Yes you read it right Sugar/Shakhar Paratha, this is one Paratha which I never say no when Mom ask for it and also it is less hassle for her coz she only has to make Sugar Paratha (Shakar Paratha)
Preparation of Shakhar Paratha/Sugar Paratha :
1. Knead the dough with 1/2 tablespoon oil and sufficient amount of water. The dough should be a little tougher than your average pizza dough.
2. Keep the dough aside for 1/2 an hour.
3. On your kitchen board, sprinkle a little dry flour. Make balls of the dough you had kneaded.
4. Roll one ball at a time into a circle and sprinkle sugar onto it
5. Fold the edges in wards like you do in a dumpling, ensuring that no filling is exposed.
6. Roll this dumpling so that it becomes a proper round again.
7. Very gently roll the ball in to a flat not to thin circle.
8. Heat a skillet to medium temperature. Grease it with oil, then cook both the sides of the Paratha, by flipping it over, so that the sides brown properly.
9. Your Shakhar Paratha is ready to eat.
You can eat it with Tomato Sauce.
Note this stuff can be very very hot from inside so eat it slowly

Suryavanshi Paan Bandar - A Paan for everyday
I used to go to his place at times but not that frequently, during Ganesh Chaturti after having meal, friends decided for some paan and we ended up at Suryavanshi.
What is Chutney? Chutney is a sweet flavored masala put to give taste to paan.
So if you do want to try a different Paan try Suryavanshi Chocolate Paan only for Rs. 15

Paradise - Heavenly Food
Fifth Day of Ganesh Chaturti me and my friend Kaiwan decided on going to eat somewhere out as we left late from office. After contemplating of 100 of places we decided going to Paradise. Located near Strand Cinema if you walk/drive by too fast you will miss it.
We enter to an empty restaurant due to the fact that it was Visarjan day and people were scared to move out, place has some really awesome painting on the walls about Adam and Eve which we were laughing our ass out.
We started by ordering the Chicken Lolly which is a potato based and chicken filled inside it. Top it with a yellow mayo which you wont get anywhere else was super tasty. We had Roghan Chicken with it, the taste was like one made at home.
Then round 2 started where we had Chicken Cheese Roll, they did not mind putting a super hell lot of cheese in the food and we were happy a lot. Thinking we could have more we ordered Chicken Dhanshak and Chicken Pattie. We had so much we could barely walk and the total bill was Rs. 770 only without tax (management is going to introduce VAT from this week)
Address:
Sindh Chambers
Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, Near Strand Cinema

Flag - A Veg Multi Cuisine
Have being going to this place for ages, my first visit was during my college days after a movie had whole sizzler and then forgot about the place.
Family said why not try it out and i said ok...so for past 3 years we are regular infact more i guess. I say it is my family celebration restaurant coz i never get tired of eating at this joint.
Place was started by a guy who came down from States after doing his Hotel Management course and then taken over by a South Indian Management, which at first sucked coz they started serving dosa also, but later got into the groove.
The place has it all Indian Mughlai but not the regular Navratan and Kolhpure fare but something like Tiranga and other supremely tasty dishes. Don't miss on the Cheese Masala Papad...no one makes in Mumbai i guess...Grated Cheese over Masala Papad super awesome.
Sizzlers, they have around 10 of these and they make them really well from the Indian style to Italian to American to Mexican to Chinese, quantity is quite good and cost way cheaper the Yokos and Kobe.
Chinese, we don't have those much except Veg Humpty Dumpty which is Manchurian and spicy french fries.
Mexican, they do have some wicked Alfredo Corn Nachos super pipping hot cheese and corn with crispy nachos do work wonders as my sister always wants one of these. Burritos and ENCHILADAS are brilliant and tasty.
Italian, did not have pasta alot but their Cheese Garlic Bread is superb and bruschetta al pomodoro is purely wicked never had anything better anywhere in Mumbai.
To end it all have Black and White, hot chocolate with brownie and ice creame.
They do also organise parties and kitties so all you veggies this is heaven for you.

Fishland - Hyderabad
My first visit to Hyderabad and was high on having Chicken Biryani, after going to Osman Sagar and doing some nature walk, garden next to Hussain Sagar we decided to check out for some Biryani, friend who has being staying in Hyderabad for last 3 years.
We end up going to FishLand in Ameerpet which is on first floor and also have Special Andhra Thali in the afternoon from Monday to Saturday.
Being a Saturday, we were scared we would not get place to sit and there would be waiting luckily got seats for 3 as soon as we got in. The menu was mix of Chinese and Muglai food. So the veggie guy went for Paneer Chilly which we had a bite in, Paneer was soft and spiciness was proper. We ordered for Tangdi Kabab and Fish Tikka.
Fish Tikka was soft and could be cut by toothpick and was a bit spicy and tangy which i liked and quantity was around 8 - 9 big chunks of Fish Pieces. Tangdi Kabab was juicy but had a lil bit more pepper than intended.
As we were all full by the Starters coz of the huge quantity which i always like in a hotel, we planned to have only one Veg Dish which was Baby Corn Mushroom Masala a typical fare nothing to write about.
Service was a bit lethargic as they forgot the Masala Papad which i had ordered with the veggies and the waiters were too in a holiday mood.
But let that not deter you from going there coz food is tasty and in good quantity.
