What is your favourite cheat food?
I am usually a cautious eater like I choose home food and a simple balanced diet but if I have to absolutely indulge to cheat, then it has to be a dessert, any dessert, from moong dal halwa to a good chocolate pastry, anything sweet!
Do you cook at home? What do you make? Share a recipe with us
I have recently acquired some skills in the kitchen, thanks to the idleness in the lockdown. I can’t cook everything, but whatever I can is mostly fish and chicken recipes.
Veg or Non-veg
I enjoy both actually.
Baked or fried?
Both. But I would opt for baked stuff more, for the sake of making healthy choices.
Soup or salad?
Again both. Actually, there aren’t a lot of things that I dislike, I am one experimental and excited person when it comes to food.
One vegetable that you hate the most?
I like all the veggies including bitter gourd. But if I have to have an answer, then it would be coriander leaves, because I feel it is an unwanted addition to food items.
Your erotica food?
Coffee that is nicely brewed and mixed well with the right amount of milk and cream and sweetness.
Weirdest dish you ever ate?
It sounds weird but tastes absolutely incredible. It’s called ‘bhujing’. It’s a local dish, you get it in the areas north of Mumbai like Vasai, Virar, Palghar side and quite famous there too. It’s a mix of rice poha with thick spicy chicken gravy. The preparation is too good to have it only once.
Celebrity you would love to cook for?
Priyanka Chopra. I saw one interview in which she mentioned she loves chaat, so I will make that for her or literally anything she likes.
Midnight snack?
Chips, but if there are banana chips fried in coconut oil, then it’s no snack but a big happy meal.
The dish that your family loves when you make:
I learnt the recipe of Korri Rotti, it’s a Mangalorean-style chicken gravy with dry dosa. They have enjoyed it every time I have made it.
The best compliment got was for which dish:
You have cooked this like how your mom and grannies would, this is a compliment that I got. Because they are the good cooks and best critics too.
