''KHAANA-KHAZANA''........... Review on My Ten Most Favorite Food Items

Let me begin this review by saying that I love eating....................i am a foodie,i relish it but then who doesn't love food?I have also come across people who say that they live to eat,i am not one of those...........but I do love food and mostly INDIAN,nothing like the taste of INDIAN food...................there is so much vareity here,so many good spices,really is yummy and mouth-watering.As much as I lenjoy eating,i enjoy and like cooking too...................it gives you an idea about all the kinds of food and how they r cooked...............since I love eating its difficult to choose just ten food items of my choice coz I can literally eat anything and enjoy it too...................but still i'll pick some and divide them into catogories.......................

BEVERAGES.............

AAM PAANA.......................since I am a NORTH-INDIAN,we have lots of stuff made at home like gazar-kaanji for winters and aam-pana for summers...................its very refreshing and healthy,if you fall ill in the heat...............it 'll also be used as a medicine.Its made out of raw mangoes,sugar and salt...................and its so tasty that once if you have it,you'll forget all the cold-drinks,juices and 'll be hooked to it.We call AAM-PANA a summer drink...............at home.

JALJEERA....................is a kind of appetiser which we have mostly before having food,its also consumed mostly during summers..................i love the taste of it and if its served chilled then ...............it tastes even better.

FOOD ITEMS...................(difficult to pick)

DAL MAKHANI-NAN.............................i have stayed in Punjab also for sometime and I had a taste of their food and DAL MAKHANI with naan,esp if you are eating at the road-side dhabba is so tasty..................my mouth is watering at the thought of it.The way its cooked there,on bhattis and choolah................you cannot get the same tsate anywhere else.............really one of my favourite food items.

SEEKH KABAB-ROOMALI ROTIS.........................along with onions and chutney,is like the best food one can have.......................esp at the road-side.I love the taste of seekh-kebabs with those finely chopped onions,esp the ones you get at LUCKNOW..................if you have not tasted the non-veg served there(SHIKHAWAT),you have not tasted anything....................DELICIOUS.

PURI-KACHORI-AALOO SABZI.....................this again is your athentic food item of north,and its eaten and available only in the morning time for breakfast...................you get it mostly on thelas and it tastes really good,though its slightly heavy...............because of all the oil and stuff but it tastes so good...................that you cannot resist it,atleast I cannot...............

BUTTER-CHICKEN-NAAN.....................this normally you get everywhere,its common....................but it has always been my favourite food item,at one TIME it was like if anybody asked me what you would like to eat I would always say butter-chicken-naan,i love the taste of the masalas in butter chicken...............yummy.

MUTTON BIRYANI....................the ANDHRA STYLE,which I ate at BHEEMA'S and NAGARJUNA(B'LORE)is like the most tasty and mouth-watering biryani you'll get to eat anywhere.......................its so spicy,esp if you have it with chilli chicken.................but the taste...................just mind-blowing.

PAANI-PURI-ALLO KI TIKKI..................i don't think there can be anyone who doesn't like the taste of paani puri and aloo tikki,the chaat items...............the masalas,chutneys and all is yum..............and if you want a real taste of chaat then you should go northwords,they make unbeleivably tasty chaat..................one of my favourite food items.I JUST CANNOT SAY NO TO CHAAT........................

DAL-ROTI-BHINDI KI SABZI....................cooked by mummy,the best food on earth.Simple,healthy...................and very very tasty and the way my mother cooks it..................its delicious.

SWEETDISH....................

My list of food-items cannot be complete without the mention of sweet-dish................i have a major sweet tooth.and I feel if I don't have something sweet to eat...............after having my food,i feel there is something missing,its incomplete for me..............my most favourite sweet dish is...............

RASMALIA...................and hot GULAB-JAMUNS................ I am like crazy for them,can have them any time of the day...................and any number.The most delicious thing in the whole wild world.

CHAWAAL KI KHEER..................cooked by my mother,its really tasty................with lots of nuts and elaichi powder for flavour and when served cold really tastes good.
