Food and lifestyle

In last blog We talked about the authentic food and inauthentic food. So many people asked me what is the real meaning of authenticity hence lets clear the meaning first      " When a dish is made with ingredients indigenous to its place of origin and tailored to the pallettes of the residents of its place of origin. The caveat here is that the dish claims to be 'authentic'.     Lets take an example  - As far as we know, tandoori chicken was probably invented in Peshawar as recently as the 1930s.

Till then enjoy your life. Eat healthy!! live healthy!!!!
