“I have my good and bad foodie days, ” says Tisca in a philosophical tone to CS who caught up with the talented actor at a weekend brunch in town:
Healthy eating Well, I REALLY LIKE good food but I do exercise some moderation. A number of the days, I'M a healthy eater. You won’t find me straying from my diet too often. But there are some days once I just need to indulge myself. And no amount of restraint works that point.
I love chaat. I enjoy bhelpuri, sevpuri, panipuri, etc. Food wise, chaat items are my biggest weakness. I REALLY LIKE cheesecakes too. A week I treat myself to 1 piece of cheesecake.
High on Thai My favourite cuisine is Thai. I LIKE the spicy and tangy taste of Thai dishes. Whether it’s the salads, curries or appetizers, Thai cuisine has something for any soft palate. I'VE also learnt a couple of Thai dishes that I prepare at home.
What’s cooking? I am blessed with a wonderful cook at home. Touch wood. I don’t like making the standard rice, dal, roti, etc, and like more exotic stuff. I WILL make some specialized soups, salads and baked dishes. My friends love my lotus stem dish that’s accompanied with fruit sauce. I also prepare baked chicken or fish.
Monsoon meter Though the speculation of fried snacks in monsoons is tempting, I'VE learned to regulate myself. Nowadays, I bask in small snacks like bits of Lavash bread, cucumber or carrot sticks dipped in yogurt. If I WOULD LIKE something more filling then it’s an egg or salad sandwich.
Romantic meal My husband Sanjay is a pilot. Sometimes, I travel with him simply to eat at a specific place. There's this restaurant called Rosa Mexicana in Ny. I remember once travelling with Sanjay to NYC simply to eat at that place. It was one heck of a food trip.
