View Instagram Post 1: I have received amazing compliments for the Sizzlers I made: Mallika Nayak
One vegetable that you hate the most?
I do not like carrots that are boiled. I cannot get mushrooms too down my throat.
Your erotica food?
Anything in Chinese.
Weirdest dish you ever ate?
I have not had anything weird. But any dish that is made out of Tofu, I don’t relate to. Tofu is bland and tasteless. I don’t know what the hype is about Tofu.
Celebrity you would love to cook for?
Rekhaji. She is my idol. I admire her personality, the way she dresses up etc. I would love to cook South Indian food for her.
Midnight snack?
Maggi, my style. I chop onions, put finely chopped green chillies, and saute them in butter. I put chilli flakes, oregano, mixed herbs, Maggi Masala and then put the Maggi. When it is completely cooked, I put a big slice of cheese on top of it. It is yum.
The dish that your family loves when you make:
They generally make all of it that I make. My son loves Pad Thai which I make. My daughter loves Stir Fry Veggie that I make.
The best compliment got was for which dish:
I attempted Sizzlers during the lockdown and it came out very well. I have served Sizzlers for my extended family, and also for Aishwarya Sakhuja and Rohit. All of them loved it.
