China Bowl

noreply@blogger.com (Ankush Dhiman) — Sun, 08 May 2011 00:33:00 +0000

If you are staying in North Campus (Delhi University) and you want to have good Chinese food, I could suggested you a lot of places but the newest of the lot and also the best would undoubtedly be China Bowl opposite NDPL office in Vijaynagar. It is open form 11 in the noon till around midnight depending on the crowd. The food however, is awesome. The services are world class, the price is pocket friendly and the experience is a cloud nine experience.

Yesterday two of our Platterians were plattered by the amazing staffs at China Bowl. Divya and Shilpa were there to have their Friday lunch. Shilpa says, “What I like about China Bowl is that their staffs and services have a standard matched by none other in the whole of the campus.” Moreover, her economical temperament craves for China Bowl more and more with every visit.

Today, it was Ankush’s turn to be swiped off his feet. His tummy was full up to the brim however; he was still literally dragged to the restaurant by Shilpa. He was like “Awesome”. He was pleased with the services provided to us the moment we stepped in the restaurant. Remember that he has done Hotel management which means that it is really difficult to please him with just average services.

Divya was first bowled over by their Ice tea and then by their crisp and salty and delicious fried wanton. She was a scene to look at. She exclaimed, “Whoooooa… I have never had such amazing fried wanton.”

The average Cost per person: Rs 60 – 120

The best part: Services, Ambiance and Pocket friendly prices.

Shilpa goes gaga over: Gravy Manchurian

Ankush would forever look forward to a visit for: Baby Corn (Salt and pepper)

Divya Fell in love with: Ice Tea (Completely different from McDonalds’) tastes a little tangy and has a soothing effect in a summer afternoon.

They deliver across Campus for free.

However, I suggest that if you really want to pamper yourself feel free to visit and experience it for yourself.

South Indian Food in New Delhi

noreply@blogger.com (Ankush Dhiman) — Mon, 02 May 2011 16:16:00 +0000

Date : April, 10, 2011

Occasion : Ankush's birthday

Venue : Coveted Sarvana Bhawan

Feeling : Exaltation

Wait Time: Half an hour

After so many days of giving up hope, today I was pretty sure that I would eat out at Sarvana bhawana and I made it. Fortunately. Ankush has been staying here in Delhi and has yet never been to the place so, it was a big thing for him. I had been waiting to have good south Indian food for the past 6 months so, it was amazing for me as well.

Well, we started with Sweet Dahi vada. Does it not look delicious? It indeed was. we then ordered Utthapam and a Dosa. These were also good as usual.

Once again Sarvana Bhavan earns my appreciation for serving the kind of south Indian they do. It is wonderful and lingering.

Once you go there, you can;t help going the next time no later. I strogly recommend it to all south Indian Food lovers staying in Delhi.

It was an absolute wonderful Saturday at Haldirams, Netaji....

noreply@blogger.com (Ankush Dhiman) — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 20:47:00 +0000

It was an absolute wonderful Saturday. First it was the delightful weather in morning which added beauty to the weekend. Since morning wanted to go out for change but somehow certain petty household related things kept me busy...But finally at 8 o'clock, I realized that that the day was about to get finished.

I was not all ready to let this day go without doing anything.. Then we ( Papa, Mumma & obviously me) decided to take dinner outside.. But again there was little confusion where to go, after so much brainstorming we landed up at Halidrams in Neta Ji subhash palace...

The moment we entered the place, I just felt wow! The ambiance was so good.. It was fully crowded. People around were enjoying various delicacies and it further grew my hunger.. I was already sure that I was to eat noodles and mixed salad.. Finally we ordered noodles, salad, bhature chhole ( though I m not really fond of bhature chhole, but it was papa's choice ) and in drinks mummy papa preferred taking sweet lassi (buttermilk) and I took pineapple ice cream soda... ooh it was just perfect, finger licking food..

What I found best about this chain that the waiting time for getting the order was really less, usually there is a system at other chains of restaurants that u're allotted some no. and u have to wait for long and by the time your no is announced, u almost get frustrated but here u only had to give coupon at respective counter n get your order in maximum 5 minutes. So this is how I made my day..... ( Now it's time to burn some extra calories after having yummy food )

I would really suggest u to try haldirams at Neta ji with ur frenz or family.....

Aromas of China

I generally go there in the afternoon for the buffet and I assure you that it is amazing. It is worth whatever it costs.

They have got everything from vegetarian to non vegetarian food. The sweet dishes they serve is amazing. I am in love with the ambience there, however, I don't like the music. May be I don't have the taste and nerves for chinese music.

I specifically recommend you to try noodles and momos there. It is a treat for all those souls who have ever craved for authentic chinese and have not really felt good after trying it somewhere.

Honest confession is that I started liking chinese once I had chinese here. So, all those who love chinese and their friends cant stand it, please treat them here and bless me forever.

Go, try and cherish the experience.

Bercoz

Famous for*: Chinese
Food Type *: Chinese & Thai
Outlet type*: Restaurant
Avg food cost per person Rs.*: 500
Home Delivery*: Don't know
Timings (optional): 11am to 11pm.

The Rani Bagh Bercos is right next to Domino's. I have tried this place on couple of occasions & found it nice- though the decor is in need of remodeling.
As from the menu;I would suggest all to must try Crispy honey chicken or lamb in appetizers; they both are exceptionally good in taste.
In the main course we ordered Shredded lamb in hot garlic sauce with chili garlic noodles. An advice if you are a large group of people out at Bercoz- their combo meals is also very nice, which serves 1 soup/appetizer/main course/rice or noddles/dessert- this combo is priced at 500 for 2 which is not a bad deal.

One doesn't need to call in for reservations as usually I have noticed this place to be relatively empty as its surrounded by punjabi restaurants.

My final word over Bercos- a decent place to eat out Chinese cuisine that suits within budget.

Momos

noreply@blogger.com (Ankush Dhiman) — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 23:18:00 +0000

Refined Vegetable Oil - 5 table spoon

Cabbage - 2

Carrot - 2

Onion - 5

Capsicum - 1

Vineger - 2 to 3 spoon

Chilli sauce- 2 spoon

Salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

Flour(maida)

Water for steam

FOR MOMO'S SAUCE

Red Dry Chilli-10 to 15

Tomato - 2

Salt o taste

Water

Vineger - 2 spoon

Recipe:

Chop all the vegetables into very small pieces.

Take a frying pan. Pour Oil and add onions. Stir for a while till the onions turn transluscent. Next add rest of the vegetables one by one. Starting with cabbage, capsicum and then carrot. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Next pour 2 table spoon full of vinegar and 2 tea spoons full of chilly sauce. The stuffing is now ready. Set aside to cool down.

Take the flour (maida) and add water to make stiff dough. We can now make small rolls ready to be filled out by pinching off a small ball of dough and rolling each ball in your palms until you have a smooth ball of dough. Then, you can use a rolling pin to flatten out the dough into a circle, making the edges more thin than the middle. Now that you have a small, flat, circular piece of dough, you are ready to add the filling and give the momo shape. You can give it any shape of your choice. However, the easiest is half moon shape and the most commonly used is round dumpling shape.

For both shapes, you will need to put one circle of dough in your left hand, and add a tablespoonful of filling in the center of the dough. With your right hand, begin to pinch the edge of the dough together. You don't need to pinch much dough in the first pinch -- just enough to make a small fold between your thumb and forefinger.

This is how you fill all the momos one by one. Now these are ready to be steamed. Please be careful that you place the momos upside down. That is folded part downwards and the smooth part upwards. The reason being that the smooth side is too delicate to bear the steam directly. If we keep the smooth side downwards they will get torned. Steam these momos in an idli/dhokla utensil for about 10 minutes. Or you can also fry them.

Sauce:

Grind 10 chillies and a small tomato in mixer. Add pepper, salt, one table spoon Vinegar and a little water to give it a thick consistency.

Burgers, French Fries, Coke and Ice-cream at Sarvana Bhavan

noreply@blogger.com (Ankush Dhiman) — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 15:13:00 +0000

How my routine goes for a toss on weekends, is a shameful thing to admit. I would still choose to admit it. Another weekend and another lunch to worry about this Saturday afternoon.

One of my friends had suggested me to eat at Sarvana Bhavan. Rohit Vaish had commented “They have awesome South Indian Food” I was determined to have my lunch there today and I ordered burgers, French fries and coke.

Surprised about the conflict between the menu and the venue?

Don’t be. This was my 6^th attempt to have South Indian lunch at Sarvana Bhavan near Janpath. As usual, I was too hungry to wait and they were too crowded to allow me in. Thus, I took a few more steps and landed myself at Mc Donald’s Outlet.

Sarvana Bhavan is considered to be the paradise kitchen for all those who are in love with Idlis and sambhar and Vada and lemon rice.

I just remembered that I once had Dahi Vada from there and it was awesome too. A real treat. Their coffee is a little different and amazing. It is served hot in a steel glass replacing bone china cup and a steel katori in place for saucer.

So, you are requested and urged and invited to SarvanaBhavan next weekend to have lunch with me. The only thing is either you should have it either a little earlier than usual or a little later. Or else, be prepared to follow the queue and wait a little between 12:30 to 4:00. I am thinking of arranging an online table booking system for them. Hope it happens soon enough. Amen!

Salt to taste
5 small dry red chilies (or to taste)
8 Curry Leaves
1 medium onion (shallots are preferable)

1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1 large tomato
2 tablespoons sambar powder
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves (also known as coriander leaves)
1 cup of a vegetable of your choice like green beans, chopped carrot

Directions:
Soak the tamarind in 1 cup water for 20 minutes. Squeeze it out, adding water little by little to prepare 1 cup of juice.
Choose a heavy cooking pot. Wash and clean the dal. Boil 2 cups of water and add the dal, turmeric powder and 1 teaspoon of oil. As the dal boils, skim off the foam and discard. Boil until the dal is soft and then mash it coarsely. If needed, add more water as it is boiling but do not let it get too watery. If you use a pressure cooker it will take about 5 minutes.

Every one in Delhi knows that Moti Mahal is primarily famous for Butter chicken since ages, which I definitely recommend, But also a must try is the Pudina paneer tikka which is so soft & fresh. Also must try is Achari Chicken tikka.

P.S. Moti Mahal is not the place to order drinks. They are way to expensive in terms of liquor rates.

In the name of strong Sweet tooth....

noreply@blogger.com (Ankush Dhiman) — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 18:49:00 +0000

When you are going through a very sad and boring weekend and your friends are partying hard; you need something great to feel alright. All my friends were partying at Cafe9 in CP when it was raining and the weather was awesome. On such an evening, Ankush and I were sitting in a cyber café waiting for Dale to wake up. Huger caught on us and we decided to make a move.

Plattershare will always have a special column for sweet toothed people and if you really want to pamper your sweet tooth on a stormy and windy evening, head out to Patel Nagar. There in the corner (Behind Patel Nagar Bus Stand) you would find a small jalebi shop which sells crisp and yummy jalebis. This was my refuge today. I might have missed out on a lot of things but this jalebi, no doubt, compensated for every bit of the missed fun.

Check out Friends. I swear by my sweet tooth that you won’t be disappointed and you definitely won’t give Chandni Chowk a thought next time you want to have jalebis.

What All Can we do here?
