Gau Mutra (cow pee) is known as a super drink in India. On its own gau mutra has a foul acidic taste, so I thought what better to balance it out than by mixing it with sweet lassi. Introducing Karl’s Yellow Happiness Yoghurt Drink. Ingredients (makes 1 litre) 700ml thick cold yoghurt 200ml cold water […]
I wasn’t aware of Indore being a foodaholic city until the moment I reached there and saw Sev-Poha-Jalebi shops all around the city. The people of Indore are known as “Indoris” and they call themselves “Khawda” – a term that means they can eat a lot and at any time of the day, as you […]
I’ve made this zesty Indian dry mutton fry recipe many times now! It’s a staple at my apartment and everyone who tries it loves it. It’s healthy and goes perfectly with roti – but not so much with rice because this is a dry curry. I initially found the recipe on YouTube, but it’s in […]
I love Iranian food. When I worked in IT, my 2 Iranian colleagues and I would order from an Iranian families home delivery service once a week. During my last week at the office, I told the guys, “We’re ordering Iranian every day this week!” That was a tasty week. The Iranian Cafe in Pune […]
I first stepped foot in Britannia & Co. in Mumbai’s historical and beautiful Fort area with two Parsi friends the very first time I visited India. Back then, I had no idea what Parsi food was, but I was about to find out. Read on to find out what makes this my favourite restaurant in all […]

Thanks to CNN’s interview with Britannia’s owner Boman Kohinoor, we have the real Sali Chicken recipe straight from the man himself. Unfortunately, Mr Kohinoor […]

While in Hyderabad, I went behind the scenes at my friend’s wedding to give you an inside look at a Muslim wedding. Experience the marriage contract ceremony, after party, and watch the cooks in action backstage as they prepare a royal feast! If you’re like me and love food and want to see more of […]
If you want to make masala chai exactly how a Chaiwala does on the streets of New Delhi then there’s quite a big difference to my simple Simple Masala Chai (Indian Milk Tea) Recipe. This is the recipe I’ve learnt from the streets of Delhi. I’ve included a video of how it’s made at the bottom […]
The best way to describe Pahargunj is “hell on earth.” Along with the rest of Old Delhi, it’s the worst place you can possibly stay in India. It features drug addicts shooting up on the side of the road, prostitution, thieves, scammers, rats, and every other nasty you can imagine. Such a negative description is […]
Whenever I go to Hyderabad, there are two things I must eat: Biryani and Haleem. Good Biryani is easy enough to get around India. But Haleem isn’t it. Haleem is a dish mainly served in cities with large Muslim populations, like Hyderabad, during Ramadan (a Muslim time of fasting). The reason being that its preparation […]
