What is your favourite food memory from childhood?

My childhood was simple and cool rather than kids these days have plenty of unhealthy food choices. I can still feel the Green chicken curry taste in my mouth prepared by my mom during Christmas when I was in really young.

Another memory is during the summer vacations. We used to eagerly wait for ice candy seller who used come on a bicycle. Hearing the sound of the ringing bell, we all kids used to run out to take our pick of ice candies in different colours. Those were the days and these candies were our OMG moments.

What’s your favourite comfort food?

Red rice porridge, chutney, fish fry, pickle and papad. Quite typical from where I come.

Food is one of my passions. I have been a foodie since I have been in college. And i am happy to travel for food since its one of the best ways to learn about culture. I love to explore diverse regional food. My tasted experimentations vary from homemade food to street food, restaurants to five star hotels. I am someone who appreciates and love eating good food. My palate is adventurous, willing to try anything new once. Yes, I do some dishes I wouldn’t try.

Your take on:

Keto diets – I have never tried the Keto diet. My knowledge about it limited to what I have read about it.

Intermittent fasting – Intermittent fasting doesn't change what you eat, but it changes when you eat. So if you eat a healthy meal and follow the time carefully, it definitely helps you to reduce weight in a month or so. I have tried this for a month.

Fusion food cuisine – Apple Jalebi with gulab ice cream and Mexican rajma sandwich are some of the fusion foods I have tried.

Which super foods have impressed you the most?

Nuts, haldi, coconut, blueberry, Ragi, drumstick leaves and porridge.

What are your favourites? 

Indian street food –Pani Puri and Dahi puri 

Indian dessert – Ras malai and rosgullas

Hidden gem restaurant of your city – Thimappa restaurant in Udupi

The restaurant you keep going back to - Machlies in Mangalore and Thimappa. Excellent fish preparation in both the places.

How do you detox your body after an overdose of eating out?

I start with warm water and lime, have light breakfast, keep my body hydrated with water, tender coconut water and green tea. In the detox phase, I avoid dairy products, sugar, fried stuff and eat less carb food. I increase my intake of fruits, veggies, greens, soups or grilled fish which is good for the gut.

Any health foods you swear by?

Nuts, red rice porridge and fish.
