My response to the @Indiaunited Contest Theme- : "What Is Your Favorite Food and Why?"
It's difficult to answer this question because I cannot just put my finger on one food and say this is my favorite food. When it comes to food there is so much variety and so many different types of cuisines, it would be unfair to give name of only one food. But if I have to then I love grill foods and in that Chicken Tandoori is my favorite. I also love sea food, especially prawns and crabs, but I cannot eat it on regular basis, whereas Chicken Tandoori I will be able to eat possibly every alternate day.
Chicken Tandoori is an Indian dish, it is marinated in spices and then it is charred on low flame on a charcoal fired tandoor, it can be even made in an oven, but the taste of made on the charcoal is different and that's what gives the real flavor. Very few restaurants make it that way else most of them make it in an oven which is also equally good. The best is to have them from a local tandoor place who are specialized in making it.
I really have no answer for why it is my favorite food; I just love it since the time I was a child. Possibly one reason is, as a child I was not exposed to many varieties of foods and from all that I was exposed to this was the best and it stuck to me. In that time, it was mostly made in the authenticate way so the flavor was also very nice and I relished. It was a celebration food for me then. Any time we celebrated we ordered Chicken Tandoori, and I have some fond memories of this food with my father and hubby both. That's why it's my favorite dish. At the same time in the recent times, I have many other favorite foods as well. I mostly enjoy grilled foods, whether it is Chicken or Sea-food. I am not a meat fan, and I avoid eating it outside as much as possible.
