Alright, after enough experimentation and trials and errors, I decided to related my culinary experiences to the world. So what's new about my experiences that would want you to listen. In general this blog will be about Indian food. But what you will find is a flavor of food which will be an eclectic fusion of a variety of flavors of India. It will be very hard to pigeon-hole these recipes as south indian or north indian or east or west. The main reason behind such a seemingly strange fusion, is my own preferences in taste and my talent in spotting potential improvements or additions to otherwise standard recipes. In addition, the choice of ingredients will be made very flexible, so that you can adapt to the locally available produce. This in essence is my style of cooking - always on the lookout for replacing old and boring ingredients with something new and different. Imagine a north indian curry that uses dhania-jeera with the totally south indian curry powder. Or a south indian sambar made with unusual vegetables like the zucchini and the summer squash.
Having lived with roommates from all over India, has given me a broad exposure to the flavors of India. That combined with my natural flair for combining things in new and unusual ways has resulted in me dishing out stuff that always elicits the response 'Mmmmm, this rajma tastes goooooood, but so different' or 'Mmmmm this sambar is awesome, but doesnt quite taste like one'. So if you are a purist, then sorry this blog is not for you. But if you love experimentation, and appreciate interesting twists to age-old recipes, then you will enjoy this blog.
With this, I end the introduction, and we start off. I will post pics soon.
