Ashwin and I decided to meet up midweek and yesterday seemed as good a day as any. Since I had had enough of western style food, the general consensus was either an Indian or a Chinese restaurant. Roaming around Khan market, we found SideWok.
If I were to choose a single redeeming feature at SideWok, it [...]
I was at a barbeque this past Sunday, very kindly invited there by Joseph and his wife Elisabeth. It was my first such experience in this country and quite nice too.
We had grilled beef steaks, mince meat kebabs, boiled jacket potatoes topped with cheese, sauteed onions and bell peppers, sauteed mushrooms, ciabatta, duck and greens [...]
We awoke to a cool and damp day but as it is our holiday we don’t mind that much. We did some basic shopping then had a drive out to the countryside. There is a distinct lack of wild life in this area compared to some places we have stayed, the only things of interest have been [...]
England is a lovely place, the people, countryside, food, buildings, cars and just about everything else. If its one thing I’m beginning to have a healthy dislike for, its the sandwiches. Now, sandwiches are delicate things and you can’t hurt their feelings by just stuffing a piece of bacon between a sliced bun and calling [...]
Ashwin (of MentorLink fame) took us out to an Afghani restaurant yesterday.A foodie himself, Ashwin likes finding restaurants and places to eat in little known places. “Before they start dishing out commercial crap”, are his words on the subject.
Anyhow, more of an eating house than a restaurant the way we all expect it, Afghan is [...]
We picked up some fresh prawns from INA market and for some reason, I wanted to cook them in a coconut gravy - so much that I could actually taste and smell them the way I wanted it.We usually pick up fresh, unpeeled prawns from the market, then Cherie and I sit down to the [...]
Like the title says, most of us like salads in some form or another. No red blooded Punjabi would be caught eating mutton curry or any other meal without sliced onions, fresh breath be damned. Then we have those crisp crunchy salads in restaurants, dressed with yummy thousand island or perhaps a mayonnaise concoction.
Love them, [...]
This is a deliciously different stew, that can be made with any kind of meat you like, in any form. I’m not sure which cuisine to categorise this under, since as it is a little American and a bit Asian. It does have a very interesting flavor nonetheless and goes very well with a hunk [...]
The mutton stew I wrote about earlier may be eaten with bread or chapattis but they taste best with Valle-appams or Hoppers. Here is the recipe for Vellappams, the way my grandmother made them. However I have introduced one variation from the original. My grandma used toddy, tapped fresh from the bark of the coconut [...]
Ashwin and I decided to meet up for dinner a few days back and we decided to visit Chor Bizarre, which is in the same complex as Oriental Octopus - Savoy Suites, Sector 16, NOIDA.
The decor is quite interesting, what with antiques and objets’d art dating back to the days of the Raj prominently displayed. [...]
