Lay back in the arms of Nature & Food

The place has to be special for it was an important moment in our lives. Post wedding and a hectic month, we wanted to just get out of our kitchens and slouch back at a place with cosy atmosphere and good food. The reason I fell for my woman is that she is a fabuous foodie and she has selected the perfect place for such a quick gateway for the entire family. It was to be Machan restaurant within the Greenwood compound. Located in the midst of natural greenery with resting peace, this place is just situated at the edge of the periphery of urban Guwahati. But, it was amazing that it preserved the natural feeling of pristine peace and laziness. I loved it.

Coming to food, did they cook some brilliant food? Oh dear! Look at those pictures and you can let your imagination take care of the taste. I always complained about a good place where you get good food, with nice yet subtle interiors, great natural exterior and that is not too far from the city. That day, I got my answer. The food was deli-sh and it won’t burn a hole in your pocket. As we were coming out, we bought some nice bakery items that were fresh like the morning sun for our evening tea in our home. An out and out complete experience in this nice place.

You should try it.

Food Sweet Food in India : Assamese Dinner in New Delhi

Love for food is pure, simple and universal. This wonderful aspect of any living being came calling to meet two wonderful persons along with an old friend who came calling at my place in Delhi. We talked, travelled, visited market places, ate, drank, chopped, cooked and at the end, ate. A wonderful evening it was captured nicely by these two people from Paris and you can have a sneak peek into the episode. The whole episode will be up and running only in some time. For the time being, please enjoy this little sojourn of gastronomy on the streets of Delhi and I’m trying to cook something from culinary tradition of my home, Assam. As they travel around the world and currently in one of my favourite food destinations, Vietnam, I wish them loads of food, experience rich with sweet, sour spices. Stay tuned for more on food!

With love from Uzbek: Qabuli Uzbek

Qabuli Uzbeki

Don’t know if it gets better than this. If you are yearning for a low light biriyani in this summer heat, then Qabuli Uzbeki is the way to go. This delicious central Asian dish is so light that you wont feel that there is any spice in it. The sumptuous sweetness that galore in your palate as you put in a spoonful in your mouth is majestic. The raisins, the skewered lamb that is so soft and succulent that it melts away, the Basmati rice and the vegetables just make it an amazement. This not so sweet not so savory Biriyani is just comforting enough to take you right there: in the elite company of blessed.  Enjoy this bliss!
