I stayed at the wonderful and gorgeous International House Hotel which is also home to the swanky LOA bar.

Oh what fun! We’re dressing up traditional vanilla and chocolate checkerboard cookies with a refreshing minty flair. These cookies are impressive and take a bit of precision.

I am a huge fan of Muri mixture that is sold by bajjiwalas (vendors) along the Vizag beach road.

[feast_advanced_jump_to] A really fantastic side dish or starter to serve with that Indian fakeaway! We love a crispy onion bhaji dipped in sweet chilli sauce. I find onion bhajis can be a little hit and miss when eating out. Sometimes they can be a little greasy and flavourless. But when they get it right? Oh yes!! That’s when I eat too many and can’t fit in the main course. That perfectly crispy, slightly salty and mouth-wateringly spicy combo is what we’re getting with this recipe....
