Papad Curry - Simplest and Quickest

Papad is one thing which we eat just with dinner which is roasted or fried but today I shall write about the most simplest curry known as Papad Curry.

Ingredients:

1. Papad - 4 Pieces
2. Red Chilly Powder
3. Turmeric
4. Jeera
5. Oil
6. Water
7. Salt

How to make:

1. Put in 2 teaspoon of Oil in a pan and heat it up with Jeera.
2. Cut papad in small pieces almost 1/5th of actual size of each papad.
3. Put them in the Pan and cook it with the oil for a minute medium heat
4. Add Red Chilly powder and turmeric.
5. Add salt but not too much as papad already has too much salt in it.
6. Add water and then cook again for 2 mins. Stir slowly.
7. That is it...step 7 is eat

The full flavor of the curry is based on what Papad you use as there are many flavors. We make it with the marwadi style papad which is generally roasted.

Khan Chacha - Kebabs that you will not forget

As you go up the stairs you can hear some hindi songs playing and as you reach the top you see lot of people starring at the LED indicator and waiting eagerly for some number to pop up. And as soon as the number is displayed on the screen they run towards the kitchen as if a kid is given a big candy. And come out with a big tray and multiple plates of Kababs and Rolls.


Yes the name of the place is Khan Chacha located in Khan Market and almost crowded till the last minute. This is not a regular place your order and food comes to your table. But you have to look up the menu get confused on what to order for a few minutes, order a roll or a kabab at bill counter and give the bill to the man behind the glass door and wait.


Just stare at the LED screen and when your bill number is displayed show the bill to the guy behind the glass window and they will give you the food what you have ordered. Get the food to the table and then just breathe slowly and take a bite of whatever you have ordered and I must say you must not have tried anything soft and tasty meat. The chutney provided with it compliments it so well that you will try to finish it with the kebab and want more.


One of the most decently priced place in one of the most pricey locality. And if you want to just lighten your wallet go to Big Chill for some pastries.

A must visit place when you are in Delhi and order anything, everything in the menu taste really good..

Aloo Kachori - Agra

It was a pretty decent Sunday October morning in Agra temperature hovering around 25 degrees celcius and right opposite our hotel was a place known as Pappu Kachori at Baluganj road opposite Lavania Villas.

Kachoris In the process

We were walking randomly in Agra and we asked where can we find an awesome breakfast he pointed us the place from where we started.

The Team

The place is just 8 x 8 place where inside 1 person is filling up the dough, 2nd person rolling up the dough in small circles and putting them in hot oil and 3rd person taking order from hungry junta. This is the first time I have seen a complete process of Kachori making it just looks like you are making Puri. But here they have to be cooked for a longer time. People are getting stressed, hungry, more people join in. And outside I see the 4th person making Jalebis and almost everywhere in India people do not say no to Jalebi in the morning. But for the first time I have seen them it having with Aloo Bhaji yes Jalebi mixed with Aloo Bhaji.

People waiting for the Kachori

Finally after 20+ min wait we get hot hot kachoris in our hands with Aloo bhaji curry in a small bowl. You have to crack open the Kachori let the heat out and dip it in the curry and enjoy it. Note: the curry is a spicy mix of red chilly powder, pieces of green chillies and other masalas. The 75+ odd kachoris got over in 10 mins.
We had 4 Aloo kachori, 1 dal kachori and 2 bowls of Jalebi total bill Rs. 36 and satisfaction priceless

The final product photograph were not taken as we were very very hungry and ate it. 

Food Deals - www.snapdeal.com

This is my first website review which actually has some awesome deals on restaurants with 50% to 90% discount so here it goes.

With food inflation at almost 17% going out for dinner is an expensive option at good places or wanted to gift my girlfriend a good massage or spa but one time visit is super expensive or want to beat stress join a gym but do not know which one is good try out for a month at throwaway price.

These are the things which I always think about before going out or gifting someone. And after surfing on the net (which is practically I do 10+ hours a day) I stumbled upon a website called SnapDeal

The funda is very simple and very clear, they give away discount coupons for eatery places, watering holes, spas, haircut saloons or gyms.

All you have to do is:

• Buy the coupon in the city which you stay in (currently they have 11 I think they are adding more)

• The deal is on for mostly 48 hours+  and offer period is mostly for a month.

• If you like the deal then click on the big red Buy button and pay via Internet/Credit card etc

• Make sure you look further down where you will see how much you have to pay to the merchant. How this helps is the initial amount is low and even if you do not go to the merchant your money is not wasted.

• When the deal is live take a printout of deal before time runs out.

• One important thing I have learned is you should read all the details before buying.

• The good part is the call center is always there to help you or you can chat to the customer service that is always ready to help you.

I have checked out few other website similar to snapdeal but the interface is very user friendly and no learning curve.

Ohh! Ya and they do give your first deal free with their code which you receive once you sign up with them. So when you buy something you get the deal as free for the first time but you should be entering your name and details after entering the Promo code.

Currently bought my sister a Swedish Massage deal @Tress Talk.
