MY FAVOURITE DISH I

I love to eat mutton curry at my house in Jamshedpur, its my favourite. I really like the simple, home cooked food from my mothers kitchen.

I LIKE TO EAT AT I

When it comes to good food, I enjoy being in Kolkata. I like the mutton biryani and mutton pasanda kabab at Aminia. I also like the rolls at Nizams . Kolkata is the best place to have sweets. I really relish ladoos at Allauddin. I also like to have mutton burra kababs at Karims in Jama Masjid.

BEST MEAL IVE EVER HAD I

At my house, dal, rice and mutton, make for a perfect meal. In Mumbai except for Britannia Restaurant, there arent many good places to eat. I really like Goan food.

I like to eat traditional food when I am in India. I also appreciate a lot of ethnic food from all over the world. In Thailand and China, I like local preparations. I like to eat the authentic , traditional food of China, Europe and Russia. I am a true non-vegetarian and with a taste bud for red meat.
