Leading Indian Food Industry by example
The food industry is on the cliff of a transformation every day. A new food paradigm has emerged driven by the knowledge of positive health effects of functional and natural foods. On the contrary, increasing availability and popularity of packaged frozen meals of different cuisine amongst folks is defeating the purpose and creating a hindrance in achieving this shift holistically.
They say when strong women come together with a collective intention – MAGIC HAPPENS! Women are the source of new life and undoubtedly the creators of great ideas.
Poppin Papadums – is an Indian restaurant located at Camp Hill, Brisbane (Queensland). It is a scrumptious and magical tale of love, camaraderie, passion for food and support. The all-women squad – Prerna, Jimmy, Hansha, Shatabdi and Mandy; hailing from culturally diverse cities of India and have brought their varied food cultures along with them to Australia. They have known each other for many years and are not just the best of friends but are food enthusiasts. They share a common vision of a world rejoicing with fresh, toxic free, flavoursome recipes made from simplest of ingredients, bringing back authenticity to the food.
Over the years Australia has witnessed a trend of evolving Indian cuisine to cater to western taste buds. However, with more and more people indulging in healthy food lifestyle; Prerna and Jimmy felt it was time to bring back the authentic and traditional cuisine to Australia. They here by endeavour to bring to your table possibly the least processed, healthy, authentic, and yet fast Indian food cooked with the most flavourful, raw and aromatic spices from the land of spices, India. Most of the Indian spices have medicinal & nutritional properties; so, when the food is cooked using these spices/ingredients; and eaten in balanced/portion size it sure does wonders.
From the very first day of opening on 11th May 2018, they pledged to go the most carbon neutral they possibly could by using ecofriendly packaging which does absolutely no harm to the environment. At Poppin Papadums they use packaging made from sugar-cane plant, which is extremely durable, lightweight, and biodegrades in 30-90 days once exposed to composting conditions. It is an ideal alternative to traditional polystyrene meal packaging.
At Poppin Papadums, they are using paper products from managed plantations; as sustainable forestry is one of the most effective means to mitigate climate change. They are only using bio-plastics products made from renewable resources compared to the other conventional versions. These products save fossil resources by using biomass which regenerates (annually) and provides the unique potential of carbon neutrality.
This ideology and approach of eco-friendliness came after months of thorough research on how they could make a positive difference in the community – not just by serving good food but also serving it right, in ecofriendly manner; thus, reducing their carbon footprint.
Today, Poppin Papadums is ‘Australia’s first eco-friendly Indian restaurant’ aiming to serve the palate and the planet.
This budding venture is receiving raving reviews every day for the concept and their fresh and delicious Indian food. They are elated to receive such amazing response and support from the local community. These women visionaries are looking forward to initiating many more small but impactful ideas in their restaurant in the near future.
At Poppin Papadums they believe why drive when you can fly? All you need to do is connect your power to your passion and off you go. It provides you energy to become what you wish to be.
