BOWLFUL OF GOOD NESS

KAVITA CHHUTANI OF THE BOWL THERAPY TELLS TINA THAKRAR ABOUT ACING THE ART OF PACKING GOOD HEALTH IN HER HEARTY OATMEAL BOWLS

- 

One of the best ways to describe Kavita Chhutani is someone who has always been one step ahead of the curve. She followed a healthy diet before it became a fad, consciously plated and decorated every meal before the Masterchef era, and regularly clicked pictures of her food before Instagram came around. But with her latest move, she’s pretty much conquered the health food game - Kavita is the founder and chief designer of her colourful array of nutritious oatmeal bowls at The Bowl Therapy in Pune.

A jewellery designer by qualification, Kavita now channels her creativity, love for colour, and styling skills into her intricately bejewelled bowls. “When I was first learning jewellery design, I preferred to lay out colourful stones on my tray instead of sketching the design. I do the same with my bowls - every one of them is like a piece of jewellery, with vivid bits and baubles in balanced combinations.” She plays this up with a textural interplay of creaminess, crunch, tang and sweetness for the ultimate appetising breakfast. “I have to admit though, I sometimes prefer my bowls for dessert!” she says heartily.
