Burgers, Burgers....and then some more Burgers....(I m talking about food here)
If not that then Grilled Chicken or Grilled Meat or Grilled Fish
feel like vomiting already...
If I was offered a delicious veg meal & a delicous non-veg meal then I would anytime pick the veg meal.
I wish if there was at least one Punjab-da-Dhabba style restaurant.....really miss those Tandori-rotis & mutter-paneer not to tell about those makki-de-roti & sarso-ka-dal and top it up with a sweet-lassi......and You are done for the day.
There is only one mumbai-type pani-puri Hotel (with lassi available) near Family Food Centre near the Airport. The worst is you have to stand outside and eat (especially worse on a windy day).
Garden and Star-of-India can be called veg only because some of the dishes offer veg items but they cater majorly to the Non-vegs. But both are ok, but still steep as one meal (buffet) could set you back by QR30. approx.
In the whole of City Centre, if you want veg then you have to settle for either veg-fried-rice or pasta. I really find it funny.
There is a huge pulsating Indian-Pakistani-Bangladeshi-SriLankan population out here waiting to eat out but cant do it just because of all the mostly non-veg stuff.
And how many more fast food joints are going to come out offering Burgers & Chicken laced with Monosodium Glutamate (posinous but taste good) for children. I thought some countries banned it to be used in food for children.
good to hear from u. sorry could not reply earlier. since u are a good cook, u r like a lifeline here. my contact no. is 5365359. do get in touch
May I know the name of this place buddy...
Mohan
you can get hyderabadi food near Abdulla BIn Thani roundabout.
andhra food, lovely spicy food.
not sure of any specific andhra restaurant, but i think garden soemtimes offers andhra cuisine.
if i am not mistaken there is a hyderabadi joint thats supposed to make good dum biryanis, am not sure of it, i shall ask my hyderabadi friends and let you know, if no one else gets it before that.

warangal, may be in andhra , yeah its also REC. We are no more REC babies, we are REC Grown Ups.
I read that u r environ engr, is that what u did for u r masters?
I dont think there are much rec alumini here in doha.Any knowledge han.
maverick if you see a woman making a sudden quick turn to avoid no apparent collision then that woman would be me avoiding some teacher too. i didnt hate school but i didnt like it either bcos my mom was a teacher too and how quickly they used to sqeal about me and my havoc to her, only i know.
but when i finished my mtech i did go to the scholl to rub it in, didnt succeed because they were so happy and they were confident that i would do it.

well at a point i hated "some" teachers soo much that i had taken an oath to harm / punish them some how ofter scool ... but now .. i kinda feel pity for them, esp when you meet them they are soo nice to you and it feels good ... but i still run away from some teachers, dont want to get caught up with them at the wrong time with friends and they ask you, Oh when did you get married, pretty wife you got there :| and i`d never see light again ... haha, so maybe if u ever happen to see any teacher at any mall and if u see some guy runnin away in a hurry .. urrm.. that would be me :)
I m Mechanical Engineer frm REC Jaipur.
REC karnataka ummmmmm Its warangal or Suratkal??

Talk abt baking a cake, last time i tried baking one in our microwave, it turned out to be a round hardened rock i guess .. we cudnt cut it break it, we had to get rid of it likewise as i couldnt eat it (my punishment) hehe .. since then my previliges to access the kitchen is quite limited :))) so whos baking ?... i am up for free cake :) i`ll make coffee ...

oh so you are a MES baby, well so am i, batch of 93, then was in india for engineering and then masters, and now here, masha'allah with hubby and kids.are u from bangalore or just went there for education?
Ram, i used to bake good cakes, but i have been lousy at it lately. i tried choclate cake 3 days back, burnt part of it but had to cook further bcos it had not cooked from the middle, so took off the burnt crust and baked again. it did turn out edible after all that.i am doing something wrong with my baking.i did bake an orange cake but while baking its like and risen but the minute it cools its goes phuuuusssss all the way down like a balloon out of air, another dissappointment.

I don't like the carrot in general .. there was an orange cake ..do u know how to make it ..
"It's better to keep silent and have people doubts that you are idiot than to speak and remove all the doubts"

u say your family is still here, have u studied here as well?
happy heart

happy heart
drive safe because someone is waiting for you at home

Thanks so much Rajeev and Manubtl for the invitation and sorry for not coming ..
"It's better to keep silent and have people doubts that you are idiot, Than to speak and remove all the doubts"
Hi Guys, Ram, Han19,Maverick,ssiss, gypsy gal,Rajeev and I talked over phone yesterday, so tomorrow,saturday 12th, I will be going to rajeevs place for dinner and hope you guys could make it too. Pls inform me.
Oh u r so sweet and nice han19
Thanks for the way .. it seems to be so easy .. i thought it is something difficult .. By the way you didn't notice that i know the kheer although i'm egyptian not indian ..
"It's better to keep silent and have people doubts that you are idiot, Than to speak and remove all the doubts"
maverick are u from bangalore? i am very busy friday to join anyone for lunch or dinner bcos my entire family is waiting for lunch that i order from outside, i used to make it a point to cook specifically for fridays, but with 2 tinytos, its difficult, and my dad n hubby are very understnading, so mazza zindabad.
ram, rice kheer, what i do is, cook rice normally in water and sugar till almost done and then pour enough milk to soak in all the water and let it cook on low flame. its very easy.u have to keep checking on it to see it does not stick to the base else it will burn quickly. while u finish cooking see that it is of a liquid consistency because once it cools it tends to get thick.garnish with any chopped nuts, raisins, add little rose essence or water for extra flavour/smell.
rajiv how do you make suji halwa?
happy heart
drive safe because someone is waiting for you at home
jaipur, bangalore, wow now we are talking about real food and places.
rajiv u sound like a very good cook, how do you cook your karela, is it with jaggery, i love karela but it has to have jaggery in it.aloo is my weakness :-)
just love gajar ka halwa, and only the ones i make, dont usually like whats served at the hotels, i did try once at taj rasoi and it was great but going to taj rasoi for gh is a bit too steep.
hey also try biryani prepared at mazza, i feel they make the best biryani, actual layered rice not rice mixed with masala.
for typical tasty oily nonveg food, try sara, qutbah, lahore restaurants.
our usual butterchicken, khormas and mix of all cuisine, kebabking is good too, their arabic grill tastes different from the other grill joints.different tastes but good.
food created a connection for people to meet, great:-)
sara restaurant behind homecentre jaidaflyover, makes great phirni.

Restaurant is in Bin Omran. It is located at the left hand side if you are going from Olympic village towards TV round about.
If you are free ,can we plan for tomorrows lunch or dinner, ith few more friends from qatar living??
Thats quite far I suppose, I live in Bin Omran Area.Its just been a couple of months and I dont have a driving Lisence here.Also not that familiar with places around.
Gajjar Ka halwa with deshi ghee is my fav and had a lot when I lived in Jaipur.
Have u tried gajjar halwa from Shezan restaurant. I like it a lot.
Also for non veggies here, grilled chicken and meat at Shezan is also very good. Not very expensive also. Try it some time. Key is not go go for buffet (no grills) but order grilled chicken, seekh kebabs, chicken karahi and butter naan. mmmmm my mouth is watering. Have a nice meal.
Hi,
I live in Old Airport area
rajeev
Rice kheer, Gajjar Halwa and Suji Halwa are my Favs.
rajeev
Hi rajeev, i see you online, where do u live man, if near by my area I would like to drop today for dinner.
wow i like the Kheer
isn't that rice with milk ..i think so .. i need to know how can i do that .. can any body HELP me in that..
"It's better to keep silent and have people doubts that you are idiot, Than to speak and remove all the doubts"
hi Rajeev ,
i would like to join you too, some day in near future.Where do you live??
I`d be your biggest fan if you could tell me what sweets you can make, i am Dying to have the typical Desi Rich sweets which we don't get anywhere in Doha ! Tell me whats your catch and i`d hook you up with some good deals and oh yea .. we can be BEST FRIENDS hehehe :))))) Any thing from your fav home made Choco Brownies / Cake to Kheer or Gulab Jamuns ! i am up for it !!
Cooking started as a necessecity when I was young due to some family circumstances. However I have trained a couple of Filipinos when I used to sail on the ships. They have really made books writing the various recipies i used to teach them. Two of them have even opened a restaurant in Manila. Fortunately it is sort of God gift. Lets hope you can try one day and judge for yourself. There are quite a few people who have appreciated my food.
rajeev
Rajeez saab, please tell me you are a Chef by profession, looks like some mouth watering Gala layout you have .. i`d love to, but have some plans today :) Prolly han19 would like to join u :)
Well I'm happy to learn that there are quite a few veggies around. Well I cook pure veggie North Indian food, you name any vegetable and I can cook it, including various stuffed parathas.

i miss awesome food back in bangalore ! the food n sweets r just amazing .. qatar has limited options... well... dont ask me about shawarmas, i havent come across a good sharwama place in doha till now, well .. fridays try Hyderabadi Biryani from the Hyderabadi restaurant near akai roundabout .. their Dum Gosht and murg biryanis are out of the world oh n yea .. the famous hyderabadi baigans :)
i used to love sherhzad and bukhari for grills, but now they have taken a back seat to turkish central. their quantity is good and reasonably priced.
i had good shawarma the other day from petra, can u suggest another place where they wont give stinky meat shawarma?

gypsygal you can join me for veg food or do you prefer nonveg too. are you married, gypsy?

i love indian veg food, whos cooking here?
ssiss yahaan apna dabba hai aur apna tiffin, dono ghar pe, khud pakana, bharna aur khana padta hai.
since u mentioned mumbai i wrote in hindi, hope u do understand.
cooking veg is easy, it wud be better u do it yourself or learn, if u use the food service you will dislike eating out totally.i had used the food parcel service just once for a month while i was pregnanat and not able to cook, and i got fed up.
