Fork Tales

When in 2010 I visited Vizag, I fell in love with sea food. There I tried stuffed mackerels, which was delicous and one of the best dishes. I will share the recipe with you, go and try back at your home. STUFFED MACKERELS three mackerels, cleaned scaled and slit mid way for stuffing: three cloves of garlic one inch piece of ginger two red chillies half teaspoon of turmeric one teaspoon of jeera one teaspoon of dhania some tamarind salt to taste Grind together all the ingredients of the stuffing. use this mixture to stuff the mackerels and rub some of it on top along with some lemon juice. Brush the tops with vegetable pil. Shallow fry on a tawa until the fish is cooked and the skin is crisp. Serve hot.

BREAKFAST IS SIMPLE

I am a huge foodie and I love Punjabi food. But ever since I've embarked on travel routine, I have embraced a healthier way of eating. This doesn't mean that I am constantly dieting but it just means that I eat what I want very sensibly. These days I don't skip my breakfast and it's usually something simple. I space my meals throughout the day and ensure I munch something simple whenever I have time. The one thing that I absolutely love is chicken and I simply can't get enough of it. Tandoori chicken is one of my favourites and I can eat it just by itself too. The foodie in me tempts me to cheat on my diet once in a while, but I try to curb it as much as I can. Tandoori Chicken
