Green Mango Paneer

At a tiny place hidden between shops & restaurants is a fusion Indian place. Pictured here is the paneer dipped and prepared in a green/raw mango sauce and served with pita bread. It was different, tasted good and felt Indian. Restaurant: Graffiti

Poblano Rajas Quesadilla

This Quesadilla was simple & that was the reason why it tasted so good. Peppers & onions on the inside with cheese on the outside sounds really basic but you will be amazed at how royally many ruin the dish by trying to add a unique vegetable. Restaurant: Patron in NYC.

Mediterranean platter

At a hookah place, I’ve got nothing better to do than eat. My friend, from middle east, ordered the Mediterranean platter to show us what’s food like in her part of the world. Pictured above: Hummus–still don’t like it, it’s too bland for me Taboli–weird. It’s like a salad that has bad tasting green stuff…

Curry’s history

The term likely derives from kari, the word for sauce in Tamil, a South-Indian language. Perplexed by that region’s wide variety of savory dishes, 17th-century British traders lumped them all under the term curry.  A curry, as the Brits defined it, might be a mélange of onion, ginger, turmeric, garlic, pepper, chilies, coriander, cumin, and other spices…

Chilli Releno

It looks more delicious than it tasted. Pretty good option for vegetarians though. What’s not to like in peppers filled with cheese, and some beans? Restaurant: Chevy’s Fresh Mex at Times Square

Papad, nachos style

Papad is an Indian snack much like Nachos. It can be had plain or with onions & tomatoes sprinkled.

Wood Oven Vegetable Pizza

During my trip to Vegas our first breakfast was at Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill inside the MGM Grand. While most of my friends ordered something with meat or egg, I decided to go for their cheese pizza but, add a few veggies they offered on other pizzas. My thin crust, wood Owen baked cheese…

Potato stuffed with cheese

An Indian appetizer that is as delicious to eat as it sounds in theory. With fried peppers & onions by the side, the hot & spicy potatoes with some of the skin were quite good. Restaurant: chotte nawab (NYC) Name: Aloo ka bharwan
