Most of the times I like to order Mutton and chicken from Fresh to Home but this time we tried ordering some fish.
September is here and we were craving for some fresh and safe fish. Usually, buying fish is somewhat tricky especially for people like me who do not have much knowledge of buying fish, How and what to check and all!!
I searched on the Fresh To Home app and saw some fillets of Tilapia, Cobia, Queen fish and Sail fish. Finally ordered some Tilapia fish fillets.
(There are many types of boneless/ single boned fishes available in the market but we prefer fishes with scales and hence I chose Tilapia)
Take a look at some interesting non vegetarian recipes here and here.
Let’s start the review.
Their Claim:
Juicy Indian Tilapia Boneless Fillet – 250g+ Pack (Freshly Frozen)
Tilapia is a fish with such a rich history that the Egyptians considered it as a symbol of rebirth and all mummies used to be packed with the Tilapia symbol. In modern times, its taste is so rich that a couple of re-births are worth the Tilapia. The Fillet is wild caught, chemical free and freshly frozen.
My first question was: Is Tilapia safe to consume? I had read a lot about how it is farmed and it is not safe but when I read this line “The Fillet is wild-caught, chemical-free and freshly frozen” I was satisfied.
Price: ₹299.00 /pack for 250 gms Packaging: 3 pieces of fresh fillets of Tilapia fish were packed in a clear plastic packaging.
Shelf life: The package did not have any sticker with the information. On asking the customer care team, they said they were having some problem with their sticker machine. I intended to make the fish fillets that same day so I didn’t really mind about the storage information.
I marinated the fish fillets with lemon juice, ginger garlic paste, turmeric, salt, chili powder and some packaged fish fry masala. After marinating for an hour, I coated the fish fillets in a mix of rawa and rice flour and fried it on the tawa with some oil.
Result: The fish fillets did not have any fishy smell, I was pleasantly surprised. Also, because these were fillets, it did not have any bones which is a huge plus point for us.
Overall SR Rating: 4.5/5 Taste: 5/5 Smell: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Ease of Use: 5/5 Packaging: 4/5 (1 point less for not providing the relevant information)
Will I repurchase: Definitely Availability: Available on app and website

My search for a good non-dairy whipping cream finally ended on Creambell Whipping cream
Now even I can make those “bakery style” cakes at home.
The dairy cream that is commonly available in India does not become stiff enough to pipe on cakes. It needs a stabilizer and is honestly a hassle to make.
After trying 3-4 times, I gave up making a whipped cream from Dairy.

I got to know about this brand from a local Facebook group named Pune Eat Outs. Loved their story and immediately wanted to taste their products and ordered. (Read the very interesting story here)
We tasted the Jams or should I say “Fruit spreads” from Tasha & girl first in 2017 and it was love at first taste😜😜
The fact that it is a local brand from Pune is one more reason to like it more.
Strawberries and Lavender Jam
Their claim:
No artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives.
No synthetic gelling agents or acids.
No stabilizers, thickeners, anti-oxidants, or emulsifiers.
Unsulfated cane sugar only.
Nothing our 4-year-old cannot eat in the raw form.

As soon as the baby finishes coloring all the 4 pages, the first page becomes dry and is ready to color again, Zo loves this activity book.
I got 2 different books, one is animal themed and one has fairies.
Sometimes she will just take a wet wipe and rub it on the page and the colours come alive. The pages have find-the-objects kind of games too.
Very nice to gift also.
Price: starts from 350
Available on amazon and flipkart.
Pros:
Very good for engaging kids during traveling
Mess free activity
So many options of scenes and themes to choose
Very good book to gift
Cons:
Younger toddlers like zo don’t have a proper grip or technique so they put a lot of pressure which makes the brush tip flat after sometime making it difficult to colour.
Can’t put the brush with water filled in it in the storage space provided as on getting wet the adhesive of the storage compartment comes out.
