It's all about Food

 Hello Food Lovers. Have you ever tried Irani chai/tea? It is a blend of spices mixed with tea leaves and a hearty splash of whole milk or condensed milk. I always make it a point to include it in my order whenever I visit an Irani restaurant/cafe no matter the time. Today, I am going to share with you my favorite low-budget Irani restaurants. They not only serve delicious food but have their very own in-house bakery as well. Hope you will give them a try as well. 1. Kyani & Co. The first time I visited Kyani was way back in 2010. Me and my high school friends went to check out the Prince of Wales Museum (renamed  Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya). We were starving on the way back and haven't had much cash so one of my friends suggested this place and It became one of my go-to places ever since. We had bun maska pav and tea, and bhurji and pav and irani omelette. They have a hearty selection of cakes as well. The restaurant has an antic vibe to it and yo...

 Hello My Lovely Readers. Today, I am going to share with you a street-style Ragda patties recipe. It is a shallow fried potato patty that is crispy on the outside and soft inside topped with savory dried peas curry and served with spicy chili-coriander chutney and sweet and tangy tamarind chutney. You can also add a scoop of beaten yogurt and sev on top to enhance the flavor. It is one of the popular street food in Mumbai and we are going to make it from scratch which will be if not tastier than the street one then at least more hygienic.

 H ello Food Lovers. If you live in India you would most likely know that there is a wide craze in India for momos. It is considered the top street food in India and has a market size of approximately 3 billion dollars. It is believed that momos came to India at the start of the latter half of the 20th Century when Tibetans came to the country.  Over a decade ago, They used to be either fried or steamed. But nowadays, We can get them in tandoori, as a momo-pizza, pan-tossed, and in many other forms. There are many big chains as well: Wow Momos, Momo Co., Mad Momos, etc which are pretty well-loved across India. So, Today I am going to let you in on my favorite momo spots in Thane. 1.
