Indi Sushi
The eating world is divided in two parts sushi
lovers and non-lovers! This is a conclusion I
have derived (may be based on limited and
unwitting observations) through my eating
experience thus far. I may be stating nothing
close to a fact but thats what I come across,
people either like sushi or they just dont,
there isnt any middle ground. Though there is a
third type, those who transition from sushi
non-lovers to absolute lovers, like me ) Well,
once I had an affair with the simplicity and
savor of a sushi, it became a taste love
forever So, how did the fusion sushi roll
recipes popped from my head? Often food left
overs are a boon to Idea Cooking. One of the
weekends I cooked this aromatic and healthy South
Indian rice preparation palak (spinach) rice and
that last bowl left over stayed in the back of my
head until Monday evening. Being a bit peculiar
with my food habits and sentiments I averse
wasting food and I prefer not repeating a meal.
