Adhyayan's thought for food

I am a non-vegetarian: Completely.u00a0 I hate vegetarian food. If I have an option I always choose non-vegetarian fare.u00a0

In vegetarian food, I like: Simple dal, paneer, aloo, rice and bhindi.u00a0

I am not exactly an early riser: But I get up early when I am working. When I am sitting at home doing nothing I would rather wake up pretty late.u00a0

The first thing I have in the morning: Green juice, it's a vegetable juice. Later, I have an apple or a boiled egg for breakfast.u00a0

My fitness regime: I work out at my friend Craig's house. I do weight training for an hour and a half. I come back home and do 40 minutes of cardio. I drink a protein shake after that because after exercise your body absorbs everything.u00a0u00a0

My lunch is usually: Dal or chicken and fat-free yogurt. I really need my proteins for lunch so chicken is a must have. When I shoot I don't usually carry my dabba. I call for roasted or grilled chicken. I don't eat unit food because it's too oily.u00a0u00a0

Throughout the day I sip: Water. I drink 5-6 litres of water every day.

In the evening I eat: A brown bread chicken sandwich.u00a0

Dinner is: Two rotis and dal. I either eat pomfret or chicken. The last thing I have at night is my dinner.

I am allergic to: Prawns.

I hate: Karela.

My childhood memories comprise: Butter chicken. I have been living on butter chicken that's why I put on so much weight.u00a0u00a0

I always carry: Buttermilk, Red Bull and green tea to a shoot.u00a0u00a0

In my fridge you will always find: Chocolates: Toblerone and Kit Kat. I love chocolates.

Sunday lunch can be: Anything from butter chicken to mutton biryani to butter naan. In the night I like to go to my favourite restaurant, Spices where I eat red Thai curry and White rice. I eat chocolate pastry for dessert.u00a0

In my family My dad cooks really good chicken but he doesn't get the time.

One dish I am an expert in making: Nothing. I would rather sit back and enjoy the food. I make tea and omelettes.

My best dining friend is: Karan, we love food. My friends are annoyed with me because for the past few years I have been going to only Spices. I don't know what's wrong with me, when I am addicted to something I only go for that.u00a0

My comfort food is: Khichdi with vegetables.u00a0

In food stuff I can't resist: I can't resist buying: Pastries. When I go to New York there are these different kinds of pastries and I have to buy them.u00a0

I feel guilty about eating: Butter chicken, two butter naans and mutton biryani. The moment I eat it I feel I have put on 3 kgs.u00a0

My hometown in Patna: From Patna I love yellow dal and aloo ki bhujiya and chawal.

My idea of a romantic meal: I don't mind sitting at home and having a candlelight dinner. Meal is a meal, you add the romance. I would like Indian food.

My favourite restaurants: In Bombay, there is Spices, Urban Tadka, Saffron, Banana Leaf and Bukhara. In Delhi, I recommend Moti Mahal and Royal China.u00a0

My favourite cuisines: Indian and Chinese.

My favourite spice: Ginger.

My favourite cooking appliance: Microwave.

My favourite beverage: Water.

My favourite poison: Coke.

My favourite fruits: Mango and orange.

I am a diehard dessert person: My favourites are chocolate pastries and Toblerones. In Indian sweets I like gulab jamun and ras malai. I adore jalebis.u00a0

On the sets of Raaz: The food was very good. We had brown bread sandwiches, tandoori chicken and yellow dal for lunch.u00a0

Adhyayan's favourite recipe: Grilled sandwich
Ingredients
