TGI Fridays Review, Metropolitan Mall, MG Road Gurgaon

TGI Fridays Gurgaon Review, Metropolitan Mall, MG Road Gurgaon It was a surprise visit by my friend Amit Uppal this gone Wednesday who was in transit to Ahmedabad and had a few hours in NCR before his flight took off. By the time he arrived, we were famished and our food talks got us driving towards TGI Fridays located at the Metropolitan Mall in Gurgaon. TGI Fridays used to be a haunt in the years gone past. We descended hungrily on the TexMex restaurant and found not much had changed except for some bits of reorganisation. The restaurant was moderately occupied and that is a good sign especially on a Wednesday afternoon. Amit wanted a beef steak which was unavailable due to a ridiculous ban on beef in the state of Haryana. So we dug into the menu again and lined up a medley of Grilled Salmon Caesar Salad, a Jack Daniel’s Sampler & Almond Crusted Fish & Jalapeno Shrimp. It was actually a lot of food for two of us. The service was funny to start with since we had to request fo

Shami Kebab Recipe - Melt in the Mouth Deliciousness

Image
Mutton Shami Kabab Recipe – Melt in the mouth deliciousness Mutton Shami Kabab is found all over the Indian sub continent. These appetizers or snacks are an integral part of Indian, Pakistani & Bangladeshi cuisines. Mutton shami kababs are rather delicate and delicious. My all-time favorites have been the ones at Wengers’ and they are now priced at a princely sum of Rs. 70 each. Just yesterday I decided to get my hands dirty with these and here we are with my take on making scrumptious mutton shami kababs. These ones beat Wengers’ Shami kababs hands down. They are flavourful, decadent and really melt in the mouth. If you disapprove of mutton, you can try these with chicken too. Relish by themselves or with some spicy  mint coriander chutney .

Kadhi Pakoda Recipe, Spicy Punjabi Kadhi Pakoda Recipe Kadhi pakoda (split bengal gram dumplings) is a very popular Punjabi dish. It is always there on the weekly menu. Actually, Kadhi  is frequently made in households over Northern India, though styles vary greatly. For example, the Punjabis like their Kadhi thick as compared to people from Uttar Pradesh who like it to be a bit runny. Kadhi pakoda is a dish prepared in Dera Ismail Khan as well and has been a regular part of our household meals. The version below is quite close to it.
