Pind Balluchi, NOIDA

By Siddhartha Singh • May 26th, 2010 • Category: Restaurants in NOIDA, Reviews

Siddhartha Singh goes to Pind Balluchi and comes back mostly satisfied. Considering his high standards and wide exposure, I think the rest of us would do well to blindly flock to Pind Balluchi whenever the heart desires Punjabi food.

By Vinny • Mar 9th, 2010 • Category: Recipes

This is a South Indian version of the North Indian favorite Methi Malai Matar. The use of corn kernels make for an interesting variation from the tried and tested classic version of this dish.

Have you tried Eatopia at India Habitat Centre recently? Either way, you must try their new parathas!

Solah Parath Paratha

By Vinny • May 1st, 2009 • Category: Recipes

This is a sixteen layered paratha (lightly fried, Indian flatbread) that is delicious with curd and a vegetable preparation of tomatoes and potatoes. It may just a wee bit high in calories though!



Yellow Chilli, Pacific Mall, Ghaziabad

By Sid Khullar • Feb 26th, 2009 • Category: Reviews

(2/5) Yellow Chilli started off with a big bang a few years back, when everyone expected restaurants with the Sanjeev Kapoor name to be benchmarks of quality, ambience, service and customer satisfaction. A few years on, this chain is one of the many ‘has beens’, which cannot really differentiate itself in any manner. We happened [...]



Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24: Punjabi Winter Warmth

By Sid Khullar • Jan 2nd, 2009 • Category: Columns

I’ve dabbled with different types of cooking, but never really paid a great deal of attention to my roots – Punjabi food. Perhaps I’d had enough of Punjabi food or maybe it was too much hard work, but most of my focus was on western and East Asian cooking. It isn’t that I don’t cook [...]



Dona Sylvia, Goa

(2/5) We had friends over from Madras who wanted to visit Centrestage Mall. Being vegetarians, ‘Taste of India’ appealed to them, and off we went. Before I begin describing our visit, one thing should be clear – Taste of India is no more about food, service, quality, ambience or experience. It is purely about convenience. [...]



The myth of the Indian Curry

By Sid Khullar • Jan 12th, 2008 • Category: Columns

I’ve been hearing about the ‘Indian Curry’ for quite a while, from multiple sources. I’ve seen it in restaurant menus in the UK ‘Vegetables with Indian Curry’, seen it published on websites – someone asks ‘how do you make Indian Curry?’, and a kindly (uninformed) soul pops out of nowhere and shares a recipe for [...]
