Winter
is here; a season when we lose count of the number of cups of tea or
coffee gulped down in a day or probably end up instructing ourselves to
exercise for half an hour more before happily munching on another round
of fried snacks in the evenings.
Winter gives us the reason to make merry, lets us find excuses to drop in at a friend's place for a hot cup of 'chai' and crispy aloo pakoras at the terrace and sometimes don the chef's hat on weekend mornings/evenings to rustle up a not-so calorie-free meal.
Chef Diwas Wadhera shares with us some delicious recipes that can be easily tried at home and relished among a group of friends or family.
