Shiro, Bangalore – Awesomely awesome

The new paycheck came in, and celebrations were in order. We headed over to UB city and made a bee line for quite easily, one of the swankiest restaurants I’ve seen in India. Shiro is known for its oriental fare – Japanese specifically – and getting a table wasn’t easy. The place was packed and [...]

A Breeze, Bangalore. Featuring: Murgh Makhni, Shawarma and Batman

I took a walk around the guest house a couple of days back and came across a restaurant called A Breeze. Seriously. It had an A in the name. Like an initial or something. Like the A in my name stands for my pop’s name. That kind of an ‘A’. Very odd. Why the article? [...]

Aalagadda Mamsam – Mutton curry with Potatoes

I made mutton curry for lunch on Sunday. Decided to go with Aalagadda Mamsam – a classic South Indian mutton curry with potatoes in it. I chopped three large onions and set them to brown with a bayleaf. While this was happening, I started getting the base ready for my gravy. I ground up around [...]
