Hello! I m Tanvi and and Welcome to my page.
I apply my mechanical engineering education in designing power plants and my love for food in cooking dishes.I like to cook for my husband, addressed as “P” in all my posts and also who is the sweetest guy I have ever known, who is my greatest critique,taste-tester & support.I love playing tetris on my phone and like to listen to old Bollywood songs. My first ever crush was George Clooney and he still remains the one.Okay I like Bradley Cooper & Richard Gere too.Destiny had it and I married a guy who is world’s biggest movie buff in my opinion..he can watch upto 6 movies in a day back to back! The craziest thing I have ever done is that I have not let my family know till date how I met my husband and fell in love with him. I think I need to stop now
I have been lucky to travel and work in few of the most beautiful countries in Europe.After marriage I shifted base to USA and right now I m living in the fun city of Las Vegas.Being from Delhi-India,the dishes cooked in my kitchen are mostly north-indian.Besides these you will also find some baking antics and fusion recipes that I create, all influenced by my indian roots.
It may sound weird but I don’t like eating as much as cooking.Coming from a family of super cooks,I would describe my everyday style of cooking as healthy and experimentative.A big fan of Indian food [ now thats not surprising, Right?] but quite open to cuisines all the world over..provided they are not bland! Another highlight of the kind of cooking that I have seen growing up is that it consisted of eyeballing the spices sans the cookbooks or written recipes.Though in my kitchen, I mostly cook from impulse & feeling but I try to convert the measurements in tablespoons & teaspoons in my posts..feel free to reduce or increase {especially} the spices as per your liking!!
‘Sinfully Spicy ‘…my food blog finally! Why this name..you might ask…and will agree instantly that Indians are sinfully in love with spices.Well I m no exception either! Totally in love with spices, herbs, fruit extracts,essential oils and anything & everything edible which infuses aroma into food.Very often people relate the word ‘spicy‘ with foods which tingles on the tongue…I am totally in love with that concept and the fact that spices unite individual entities in a dish into one.
Its been on cards for quite sometime now but as I write this page I can visualize my passion for cooking taking shape.So welcome to a sinfully spicy feast!!!!
Thanks for visiting my page.Do let me know how you feel about my venture.I look forward to all of your compliments and critique! You can reach me at sinfully[dot]spicy@yahoo.com for any specific questions.
