This started way right from my visit to Dubai. Food Obsession is my sibling. Always together, craving for seductive food. Travel and Restaurants and friends are my whole day plans. Drop in at a beach side restaurant or a downtown busy restaurant and order the spiciest wildly tempting dish. Grab the plate and enjoy at my silent comfort zone.
You know sometime cooking is very hard for me. Going through week meal planning, Grocery purchase, cooking is really really hard for me. Software and Mathematics and Research are my second passion. So i end up there with my laptop, cup of tea, and few papers to research
I do prefer a soft couch – watching tv, snacking some ordered sandwiches or burger.
Then it suddenly strucks me hard on head to plan a delicious series of dish for me and my better half . Once i start, i wont wont stop. That is how i made this Mushroom Tikka to prove that i can get hold of restaurant taste.
