Desi spicy Maggi! (Non-veg)

Maggi...the name says it all. Every Indian, irrespective of age loves at least one variety of maggi. Be it spicy, saucy, dry mix (yes that exists people), butter chicken maggi or even maggi pizza. You name it, chances are we might have invented that variation.

And why not? For a country obsessed with eating good (though not healthy often) Maggi is the cure. Have a cold? Maggi. Hungry at 2 am? Maggi. Want to impress your crush? Maggi. Missing mum? Mum's style Maggi. Maggi does it all for all of us. And so on a lazy, I-refuse-to-cook-today-mood who's my saviour? Maggi

Here's the recipe folks.

1.Thinly slice 2 medium sized onions n 4 green chillies. Fry till its slightly golden.

2. Add haldi, red chilli powder and Everest Chicken Masala and saute at a low heat for 2 mins. Add 1 chopped tomato n saute.

3. Add two beaten eggs and cook for 5 mins as a scramble. Add salt now so that the tomatoes don't turn into mush along with some freshly ground pepper.

4. Add veggies to boiling water. Add maggi and cook. Once done, mix the scramble with this and serve hot.

"I have barely traveled outside my own state."..Now that's a statement.Really.I have been staying in my own state West Bengal for the last 29 years of my life.And I have barely traveled outside of it.No,I'm not attached to my city so much,if that's what you are thinking.Its exactly the opposite.I'm a bohemian.I don't have sentimental attachments to places.I never did.My late father used to work in the Government sector and that meant a lot of transfers.I have been to the remotest of villages in West Bengal(Perks of being an honest policeman) with my family ever since I was a kid.I don't remember those days as I was just a toddler but from what my mother has told me,we have often lived in places with no electricity to times when my mother had to keep ducks and hens in the house and sell their eggs in the market to make ends meet(like I said perks of being an honest policeman).But as far as I can remember I was never really very sad to move places.Rathe...

Singapore Diaries 1-The shakti of MDH Masalas and Ma ka pyaar.

On my first International Flight to Singapore through Silk Air I was as excited and petrified as a kid is on the first day of school.The morning of 20th October'15 and the days before that I was an emotional mess to be honest.It was the first time I was leaving my family and going to an unknown country.Now one may say that its the same if I had left Kolkata and gone elsewhere,any other city in India,I would have felt equally alone.But I beg to differ.See the thing is that any other city in India might have been unknown but it would have been the same Country.The people may look different like for example if you shifted to Kashmir or Jammu you might have suffered from a bit of fair-and-lovely complex as people there are all the colour of plaster of paris with a tinge of pink on their cheeks.Similarly if you would have travelled to the south,people may look at you if you are even remotely as fair as me because there the fair-and-lovely complex is in reverse.The dresses may have va...

Paella ki Kahani : Soft, white, buttery basmati rice cooked with sausages and eggs

So it was basically one of those mundane mornings where having nothing to do on a Sunday (yeah I know what you guys are thinking!! But when you shift countries as drastically as you change Tata Sky channels, not having friends seems normal) and my hubby coming to no rescue of mine because he was transfixed on Channel News Asia, my empty mind diverted itself to the food devil inside my head. I started thinking about what to cook for lunch for office tomorrow as my very coy, virgin stomach rejects all food made outside except fine dining (I know…I know…Food Bourgeois) and the quantity of food is very meager considering the amount of money we pay to have it. Pressurizing my cerebellum to come up with recipes I suddenly remembered Padma Laxmi….. Wait! Before jumping into conclusions let me make it clear that, (i) No I’m not bordering on being Bi-sexual (ii) ...
