Nothing pleases like an unmitigated surprise. So that evening at Badshah, upon finding ‘Creamy Chicken Tandoori’ - discernibly bearing outward kinship with Levantine delicacies, pose temptingly at the end of a relatively random Roll-trail, I smelt delectation in the offing. Likely to strike as an Albino to the tyro, this fairer avatar of Tandoori swimmingly belied all that I had apprehended until biting into it. Juicy chicken chunks, lovingly marinated with a perceptible accent of garlic, yielded to my incessant love-bites giving out a round savour worth zealous pursuit. Astute use of tamer herbs as seasoning secured a mature and savoury mouthfeel. And, I smiled at finding just another reason to frequent Badshah. Anyone to up the ante?
I love good-food. And, I love writing about it too. Having never found taste in penning insipid narratives, I sought stories and trivia that had grown around ‘Eating’ - some instantly, some over a period and some across generations. Therefore, my page shares stories wherein food plays the protagonist. Good-food pleases and bad-food teaches. So I owe as much to good ones as bad. And, I always pay for what I flaunt.
