Nita Ambani once revealed Mukesh Ambani's favourite Gujarati dish is..., it costs Rs...
From chaat to chai, Ode to Banaras features the culinary delights from one of the world's oldest living cities. Apart from these, sweets, paan and mukhwas, kharik from Ahmedabad, chaat counters, malai toast and chai, lassi and lemon tea, the food counters set up for guests promise to bring the Banaras' rich and varied food culture to Mumbai. But do you know Mukesh Ambani's favourite snack?
Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani, a couple who have been married for around 35 years, follow a strict vegetarian diet and generally eat meals that are home-cooked. According to the media report, Mukesh Ambani has been enjoying Gujarati-style dal every evening at dinner, emphasizing the wholesome and culturally anchored food choices made by the couple.
Mukesh Ambani, one of Asia's richest people, is a well-known regular at Swati Snacks, one of the most famous places for authentic Gujarati cuisine in Mumbai. From satpadi roti to gatta nu shaak to fada ni khichdi, Swati Snacks' offerings are many and varied. One of its highlights is its panki – a dish made with rice flour, steamed in a plantain leaf, and Mukesh Ambani's favourite dish. This unique kind of food has become iconic in recent years. This Gujarati snack is light, healthy, and so comforting! Panki is made from urad dal flour, curd, fenugreek seeds, turmeric, and rice flour. The most unique part about panki is how it's cooked—between banana leaves—creating a subtle, earthy flavor. Panki can often be had with chutneys, or pickles and it's a household breakfast staple in diverse households in Gujarat. The best part? It's easy and quick to make.
Founded in 1963 by Minakshi Jhaveri, Swati Snacks began as a small chaat shop with just four tables and a menu offering four items, each priced at four annas. Over the years, the business has grown into a thriving restaurant chain, now generating a monthly turnover of nearly INR 4 crore.

Saare Jahan Se Accha shows a human, real spy, away from the flashy style of James Bond: Pratik Gandhi
For Pratik Gandhi, his new show, Saare Jahan Se Accha is more spy drama than a thriller. "That drama is a big part because we are dealing with complex human emotions," he tells us, explaining what separates the Netflix series from the overpopulated genre of spy thrillers in vogue today. Pratik spoke to HT along with the show's creators about its unique space and approach. Pratik Gandhi plays a spy in Netflix's Saare Jahan Se Accha. Keeping it real Saare Jahan Se Accha tells the story of a RAW agent in Pakistan in the 1970s, whose mission is to prevent the nation from becoming an atomic power. Based on true events, the show gives up the swanky Bond and Pathaan-style narrative of espionage for one grounded in realism. The show's creator, Gaurav Arora, explains, "The hyper-realistic style is to show a very stylish spy with good-looking women and in exotic locations. My attempt was to keep it very real and to show their pain and pressure." What separates Saare Jahan Se Accha from other spy dramas is how it treats the 'enemy'. Its depiction of ISI agents and Pakistani Army officials as humans instead of one-dimensional characters has been noted. Sejal Shah, the producer, explains, 'The idea was not to make a spectacle but to tell a story driven by the characters. And that is what we have here, characters who have a story - and both sides have stories.' Not James Bond Pratik plays Vishnu in the show, an Indian spy embedded in Pakistan. Talking about playing an everyman spy, he says, "James Bond was my first-ever introduction to spies. I always felt that anyone who plays a spy on screen will be a very flashy, flamboyant guy, very charming. He can do anything. He is almost a superhero. That was my initial understanding in my growing-up days. But I wouldn't call this series a spy thriller. It is a spy drama. That makes it absolutely fresh for me as an actor." Saare Jahan Se Accha also stars Sunny Hinduja, Tillotama Shome, Anup Soni, Kritika Kamra, and Suhail Nayyar. The show is currently streaming on Netflix.
