Today is
day-three of our Friends season and its all about the most important thing in life.
Yes, today is all about food J Who doesn’t get a craving for the best Chicken Biryani in
town? Who doesn’t feel eating McAloo Tikki Burger at Mc Donald’s is heavenly? Who
hasn’t gone to the closest pav-bhaji laari outside nukkad of the society very
often? Who doesn’t want to cook dal-chawal after a week long trip eating
outside? Well, it was me once upon a time but I am no longer the same ;) After
coming to US, I started trying new cuisines and started cooking and since then there
is no looking back J As it is truly said - necessity became the mother of invention ;) I
am glad I came to US which taught me to love Food and most importantly love to
cook J
Enough of talking about me.
Let me introduce you to today’s blogger – Heena
Khiani - who loves to cook food as much as she loves to eat. This is her first
ever blog post and I purposely asked her to write for ‘Friends Season’ as I
wanted some diversity J And guess what – she did a great job by expressing her
love for cooking with lots of delightful pictures. I have known her for more
than two years now. She is my cousin-in-law, my wedding planner and above all
my friend. She is an event planner by profession and did a magnificent job
on planning my wedding. Although her name is Heena, we call her Honey as she is
as sweet as honey. Thanks a lot honey for planning our dream-wedding and for
this lovely blog post. I definitely want to try all these in our next India
trip J

Over to you, Honey -
This is my
first blog post ever! I would not be here writing about my cooking addiction if
it were not for you Jaya. She asked me if I can write a blogpost for her where
she is planning to feature few of her friends and suggested to write about
“Anything that I like to do, shopping, travelling, recent adventures or any thing”.
Though I am an event manager by profession and organize weddings, birthday
parties, conferences etc and yeah I like doing that a lot but then I thought
this time I would give a preference to my another creative passion - that’s
COOKING! Every once in a while after she
asked me to write for her blog, I would sit in front of the computer and my
brain would literally be empty! Zero words, zero thoughts.
It was
back in 2005 when I tried my hands on cooking and that was because I had come
to Pune for my higher education and got bored of eating at the restaurants and
also the food that was made by the cook. So jotted down few simple recipes (dictated
by MOM!) so that I get a homely feeling and yes of-course this passion for
cooking is in my blood because my MOM is an awesome chef J. And the
passion goes on....
To begin
with the appetizers:
 |
| Chicken Kababs |
 |
| Oven Grilled Garlic Chicken - Before and After |
From the
Chaat section,
 |
| Dahi Sev Puri |
Invited my
friends over for Pasta-Garlic bread and they suggested me to open up a
restaurant. Hehe!
 |
| Pasta Garlic Bread |
Time for
some main course: Schezwan
rice with tofu in soya, Chicken Biryani, Veg tawa and buttered corn rice with
chicken chilly. This made my friends and relatives name me as MASTERCHEF.

So the
readers of this blog post might be wondering why there wasn’t a single recipe
mentioned, the reason is that I never follow a single recipe! Every single time
I would cook something, it would be different than I cooked previously. Thats
my recipe! Here I end my blog post with a sweet note J
 |
| Assorted chocolates |
 |
| White Forest Cake (Father's Day Special) |
