What is your favourite cheat food?
My favourite cheat food is Cheese Crust, Indi Tandoori Paneer Pizza from Dominos because I love the amount of Cheese, Vegetables & Paneer they put in it.
What would your last meal on Earth be?
Last Meal on Earth would be my mom-made Baingan Ka Bharta, Jawaari / Makke Ki Roti, Hara Bharaa Salad, Pooran Poli, Aamras, Sitaafal Baasundi & Chaas. Since, it’s my last day I wanna eat Maa ke Haath ka khaanaa, Maa ke saath. ?
Do you cook at home? What do you make? Share a recipe with us
Usually, I am always out of town and occupied with work, but whenever I’m home, I cook Red Sauce Pasta, Paav Bhaaji, Mixed Vegetable Sabji, etc.
Paav Bhaaji Recipe-
1 tbsp + 1 tbsp butter, 3 tomato (finely chopped), ¼ cup peas / matar, ½ capsicum (finely chopped), 2 potato (boiled & mashed), 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp + ¼ tsp kashmiri red chilli powder / lal mirch powder, ¼ tsp turmeric / haldi, 1 tsp + ½ tsp pav bhaji masala, 1 tsp + 1 tsp kasuri methi / dry fenugreek leaves, 2 tbsp + 1 tbsp coriander leaves (finely chopped), 1 tsp ginger garlic paste, 1 onion (finely chopped), ½ lemon juice,3 drops red food colour (optional),water to adjust consistency.
To toast pav:
8 pav / bread roll
4 tsp butter
½ tsp kashmiri red chilli powder / lal mirch powder
½ tsp pav bhaji masala
4 tsp coriander leaves (finely chopped)
Veg or Non Veg?
Pure Vegetarian, because I’m a Pure Animal Lover. ?
Baked or fried?
Baked, because it’s healthy and all the flavors of each ingredient taste more better.
Soup or salad?
Salad- Feta Cheese Greek Salad. Green Vegetable Salad, I like the broccolis and corns in my salad.
One vegetable that you hate the most?
Bitter Gourd/Karela. I hate it because the name itself suggests, it’s too Bitter.
Your erotica food?
Biryani Sizzler, Paneer Sizzler. What’s more erotic than a Chinese Sizzler!?
Weirdest dish you ever ate?
Paani Puri Ice Cream is one of the weirdest dishes I ate, as it tastes like khatta imli ka ice cream. Without puri, it’s better though. It is not that bad. Pani Puri is known for its tangy water and spicy stuffings. Honestly, I wouldn’t trade my khatta gol gappa with anything.
Veg Sushi is a real weird dish because it definitely looked like a piece of art but when I tasted it, it was just overcooked rice with a thin slice of raw carrot & cucumber with no flavour, no taste. It is actually a non-edible piece of beautiful art.
Celebrity you would love to cook for?
Shah Rukh Khan. He is my idol since childhood and I have been following his work, been inspired by his struggle and have also been motivated by his journey. If I were to cook for him, I’d cook Special Gujarati Dishes for him like Khaman Dhokla, Khaandvi, Paatra, and Undhyu ki Sabji. I am sure he will love home-cooked Gujarati Special Dishes (even if I will have to learn from somebody about how to cook these???)
Midnight snack?
Midnight Snack is Belgium Waffles Ice Cream, and Mocha Shake with a Dark Chocolate Desert Cake.?
The dish that your family loves when you make:
SEVPURI & BHELPURI. My family loves them when I make them, because not only do I know how to make them spicy and sweet based on everyone’s choices, but I also add fruits like Pomegranate, Pineapple, Kachaa Mango, etc. in my Chaat Dishes to make them look and taste fancier. It is not an ordinary SEVPURI/BHELPURI, it’s an Extraordinary one, because very rare people know the importance of these fruits in the Chaat which brings a delicious taste to it.
The best compliment got was for which dish:
Paav Bhaaji, because I know how to cook it with a special ingredient and that’s “HEART” ?
