Mummy bhookh lagi
The bluegreenfly...SPLAT has tagged me, and being the sport that I am (ahem!), here's the list of 10 of my favourite food dishes, and my recommendations on where to find them.
10. Macadamia Dulce - I am not a big fan of ice cream anymore (whatever!) but this is one flavour from Movenpick which still gets me drooling.
9. Satay - A malay specialty, its basically barbecued chicken which tastes simply great. Have it at any restaurant in Malaysia, and you wont be disappointed.
8. Roast Chicken Sandwich - Yes I know it sounds nothing exotic, but you have to try the one at Food Barn, Singapore. The chicken, the mustard, the cheese, the panini... mmmmmmmm.
7. Omlette Curry - Most people havent even heard of it, but its immensely popular in Eastern India. The flavours are great, and have it hot with rotis, and you'll fall for it too. My preference? Either my mom's or my creation.
6. Brownies - I prefer them to chocolate cakes any day! Current favourites are the ones baked by yours truly. Hagen Daaz comes a close second ;)
5. Gulab Jamun - The only mithai that I like. That too only the one's prepared at home by mom dear. Yes, I'm fussy with food :p
4. Bhelpuri - Yes, for people like me living outside India, it really is a big deal to have decent chaat or bhel. Whenever I go to India, I make it a point to have some at Haldiram's in Calcutta.
3. Aloo ke parathe - Need I say more? The unwritten rule is that Mom will make them for dinner the day I land up at home. And nothing goes better with it than homemade chutney.
2. INDIAN chinese food - Yes I dont like the genuine thing. Give me the fake, Indianised, spiced-up version, and I'll lap it all up. Meow!
1. Chicken Tikka - There is nothing more satisfying than well done kebabs and tikkas. Although you can get them anywhere, the best tikkas I've ever tasted have to be from Bukharas in Singapore, and Nirula's in Delhi. I still remember the taste distinctly... that's how good they were!
So folks, its time you all took up the tag. Its christmas season, so what better to talk about than food :D

Educatedunemployed,
Muahahahahaha!
Bukhara's closed down for good man! What the hell!
Yes I know :(
Sucks!
kha kha ke moti ho jayegi... :-)
you know in India the Chicken Tikka is not a dish... :-) seriously... if you go to Punjab and ask for Chicken Tikka they will look at your face... simple reason is that the Spicy Chiken in UK is not that spicy but they say the Chiken is Teeekha...hence Tikka Chicken or Chicken Tikka...
:-)
V..
i think chicken tikka is the commonest favourite ever. it's loveliest.
Susubala,
Sneak out and treat yourself :)
Virdi,
But I thought it was a variety of kebab, aint it? Even pakistanis call it 'chicken tikka'...
Bgfs,
Yumm yumm!
5 - my favorite
3 - home-made are the best, otherwise delhi has the best places for them but i still find shimla [near new year] to be the most amazing place to have them as breakfast
