My Top 10 Favorite Foods #2017

-

Disclaimer : Not a fan of fine dinning - well, deserts Are an exception.
I'm someone who believes in food for the palate & Not for the eyes.
Mostly it's about quality in quantity for me.
So without much further a do..

 Here are My Top Ten Personal favorites of #2017 *including Deserts* :
#10 : Waffles *with Nutella, Strawberry & ice cream*


 The Only desert making it to the Top 10 list, Chocolate Waffles with Nutella, Strawberries and Ice cream are the Perfect combination of the three best deserts - plus a deliciously hot Waffle only adds extra Yummminess to the trio.   
#9 : Subway Salad

Healthy option Yes. Diet conscious NO.
On days when Nothing soothes the soul like the rush of fresh and juicy vegetables tossed in your favorite sauces & topped with your choice of chicken or fish. 
The Subway salad fits the bill right on point. 



#8 : Chicken / Mutton Biryani 
- Carters Blue, Charcoal Biryani

The one without which celebrations feel incomplete. 
When all you wanna Do is enjoy a grand meal with your family and friends 
- be it a festival, a special occasion or a birthday.. 
Nothing beats Biryani in bringing people together.
#7 : Khichda aka 
Chicken or Mutton Haleem 
- Mohammed Ali road

I call it - The Grand Daddy of Biryani.
A One of a kind mouth watering food item where words like "Diet" are tossed out of the park. 

 A stew composed of meat, lentils & pounded wheat made into a thick paste.
Originally an Arabic dish, introduced to the state of Hyderabad during the rule of the Nizams
- Haleem is certainly that one dish to die for on my list.  
#6 : Pasta / Risotto in Alfredo sauce with garlic bread

Pasta, Oh Pasta ! My favorite since School..
*even Risotto rice* - Dunked in thick white cheesy Alfredo, with corn, broccoli and some Bell peppers - with a dash of the right spices - a pinch of salt & sprinkles of oregano, some chilly flakes and Voila ! The perfect substitute to my Maggi cravings *& much healthier*

 When in mood to eat No food. Pasta serves you truly good.
Choice of Pasta : Penne. Duh !

#4 : South Indian tiffin / thali - Chennai

It's afternoon time amidst all the clatter of steel plates and spoons Inside one of Chennai's seemingly busiest kitchens..

The legend of dreamcatchers is one with many variants.. some say that both  - the good and the bad dreams are captured, while some Believe that good dreams slide down the feathers to those sleeping below.
