  1. MasterChow’s ambassador Ranveer Brar unveils secrets of schezwan chutney

Brar takes the viewers on a time-traveling chopstick ride back to the 1770s when a trader named Tong Atchew sailed into Bengal's shores, presenting Lord Hastings with exquisite Chinese tea. In a generous gesture, Lord Hastings granted him the land which would become known as Achipur. As more Hakka Chinese migrants arrived in Kolkata, they brought with them a rich culinary heritage that mingled with Indian flavours, birthing a new cuisine that is called Indian-Chinese or Asli Chinese.

The video takes a twist as Brar explains the origin of the word “Schezwan.” While it might sound familiar, it doesn’t exist in China. The actual Sichuan province lends its name to a spicy cuisine, but “Schezwan” is a uniquely Indian creation. It reflects the blend of cultures and flavours that has become a staple in Indian street food.

As Brar strolls through the streets of Tangra and Tiretta Bazaar in Kolkata, he notes the fusion of Indian and Chinese influences. 

The celebrity chef also emphasised that one shouldn’t be overly concerned about authenticity when it comes to enjoying food. 

  1. Parle-G has ‘genius’ take on the spirit of Ganpati this Chaturthi

The company revealed that the film is created as a discourse about tradition and gender. It refrains from preaching or instructing the audience. Instead, the audience is drawn in as part of the story. 

The long-format film conceptualised and created by Thought Blurb Communications captures the mood and spirit of the festival. The film has been conceptualised in Marathi, it has been released in 4 more languages. 

The story revolves around the protagonist who is charmed by the hubbub of activity in the house in the days preceding the coming home of Lord Ganesha. While the rest of the household is caught up in the buoyant mood of bringing Ganpati home, we see a little girl ask an innocent question. She is not quite satisfied with the response. This is noticed by the protagonist. In the course of the film, the question is resolutely answered, and the family, including the young girl, walks away happy.
