Easiest appetizer: Lemon-Garlic Shrimp!

Shrimp or Prawns is not something that I have grown up eating. The nearest I used to come to eating it until a while ago was the deep-fried version that we get in food court at the mall where the crispy batter partially over-powers the taste of the shrimp itself. Not to forget, that version…

As is always the case with me, there’s a funny story involved. So, last week we had a cooked salmon fillet sitting in the…

Pretentious Grilled Chicken Momos 2 ways!

Every country does Momos a different way.  Moreover, these steamed dumplings even have various names by which they are recognized as across the globe.  In India, we stick with the Nepali term- ‘Momos’ and it is an extremely popular street-food throughout the country, especially in the northern states.
