Creamy Prawn Curry

When you are brought up in a place where every culture,caste and creed is own then life is beautiful.I was never forced to speak/write my mother tongue.I always emancipated the elements of culture which appealed to me.I do not like questions like what is your native place?what is your mother tongue?what is your culture like?I don’t like being tamed into one pickle jar which belongs to one state,country or continent.That is why I love food as it has no culture it is global and it can be evolved beautifully in its own way without sticking to any specific region.That is the definition of fusion cooking! For me Faith,Family and Friends build your persona and add character to your cooking and thought process.

Faith is like a dish !

Family is the dishes ingredients !

Friends is like the garnish on the dish !
