Hungry in New York

I write this as I gulp down the last piece of my tandoori roti with paneer-do-pyaaza for the nth time this semester. It’s strange how despite all the different food options available in India, I can’t help but pine for the variety I had back on exchange. If someone wanted a truly diverse set of … Continue reading →

APAD #NYC: Things that are a total waste of time when on exchange #1

Cooking! I spent 45 New York minutes on preparing Paneer Bhurji! (5 mins to watch youtube video of the recipe, 20 mins to chop veggies, 20 mins to cook, 10 mins to admire my awesome culinary skills) The end result was some Dhaba-level Bhurji (my flatmate said it was awesome, which means a ton) So … Continue reading →
