WHY Food trucks are ideal for Indian culture and why Indians got to inspire from Unites states in this case ?

FOOD TRUCKS
Are Dream of every food loving person who dreams food , sees food and always wants Food to remain his\her's best friend forever. Food Trucks may not have that fancy spot to serve from but they are surely Mankind's creative most creation, for it's not only Food on wheels but also creative hot spots for every WANNA Be Chef , home maker who ought to make something different and off course delicious food  . From their Interior to exterior designs every single food truck round the world posses a uniqueness and masterpiece sought art.
                   
Eastern world is still not that influenced by the idea of food trucks may be because of various Misconceptions and stereotypes. Like:-                                                                                   
  1. Many people in these countries think that eating on roadside is something for those people who can't afford good food and costly food that is served in restaurants. Hence for them it's a sought of disgrace.
  2. Some people think that  what roadside food trucks has to offer is all dirty and low quality food without even seeing or trying them (insane).
 3.   In some communities and also religiously food trucks and eating roadside food cooked by someone else is forbidden.
                                 But Now since world is changing and there is a lot change in our thinking the idea of food trucks is striking many creative minds in our states too but the deal comes how to give it a kick start and make it wildly rocking all over. And well here comes the five key points why we should take inspiration from United States to bring on the food truck revolution here in India as well .  
  • It's always not about a group start. I recommend you to see Eat street daily telecast ed On Fox Life Channel where young entrepreneurs and many share their stories of how they started with their very own food truck and whether what inspired them to open one , also you will get the idea of to start  a business along with sumptuous deals

  • Choose those dishes which may not be that fancy but real comfort food and sumptuously loaded with such stuffs which every Foodie tongue ever Craves for . For eg, cheese, potatoes, ketchup etc.             
                                                                                           
  •  Once done with The menu its very Much important especially In Countries like India that the maintenance of the food trucks should be on Daily HOUR basis not even day basis !! Why I  say this is because its hour to hour that your customers increase or decrease , like for eg. In      basically afternoon time round 1 pm when all offices and other organisations have their lunch or as in we say recess time that time your customary counts often increases then compared to  early morning or late night or according to what u serve on what time, HENCE its really very much important for the maintenance as well as cleanliness in and outside your food truck  in order to  attract a lot more crowd.
  • Make good relationships with your customers is yet very important but often may be neglected in India as sometimes in order to serve your order so true and fast the food truck staff may or may not include
     good communications between them and their customers that can be drastically bad thus. For good and repeated customary demands with GOOD FOOD,  talk to your customers with GOOD MOOD.
  •   Try specializing in one or two dishes so that you can be know as Their KINGS OR     QUEENS of that Particular dish or dishes in the locality around in initial stages and then you can think of growing your franchise too.
                                                                                                                                                                 Hope so that these tips would surely workout if you have determined mindset to open your very own food truck that to In India.                                                                                                                    Here are some dishes Idea that you can serve your customers according to Indian taste buds which always craves for something meaningful and tasty .                                                                          
  1. Sesame fried cakes with Dollop of Vanilla ice cream and swirls of chocolate sauce  !! You can even toss them In Homemade caramel sauce 
  2. Paneer ( cottage cheese ) Tacos with Indian spices hinted Coleslaw                                                            
  3. Poutine ( French Fries topped with Gravy and cheese Curds ) with Indian Butter Chicken Gravy and Cheese Curds 
  4. French Crepes with Sri Lankan Sambhal Mixed Potatoes 
                                                  French Crepes                                                                                                                                
           Redang Curry Based Sri Lankan Sambhal 
So Hope you Try onto these dishes and Give a Thought Of opening Your very own food truck soon ;)

Food Unites Us




                                                     (Image source - Google images )

As a Indian I always Have this feeling That It's the food we cook which is more into making up our bonds more stronger these days. As Mentioned before in one of my blog today's man crave for well cooked or as in Slow, juicy, wholesome and well cooked Meals. In This case whenever Time we people never hesitate to have Long Brunches , spicy Dinners and drinks and thus it becomes a Reason For us all To forget all our issues ,  our tensions and UNITE merrily.

( File source - Giphy.com
FOOD Not Only Gives Home Makers a Chance to Present Their Home making  Talents  In the food they present and the way They set and decorate house and table but also helps them to step out from they daily world they live in Just Cooking For needs with No appreciation at all , they get to talk and Cherish people and impressing desires. After all Unity stands for all.

                                                           ( Image source - Google Images)
Food makes Us feel the feeling Of oneness it brings us More closer , for what we eat can be other's favorite too.

  1. BRIYANI is always Ideal dishes for and in every Indian Home for treating both both taste Buds and your guests Like kings and queens BUT  for a Change Much Like Briyani TRY making JAMAICAN JAMBALYA .

Served with White rice , orange slices , Chinese broccoli and Dusted with a Cassava Based preparation  Called Farofa. ( Brazil's National Dish)
  3. For snacking Try something new Not Like samosas , Manchurian etc etc.  Try steamed Mantu's Or dumplings from Pakistan region .
