Well, the title makes it sound like how the great big venture started - but no, not yet - I guess what i am trying to say is how my dream was born. I've always wanted to work for myself, trying to conquer the food world, but then laziness has won all along so far. It was about two years ago that I said to myself "Just go ahead and create a food heaven that people visit every single day". So, thought of thousands, all right, that is bit of an stretch to the story, but surely thought of 10 - 20 different ideas of what to serve in my cafe. Hot Delicious wraps to smoothies - just the best - making Delhites healthy and happy. Never really managed to get the finance bit sorted - and then had a slight problem too. I live in the UK, and I wanted to run a cafe in India - 'cos that is where I want to be be, where my heart and soul already live - really, just wanted to join them - but, wasnt meant to be - well, atleast hasn't happened so far. Have not given up hope - am still working on that - never give up they say - don't they? will keep u all posted.
I keep wondering that are there any more people out there like me who want to go back to India - nothing wrong with living in the UK, but then nothing to beat being back home. Especially in this day and age when India is fast moving ahead - ofcourse with poverty, corruption by its side - but then, which country is perfect? Let me know, if you know of any.
Since I am talking of a cafe, let me end this post with a recipe of a nice healthy snack:
Aubergine and Sweet Potato Circle Chips
Ingredients
1 large aubergine, washed & chopped into thin circles
1 large sweet potato, washed & chopped into thin circles
sea salt to taste
pepper
cayenne pepper
2 tbsps olive oil
Method

2. In a bowl mix all the ingredients together
3. Bake in a high oven (200 degrees Centigrade) for about 25 mins or until they are crisp
Enjoy them on the side with either wraps or sandwiches.
