India is a country with great obsession
for cricket, films and food. We may be divided by languages and states, but we
all share a common love for food. Being a film fanatic and a food lover, I have
always been fascinated by the drool-worthy food that our cinema brings to the
big screen. From the mouth-watering dabbas in ‘Stanley ka Dabba’ to the delectably described bourguignon in ‘Julie
and Julia’, the glimpses of food from across the world gives foodies like me a
major high! Though shows like MasterChef Australia enjoy immense patronage in
India, a food-loving country such as ours needs frequent doses of food-porn!
So, when you are in the middle of
a never-ending meeting or stuck in the traffic, even a glimpse of delicious
food can satiate you. This is when I stumbled upon a great food blog, curated
by a dear friend of mine – Curious Appetite! Curious Appetite gives a peek into
finger-licking good food, that gives you an instant rush! While I loved all of
their posts, listing a few favourites here:
Eat like a King when served like a King: Bored of the usual fare at
home or the typical menu at most restaurants? A sumptuous and lavish Thali is
the answer! Just like Jodhaa’s rich and extravagant Thali for Akbar (Jodhaa Akbar – 2008), this Thali from
Curious Appetite got me all drooling! Continue reading while I run to Ardor 2.1
for this Thali - RIGHT NOW!
Easy on the pockets and pleasing for the tummy: Not every delicious
meal you eat out must pinch your pockets. Like DJ (Aamir Khan) relishes food at
his mother’s Dhaaba (Rang De Basanti -
2004) and says – Dhabe mein maa ke
haath ka khana milta hai! And this post of garma-garam Amristari Kulcha
with dollops of butter, served with Dhaba-style Chhole and Pyaaz ki Chutney can
make anyone salivate and run to the nearest dhaba! I think I have got your
weekend plans sorted – head to a dhaba and relish such kulchas!
Khata Rahe Mera Dil: If the South is synonymous with Idli-Sambaar,
Chole Bhature can be declared the staple diet of the North! Making us drool
every Sunday, Curious Appetite brings to us handpicked restaurants and eateries
that serve delicious Chole Bhature, turning our Sundays #TemptingSundays. Like
Chef Roshan Kalra (Saif Ali Khan in Chef
- 2017) says, “World ke Best Chhole
Bhature Dilli mein milte hai”, I am craving for this Dilli-wali delightful
spread of tangy chhole and crispy bhature from Billi Di Hatti.
Comfort Food Craves: There are days when we treat our tummies to a
rich and lavish spread at restaurants. But some days, we crave for our comfort
food like the humble kadi - chawal or the evergreen combo of naan with dal
makhni. Curious Appetite gets us glimpses of such food as well, such as this
heavenly spread from Empress Delhi or the crispy fritters from Bahadurgarh!
Delish Desserts: It wouldn’t be wrong to declare that a majority of
us Indians have a sweet tooth. People like us don’t say cheese when we click
pictures. We say sweets! (Bad joke, I Know!) But Curious Appetite has an eye
for some of the most yummilicious desserts and shakes, and they regularly post
tons of pictures and videos on their account! Check out these lick-worthy,
chocolate-laden ice creams! Slurping at these pics right now!
