F Factor
I’m Maharashtrian at heart but a Punjabi by stomach
Swapnil Joshi


Is food the elixir of life? It’s much more than that. People eat to live but I live to eat.

Are you a foodie? Completely

Are you a veg or non-veg? Both but I prefer to eat more of veg

Favourite cuisine: Mughlai, Punjabi. I’m Maharashtrian at heart but a Punjabi by stomach

Favourite dish: Ukadi che (Boiled rice) modak.

Favourite restaurant: Dara da dhaba. It’s located on the outskirts of Dahisar.

A must at my breakfast table… Butter.

Sugar or sugarfree for my tea/coffee… sugar.

Lunch generally consists of… Rice, dal, vegetable and chapattis. For non-veg, I prefer butter chicken. Crabs are reserved for leisure days.

For high tea I have… Anything that’s fattening. These days it’s burgers.

Dinner generally consists of… Soup but of late my diet has gone for a toss.

Dessert delights… Chocolate brownie, honey fried noodles with ice cream

One thing I can’t resist… Jeera rice and Dal tadka fry.

My favourtie drink (non-alcoholic)… Fresh lime juice

My favourite drink (alcoholic)… I don’t drink.

For a date I usually prefer… What the girl wants.

At parties, I usually eat… Nothing. I don’t eat when I’m surrounded by 50 people

Experiment with food? Recently, I tried sushi.

Most unusual dish I’ve tasted… Horse meat in South Africa. That was the first and last time I had it.

On the streets, I love to have… Vada Pav.

One place I would never eat again… I wouldn’t name anyone because as a foodie I respect all those who are in the food business.

Do you cook? No, but I have my exclusive recipes.

Your favourite recipe... Special (fillet) boiled eggs

Create a hole in an egg make sure you don’t break the shell.

Take out the yolk and mix it with finely shredded onions, vegetable or chicken/ meat

Very skillfully put the mixture back in the shell

Coat the shell with little bit of flour and put to freeze

Then bring it to boil

Open the shell in front of your guests

Bon appétit!
