FOOD and all that it can do for your mood. A horrid day can be put straight by good food. The aromas, the textures, the assault on the taste buds can make one forget all the worries and the woes.

At the same time a little extra salt/ sugar, an extra unrequired minute on the stove, a slightly burnt smell and it kills even the most romantic of moods.

I myself, am no gourmet cook nor do i have the facilities to be one, but I make do with what i have and do manage to cook well enough.

I don't gorge on red meat neither on sea food, yet, within the world of vegan and white meat, I love to explore, evperience and experiment.

I can't hog nor can I criticize, but I am a self-proclaimed FOODIE......

And this space is all about my experiments with FOOD

DHABA ISHTYLE

After my return from Amritsar i missed the awesome food you get there at those really awesome dhabas (do go to Bhrawan da Dhabba and Kesar da dhaba, for meat lovers visit Haveli and Lawerence Road if u happen to find yourself on the land of Golden Temple)........... Anyways returning to my story, yesterday my cusins took me to the Bittu da Dhaba on the outskirts of the city.

So while we watched the sun set we gorged upon really good food. For less than five hundred bucks we chomped on 4 plates of dal, 2 plates of paneer and pulao and numerous roti's. The companty was good, the food was good and it set the mood for the rest of the day as good.

So paying homage to the lil bit of punjabi blood in me, I assure you that the best way to enjoy food is at a Dhaba.......yup those lit like a bride places or those damp, dark and dhingy food places u see outside the city, on the highways and everywhere in Punjab.........I can't explain how but food always tastes much more delicious in a dhaba than in a five-star hoter.

The quality of the materials used i cannot vouch for.......but the taste is just BRILLIANCE. You can get authentic Punjabi food only at a dhaba........so if you happen to be in Punjab by any chance do not and i warn do not venture into a hotel even by mistake........Instead find out the best dhaba's in town and hop, run and skip to it for some Awesome food ever.......
