The Other Side - By Saffola Masala Oats

Right when my boredom clock started clicking, I got a call, invite and a cab…and yayyyy I was at the Saffola Masala Oats – The Other Side.

The Invite

An event that people realize - healthy CAN be tasty. Not that I had doubts (being an ardent oats lover) but a double check never kills anyone!

So for starters- the venue looked nice and the people were good. I instantly connected with a few peeps which was a good start. One nice lady sitting next to me offered me some Nachos and dip. Though I acknowledge her sweetness, I did not like the nachos served there so much. Nonetheless, the drinks were nice but somehow I missed on having the Almond Oats shake – which I heard was very nice.

The event kick started and VIKAS KHANNA arrived *blush blush*

He looked as amazing as ever and chit chatted with the audience to engage with everyone and I must say , he did a damn good job. I am a Punjabi myself hence connected with every pun he intended :P

I was lucky to get a chance to participate in the cooking contest organized. (the question I was asked – how many times a pineapple grows on one tree in one season? Answer- ONE) I almost screamed the answer and did not even wait for the mic to arrive for I in no case could have missed the chance *evil grin*. Nonetheless, I had a time of my life when I stood there at the “masterchef-type’ setup. We were given 20 mins to cook something innovative out of the ingredients available. (I shall post the receipe soon and also a few

innovative receipes one can cook from saffola masala oats)

The Set Up

After this a similar contest was organized and this time those 6 people had to cook something from saffola masala oats. Overall it went well, while I could not decipher why the first contest contestants could NOT use those oats. Anyway oats pizza was the highlight of contest number 2. Later all the 12 participants were given a chopping board signed by VK.

All this ended and we proceeded towards food counters. Food was good. Menu had an oatilicilous surprise – litchi jelly with oats custard which was pretty decent.

We were given a oats goodie basket and a book by Vikas Khanna. All in all it was a well executed event post which I believe a little more that healthy CAN be tasty as well :)

The Goodies

Stay tuned for some healthy and tasty oats receipes.

Takecare :)

Lovely Event
