    There are some bloggers who makes you fall in love with writing. They are the ones who are popular not because of controversial write-ups in the blog, but because how easily anyone can relate to the things they pen down. Since the day I took baby steps in blogging, there was one such blogger, whom I always looked up to, one who could write about anything and look like a piece of cake- Be it his Snoopy Tales, T.V. Sitcoms, Movies, Books, Social Causes.

    It was accidental to find out a food ย community/group in Facebook which was headed by this blogger's Mom. We became friends by discussing food and recipes. Yes, obviouslyย she is a fabulous cook. Pramila Aunty, is a kind womanย who always helps me in picking out some easy but unique recipes to try out. Sheย is always a ping away and is ready to help and advice when I approach her with all my silly doubts, be it food or personal.ย When I took up this challenge,the first thing I wanted was to ask for a guest post from them.

    So, here is the man himself-ย Anaesthesiologist. Award winning Blogger. Dog-Lover. Author. The one who decided not to allow his child to become a Doctor in India and went viral- Dr. Roshan Radhakrishnan (who blogs at Godyears).

    [tweetthis]Mughlai Chicken by Roshan at Godyears- Guestpost[/tweetthis] Today, any self-respecting non vegetarian restaurant in India features Mughlai Chicken in its menu, hailing the great dish passed down since centuries.Mughlai Chicken

    Rich and creamy with curd, milk, saffron and almondy goodness, this was literally a dish for kings back in the Mughal era.

      I trust this doctor a 100% when it comes to food. Mainly because of his food pictures and then because of his size ๐Ÿ˜›

      People who love food are always the best people.
