Mohit Balachandran

I'm a restaurateur by profession. I started off as a chef and later on moved on to the business side of things. I love my work, but my first love is and always has been street food, even as a kid. I'm a proper Army Brat.... Dad was a gunner, now retired and in between his field and peace postings, I was exposed to many different climates, cultures and cuisine. From Dinjan, Bharatpur, Rajouri, Deolali, Bombay, Trivandrum and so many more cities and towns of India that I've been fortunate to explore and get exposed to. My work too takes me to many different parts of India and guess what? I love it!

This country is so rich in culture and cuisine. My God! There's so much to explore and learn. I blog on primarily Indian food, under the name Chowder Singh and you can check this out at http://chowdersingh.com

At the end, Juice Peewanu, Carrom Ravanu, Maja ni Life (Drink juice, Play Carrom and Life's sorted). That according to both, me and Munna Bhai, should be the motto of life.
