Starters.....

Life in a big city is very simple... work days, weekends and daaru.. be it the sophisticated sparkling white wine or the very collegian old monk with coke, preferences may be a lot but need, boils down to one.. To be high and merry!!!

But no one is exactly a devdas or a solitary reaper that they will drink without enjoying it.. Come on its time to live the present and future with friends and lovers.. So what do we do?? Friday night, office over, good poison handy, someone by your arms and a kitchen to rummage through. Drinking without snacks is a crime. And thou shalt never commit that!!

So I am gonna dedicate this article to all those who want to learn how easy it is to be NOT a criminal. Order for your favourite flavour of chips and whip up a yummy and healthy hung curd dip to start with. How??? Pretty simple! Get that tub of yoghurt out and put it in a clean kitchen towel. Let it hang on your sink by what time; chop some olives, capsicum and carrots. Make really tiny pieces. Now whisk the hung curd in a bowl and add sugar and rock salt in it. Whisk it well to mix in all the soluble particles. Now add the tiny veggies and for that really cool tinge, add a hint of the solution in which the olives were kept. Season it with pepper and oregano, based on your taste buds. And viola!! 7 minutes flat and a gourmet hung curd dip ready. So why wait; quickly gulp down your first peg... Cheers!!!

Now for the second peg of the night, you can’t possibly be eating the same thing. A little alcohol in your system will guide you to your fridge and search for another delectable snacks. And as usual, i have a solution. Order for the new ‘hippo’ chips. Try their capsicum flavour.. now rummage thru your fridge and take out yesterday’s sabji. Anything without bitter gourd and eggplants is welcome. Now put it in a slotted bowl and wash away all masalas. Now chop one small onion and in a little oil fry it till light brown. In goes the sabji and mash everything well with your ladle. Now season it with your favourite spices, salt and pepper. Once its dry and looks a delicious mash, take it off the heat and spoon a little on the chips.. Enjoy your bruschettas made in seconds..

And now for the third peg.. Screw it!! At this point even frozen bread is an awesome snack!!!
