Hello, my name is Varun and I am not a
personal chef. I am just an extreme food lover, who enjoys learning how to cook
different, delicious types of food. My passion for cooking started since
childhood. Being of Indian origin, I have learned several authentic Indian
recipes from both, my mother and grandmother. The cuisine of India is known for
its fabulous use of herbs and spices. We use flavors of spicy, sour, sweet, and
hot in combination to produce mouth-watering dishes. In this blog, I am taking
you on a culinary adventure with different cuisines from India. The first dish
I would like to introduce you to is a well-known favorite, Chicken Tikka Masala.
