Recipes that can make you drool.

"People who love to eat are always the best people."
                                Julia Child.

We often wonder weather we live to eat or we eat to live. Now that is a confusing question but not for me because I very well know that I live to EAT. It is not a habit I would remind you it is my passion to taste and eat foods from different cultures and regions.

Being from a hotelier background I have been blessed to cook and taste different types of food. I have loved almost all of them yet I have few favorite recipes which blows my mind every time it is served on my table. I can't help myself but drool waiting for my food.

I still remember the day when chef announced that we were going to cook dum pakki handi mutton biryani  in the kitchen that day. My eyes and ears were on full sensation and my tongue was all set to taste the  world best delicacy. The recipe was simple yet elegant and I recorded everything in my brains drive. The biryani was damn delicious and just the thought of that delicacy makes me drool every time I think of it.

There are few more such recipes nonveg recipes to be precise which makes me drool every time I think of them. These recipes mainly consists of sea foods. Sea foods are something which do not belong to this planet according to me and they have the power of hypnosis and can control your mind.

Also the recipes that has been gifted to us by the Mughal's like keema matar, mutton darbari, biryani badshahi , sheek kabab, sahi chicken korma and etc are fabulous and are worth trying. They were so good at cooking and specially at cooking nonveg food that they have created a separate category in the terms of non vegetarian food specially.
