Why Mumbai is my favourite city when it comes to driving

Which city comes in your mind when you and your friends are planning for a drive?

A drive is a great fun when we move out of our homes to discover new places by driving through the place with our vehicle. When we are planning for drive no matter if the drive is with our friends, family members or even a drive with just me and my car, we always look for a place which is best in terms of Drive, Design and connect.

First of all the feature of drive is very important as this is one of the primary things we keep in our mind while deciding a route for a drive. We decide those routes which give is the best driving experience and for a best driving experience we always look for a place which has the best roads. While looking for the best road we look for that road which is smoother, doesn't have holes, has very less speed breakers and also the road is very broad so that we don't face any kinds of obstacles such as a traffic jam which can spoil our fun of driving.

The next thing we look for is the design of the road. Generally we love to drive on roads which are either completely straight or flat or they have many twists and turns. A flat and straight road allows you to take your car which ever speed you want and a route with many twists and turns also gives a great driving experience. We also look for routes which have more number of highways or express ways so that the journey goes long without any interval.

The road which connects many other places within a shorter and straight route is also loved by people when they are planning for a drive across the city. A drive across the city is fun as you can visit many other places inside the city in a single drive.

When I keep all these features in mind, there is only on city which pops in my mind. And that city is in fact the place where I currently stay, the city of dreams, Mumbai. I have been living in this city since the last 7 years and these are the reasons why it stands up to be my favourite city when it comes to driving:

1. Smooth Driving Experience:
Although there are maximum number of potholes on the roads of Mumbai during the rainy season, we still get a comfortable driving experience overall. Except for a few places with huge traffic jams, the other parts of Mumbai can be rated be better with respect to many other cities across India.

2. Design of the city:
Mumbai stands average when it comes to design, there are IT parks, big hotels, International Airport, Railways and Bus stations which add to the beauty of the city. But the city is still developing and there are many places in which need to be redesigned. But on the other hand roads of Mumbai are well designed and it gives a metropolitan feel when we drive across various express ways, flyovers and the Worli Sea Link.

3. Connectivity in the city:
There are all kinds of transportation services like buses, local trains, auto rickshaws, taxi, cab, trucks, metro, monorail, etc. which help you to travel across the city. The roads in Mumbai support all kinds of vehicles and the land transport system connects you to every corner of the city via the land route.

These are the reasons why I feel that Mumbai is #madeofgreat city and I find it the best when it comes to driving.

Sugar Free Chocolate Vanilla Ice cream Sandwich.

We do eat a lot of cakes during many occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, parties, etc. But have you ever tried to eat Chocolate vanilla Ice cream Sandwich. Many of us might have had this but we might be calling it with different names. Today I will be sharing the recipe on how to make Chocolate vanilla ice cream sandwich, but there is some twist is the recipe. I will be adding Sugar Free Natura, and will be explaining you how you can prepare this recipe free of sugar without compromising on the taste just by replacing the sugar with Sugar free Natura.

Here are the ingredients of the recipe:

1.     All-purpose flour (2 cups).

2.     Butter (Half cup).

3.     Powdered Sugar (Half cup).

4.     Cocoa Powder (1 cup).

5.     Milk (1 cup).

6.     Condensed milk (Half cup).

7.     Baking powder (2 tsp.)

8.     Baking Soda (1 tsp.)

9.     Vanilla Ice cream (1 Litre pack Available in Market).

Here are the steps on how to make the Chocolate Vanilla Ice cream Sandwich. First we need to prepare a chocolate cake.

1.     Mix all-purpose flour, Cocoa powder, Baking Soda and Baking powder properly. Use a sieve to strain it. This will mix them properly.

2.     Now mix Butter, Powdered sugar and Condensed Milk properly till the mixture becomes fluffy. After the mixture becomes fluffy, add a little milk to dilute the mixture. 

3.     Now add the mixture of the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda to the mixture of Butter, sugar and condensed milk. Mix them well and stir only in one direction. Now our paste is ready.

4.     Now take a square or rectangular container, grease it using butter and butter paper and then add the paste. Shake the container well so that the paste spreads well in the container.

5.     Preheat the oven at 180 degree centigrade and place the container inside it. Bake it on the same temperature for 25 minutes.

6.     Now our cake is ready. Remove it out of the oven and cool it at room temperature. After it gets cooled down, remove the cake out of the container and then cut it in the size of approx. 1 cm in height. You can select the length and width according to you. Make sure all the pieces are cut in approximate same dimensions.

7.     Take Vanilla Ice cream out of the Fridge and cut them in the same sizes as you had cut the cake.

8.     Put the Ice cream between two cake blocks and serve them. You can also use chocolate cream and dry fruits to decorate the dessert. 

If you may have noticed, we have used a lot of sugar in this recipe due to which it is not advised to be serve to Heart and diabetes patients. But they are also human beings and they also may wish to have this delicious dessert. So do we have any solution for them?

Yes, I will suggest you to use artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. The best fact about artificial sweeteners is that they are very healthy and diet friendly. I will be suggesting you to use Sugar Free Natura. 9 Tablets or Pellets of Sugar Free Natura are equivalent to one Tablespoon of Sugar. So you can use around 25-30 tablets of Sugar Free Natura to get the same taste in the dessert what you got using natural sugar, but the best fact about using Natura Sugar is that it won't affect the health of Heart and Diabetes patients. And everyone in your family from your grandparents to you and your children can enjoy this dessert without any worries of health issues.
