☀️ Celebrating Summer Solstice with a Burst of Flavor! 🌞​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​As the longest day of the year is here with its warmth and sunshine, what better way to refresh and indulge than with a traditional Indian snack – Khaman! 💛

This vibrant, bright yellow delight is as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the taste buds. Made from chickpea batter, Khaman is steamed to perfection, resulting in a fluffy and moist texture. Each bite is a harmonious blend of tangy, sweet, and spicy flavors, making it the perfect snack for a hot summer day.

Topped with a tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and green chilies, and garnished with fresh coriander and grated coconut, this snack is a true celebration of Gujarati cuisine. 🌿🌶️

Whether you're enjoying it with a cup of tea or serving it at a summer picnic, Khaman is sure to be a hit. So, let's toast to the sun, savor the flavors, and make this summer solstice a memorable one!

Rava Idlis are BACK. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Hello, Thindi Pothas — it's been a long while since you all have been asking to bring these spongy delights back to the menu. We heard you.

Made with a roasted semolina batter which is flavoured with a tadka of fresh curry leaves, urad daal, tangy yogurt, and a few secret ingredients... Served with a house-made coconut chutney 💛💛💛

Note: these are made fresh at the cafe, in small batches. We sometimes run out ! So, limited quantities only. We will do our best to keep it in stock through the week 🙏

Celebrating International Women's Day with an extra dose of inspiration! 🌸✨ Meet Anuja, the powerhouse behind Thindi Cafe and the newest addition to the club. Juggling the hustle of running a cafe with the joys of motherhood, she's a true embodiment of strength, passion, and resilience. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Today, we raise our cups to her – the visionary, the entrepreneur, the loving mom. Here's to breaking barriers, creating delicious moments, and proving that women can do it all. Cheers to all fellow Women owners and operators, and to all the incredible women making waves! 💪👩‍🍳👶

A hug in a bowl. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We love to see that there are so many new snack bars / cafes / and Indian eateries that have popped up serving Maggi Noodles. We're proud to have set this trend in GTA.

The inspiration to serve Maggi with a twist struck when our founder, Anuja was roaming the streets of Mumbai a few years ago. Street-side carts serve up upto 20 varieties of Maggi magic. The idea was to elevate an already nostalgic snack and share with other fellow Maggi lovers in TO :)

Tell us in the caption below which one is your favourite Maggi on the Thindi menu (or one that you make at home) !

Because nothing says 'I love you' like a hand made treat, Coconut burfi. Here's to a day filled with love, kindness, and delicious moments! 🌹🥥

Nestled in this cozy corner today, surrounded by the vibrance of this Birds of paradise "banana leaf plant." ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​🌿✨ Did you know that in South Indian culture, the banana leaf isn't just a leaf, but a symbol of tradition and hospitality? Not just for decor – it's an integral part of the dining experience. In South Indian cuisine, meals are often served on banana leaves, a practice that dates back centuries. The leaves add a unique aroma and flavor to the food, and their eco-friendly nature aligns with the ethos of sustainable living.

So here's to embracing tradition, savoring the green goodness, and enjoying the simple pleasures of a cozy nook!

🌱💛

The Joy of Chai. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Thindi's signature chai concentrate — now, you might ask, chai what now?! Lol, yes. We took the mess of making chai and simplified it for those busy mornings, here's how. Our team brews fresh batches of chai with Thindi's house-made chai masala, strains and bottles them for instant use. You simply mix the Thindi Signature Chai 'concentrate' with your choice of milk. We recommend a 50/50 ratio but adjust to however you enjoy it (add a sweetener or ice!).

Just the Joy. Without the mess 🎉

The Underdog — Vegan Omlette aka Besan Chilla ! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​This dish reminds us of those evenings in Anuja's home when she would get super excited for the 'fun' snack she was about to enjoy for dinner. Never realizing how nutritionally rich and healthy the dish was — made with chickpea flour (full of protein) and loaded with veggies (fiber). Sometimes, if she was lucky she could get grated cheese on it too 😉

At Thindi, we brought about a version that's enjoyed by so many vegan guests with a cup of chai or coffee. Brings us utmost joy to share Thindi with you all that's simply soul food 😍

Tag your vegan friends and come try it out this week!
