Bhukkad In Town

One of my favourite kitchen hacks? Never underestimate leftovers.
This Makhani Egg Keema Toast started with leftover makhani gravy from the fridge and ended up becoming a breakfast I’d happily pay for at a café. Soft scrambled eggs, rich buttery makhani, sourdough toast, and a reminder that sometimes the best meals come from giving things a second chance.
Save this easy breakfast recipe for the next time you have leftover curry lying around.

If your weekend plans are looking suspiciously similar to mine (read: absolutely nothing), here’s an Achari Picante 🍸

Yes, I put aam ka achar in a cocktail.
No, I wasn’t okay when I thought of it.
And yes, it somehow works ridiculously well.

Spicy, tangy, citrusy, and probably the most Indian cocktail

Would you try an achar cocktail or am I officially out of control?

When you think of Gujarat, chicken curry probably isn’t the first dish that comes to mind. And that’s exactly why this recipe caught my attention.

Inspired by the Bohra community’s rich food culture, this glossy golden chicken curry is built with browned onions, yogurt, almonds, fennel, and layers of slow-cooked flavour. Not a traditional recipe, but a tribute to a culinary story that made me look at Gujarat a little differently.

Comment **BOHRA** and I’ll send the complete recipe card straight to your DMs.

Chandigarh’s nightlife has no shortage of bars.

What it did lack was a space built around conversations.

Recently visited .chd, Chandigarh’s first cocktail room, where the focus isn’t on loud music or crowded dance floors, but on slowing down, connecting, and enjoying a thoughtfully curated cocktail experience.

Inspired by the life of Donatella, the space revolves around 9 signature cocktails, intimate interiors, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you stay for one more conversation.

If you’re looking for a new date night spot in Chandigarh, a cocktail bar for meaningful catch-ups, or simply one of the most interesting new openings in Tricity, this deserves a place on your list.
