What is your favourite cheat food?
If I have to name one, it is going to be so difficult (laughs). I love Batata Vada, Kaman Dhokla. The list is endless. I cheat almost every second day.
What would your last meal on Earth be?
I think I will go with Khichdi.
Do you cook at home? What do you make? Share a recipe with us
Yes I absolutely cook at home. I recently made Green Thai Curry. I decided to make it from scratch. I got all the ingredients – Lemon Grass, Basil, Green Turmeric, Jeera, Dhaniya, I made it into a paste. This recipe is completely oilless.
Apart from that, we have a very simple recipe called Vagareli Khichdi, my mom taught me this. This is indeed yummy and delicious.
Veg or Non Veg?
I am a pure vegetarian.
Baked or fried?
Baked
Soup or salad?
Salad
One vegetable that you hate the most?
I don’t hate any veggies. I love veggies.
Weirdest dish you ever ate?
There was something I ate on the flight once. It was in between a puree and cake. It was green in colour. I did not understand what it was. It was tasteless, but it was weird.
Celebrity you would love to cook for?
I love anybody who loves to eat. If somebody enjoys food the way I do, I would love to cook.
Midnight snack?
Pastries. I love to eat them in the night.
The dish that your family loves when you make:
When we were under lockdown, I learned a lot. I made Pizza at that time. We made Pizza from scratch. It was a great dish. Everyone helped me at home and we used to enjoy. They enjoy Dal Dhokli when I make.
The best compliment got was for which dish:
We get marks for dishes. My husband and son give me marks out of 10. I have got 10 on very few occasions, of which Thai Curry was one. Pizza was one of them. 8 and 9 marks mean it is very good. If I get 6, it means it is average. I have got 6, but have not gone below than that till now (laughs).
