What is your favourite cheat food?
My favorite cheat food includes Indian desserts, for sure! I’m also extremely fond of momos and vegetable pulao.
What would your last meal on Earth be?
It’s hard to choose a last meal for myself, really! I’d probably like it to be street-side momos and chow mein.
Do you cook at home? Share a recipe with us
I adore cooking at home. Apart from baking, I make Indian, Continental, Pahadi, and Italian cuisines a lot. I’d love to share my vegan Paneer Butter Masala recipe with you, made by using cashew paste, whole spices, tomato paste and cumin. Saute the onions, then add garlic, ginger, green chili and tomatoes to it. As they soften, add dry spices like coriander, turmeric and khada masala in the end. Once this is done, saute it with cashew paste. Then you’re just left with cooking paneer using water and coriander and you’d be good to go!
Veg or Non Veg?
I only eat vegetarian foods.
Baked or fried?
I prefer baked meals over fried ones.
Soup or salad?
I prefer soup over salads.
One vegetable that you hate the most?
I don’t really hate any vegetables, but I’m not a fan of long and flat beans.
Your most tempting dish?
The most tempting dish for me would be rajma chawal.
Midnight snack?
Maggi is definitely my go-to midnight snack.
The dish that your family loves when you make:
My family loves to eat my kadhi chawal and paneer butter masala.
The best compliment got was:
In Pushpa Impossible, my character Pushpa runs a tiffin service and is known to be an excellent cook, I’m very much like her in reality. I cook well and get compliments on my food from my family and friends all the time! My family tells me they’d rather eat the dishes I make than ordering in.
