Five Hundred Miles Away from Home !!!



Honfleur : 13th Nov 2010

At last the anchor was up, the sails were set and off we sailed. It was a cold, raniy and sharp weekend and as the north western side of the country emereged, we found ourselves broad upon the wintry ocean, whose vast compass and huge waves pass by us without wondering but leave us stunned....



Honfleur : 12 Nov 2010



Mont St. Michel : 14 nov 2010


I see my path but I do not know where it leads. Not knowing where I am going is what inspires me to travel it....

Chicken Tikka Butter Masala !!


I dedicate this nice indian dish to the divine incitement i know, my official muse, Amandine ;)

I am big foodie and sometimes amaze myself with variety of tastes I can eat and appreciate. It helps a lot when you are in a foreign land. Although different tastes and cuisines are delicious too, sometimes you just want the some authentic native food. I used to satisfy my carving for home based food with simple cuisines (even Indian simple cuisines are too complicated and needs a balance of at least 5 spices: O and trust me disproportion of one of them can lead to a catastrophe).

But little inspiration can do wonders. With the help of some boasting and some daring, I ventured myself into some more complex Indian cuisines.

Due to augmented workload, time has become more precious. On a working day, I can hardly find time to experiment Indian cuisines food for dinner. So, as an unnoted rule, every weekend I am preparing some Indian famous dishes.

So far reviews of my cooking have been nice and my accomplishment list contains now Chicken tikka butter masala, Chicke tandoori, Chicken Briyani, Veg Briyani, Jeera rice nd Dal tadka…..


One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating and cooking.
