'Pakistani Stalls in Exhibition at Himachal Bhawan, Chandigarh, April 2011' - by K J S Chatrath
Earlier there used to be some Pakistani stalls in the annual exhibition organised by the C.I.I. in Chandigarh. One of the popular part used to be their small Food Court. Here are some photos from such an exhibition that I visited in April 2011.
'Dal Tadka- a popular Indian dish' - K J S Chatrath
Dal Tadka- a popular Indian dish. As compared to Indian cuisine, cooking of food the world over seems almost primitive. No offence is meant to any country but truth has to be told! Indian food- The best food on planet earth. Come visit my India! (Photo credit: Tasty Indian Recipes)
'Thali' food at India International Centre, New Delhi' - by K J S Chatrath
I am lucky to have become a full member of the India International Centre, New Delhi over two decades back. This place has an excellent academic ambience, organises great programmes and has accomodation for short stay. It has a bar and is also popular for its food. A few months back I went there around dinner time and ordered a vegetarian 'thali. What arrived was very colourful, good looking and sumptuous. But sadly it was absolutely bland. No spices, no chillies and very little salt soeemed to have been used. On top of that the catering staff were chatting loudly all the time creating avoidable din. I finished my food with some effort. May be those looking after kitchen think that all aged members, and there are quite a few, love bland food. No, they do not. Would be grateful if IIC introduces something like a 'Spicy Thali'.
