fermented soya bean) of Darjeeling and the Hills. I like it in all forms; dried, curried, in soups, fried rice the list being endless. Having also come across other Kinema lovers like me, I especially concocted this recipe in pickle form for those who would want its unique flavour with just about anything they eat...yes, there are people like that!!
All products are available at Nimto and Life&Leaf in Darjeeling.

Rukh Tamatar & Garlic Pickle

Rukh Tamatar & Garlic Pickle

Here's a new addition to our range of pickled knick knacks. The Rukh Tamatar is a sour mixture stuffed with authentic Nepalese pickle masala, tangy to the taste buds mouth wateringly. The Garlic pickle is also recipe'd the Nepali way, the gorgeous garlic aroma being an added element leding it a sweet flavour almost, just almost.
