Taste has to do with more than just the masala and the ingredients. Am just listing 4 additional factors...
1. Hunger - when you are hungry stuff automatically tastes 100 times better.
2. Love - food cooked by your wife/ mum always tastes better
3. Narcissism - i think i am a great cook
4. Expectation - The chicken bharta which is so bloody good at Ballygunj Phari Dhaba would be scorned at, at the ITC Maratha.
This is why the Bhuna Chicken at Uday Spice deserves a mention. Very tasty and value for money, and certainly far better than you would expect from the look of the shop.
Feroz and me discussing details of travelling to Mecca and how they figure out who is a Muslim and who is not apparently you cannot go into the holy area if you are not Muslim and do not hold a green pass...One full plate of Chicken Bhuna and 4 Rotis - a fantastic meal for two...Rs 100 only and fully worth it!!
How to get there: Uday Spice is on Andheri Kurla Road, opposite Apple Heritage building. If you are on the Western Express highway driving towards Kandivali from Bandra, do not take the Andheri flyover, take the 3rd and final right under the flyover. You will hit Andheri Kurla Road. Drive straight on past the MIDC/ Marol exit on the left. Uday Spice will be on the right so you will have to take a U Turn. Parking may be a problem. They do not have valets.
I am a proud Bengali and a prouder Indian. I love my food and my travel. Am also a crazy sports fan and the fortunes of Indian Cricket, Kolkata Knight Riders and East Bengal (just to name a few) affect me more than they should. The blog will contain information on 1. Food 2. Travel 3. Sport 4. My country, my state and myself. Hopefully this will be moderately consistent. Readable. And enable me to write a book linking travel, food and sport in some wierd combination sometime in the future.
