Good non-veg rolls. Poor veg ones

Kathi Rolls. A great street snack which satisfies both veg and non-veg lovers, and is versatile enough to even be a quick lunch / dinner for those of us on the go. The best kathi rolls I have had toll date were in Kolkata, many years ago. Bangalore did have some good ones, namely Chakum Chukum i...Read more

Amazing tandoori non-veg

The tandoor. So simple in concept, so brilliant in execution. It takes the simplest of things, some dough, and transforms it into a hot melt-in-your mouth naan or roti. Of course, its magic on other items cannot be overstated, especially on marinated non-vegetarian treats. Food in Moti Bagh ...Read more

Amul Cheese? Yes Please

Cheese. It might seem alien to the Indian palate just a couple of decades ago, but it has embedded itself as a mainstream food item these days. Blame that upon fast foods like Pizzas, Burgers and Pastas, but Cheese is here to stay. And having a bit of cheese at home doesn't hurt. Cheese is an...Read more

Spy thriller disguised as a superhero movie

Captain America is not most obvious hero to root for – He’s not cool. He can’t fly or do cool stuff and he behaves like a boy scout. On top of that he is blatantly pro America. His red-white-and blue suit and shield doing him no favours. After all, no one likes the uptight guy. The first Capt...Read more

Not five stars. But very attractively priced

Fried Chicken – unhealthy, wasteful, disgusting. Many such words have been thrown towards fried chicken in the country, and a lot of it has to do with people’s perceptions of the largest fried chicken chain in the country – KFC. But is fried chicken a really bad thing? To me, it’s just one mo...Read more
