Corn Mayo Sandwich- Moment of ethereal nostalgia

October 29, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Corn Mayo Sandwich

At this time of year in Pune (month of October), rains would have fast shut its door like a whimsical, adamant teenager who is difficult to persuade and winters though seem to be around the corner, would still be afar. Sensing this as an opportunity, heat and humidity would torment us for the month of October. However, this year, we are witnessing a turnaround.

Shahi Tukda- A eulogy for nazakat and nafasat of Lucknow

October 22, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Shahi Tukda

I regret to have missed the gastronomic experience of trying out the Nawabi (royalty) recipe of Shahi Tukda during my trip to Lucknow last year. This feeling is more so justified when you know that the recipe originated from that city.

New techniques were learnt, new methods were found, new ingredients were embraced and thus a new culture was born.

Indian history is replete with several invasions and wars that influenced our lives. It impacted our geography, religions, languages, and lifestyle and completely altered our food.

October 13, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Paneer Balls

We have been facing issues lately with our refrigerator.  It is little over 7 years old and had never ill-behaved but lately it had been turning its back on us.  I believed in it and entrusted it with the responsibility of keeping my essentials safe and it did exactly what it promised for all these years.

Eggless Mayonnaise

October 1, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Egg less Mayonnaise

French lay their claim on it but inhabitants of Mahon would disagree. It must be a sensitive issue for food historians or etymologists in culinary world to which they have been seeking answers to but it’s a tough nut to crack. I think the story that both sides present, itself is quite fascinating and deserves to be told. Let me tell you the story of Mayonnaise- a delicacy or as the French would say délicatesse, without which your sandwich would never taste same.
