@Neelam, thanks for writing in...to be honest I've been a bit lazy about it.

When I started off then net connections were very slow and every additional link to upload became a pain...over time a number of good directories came up such as zomato, burp, google maps and it has become pretty easy to get the address etc by a google search...so I consciously stayed away from putting up details. At times numbers, and definitely prices change, which is a problem when people read posts I might have written a bit back...so if anyone asks me I try to help them out but otherwise have just kept the blog more like a diary than a directory

@ Kalyan.....one suggestion. When you write about some of these amazing places to eat, can you include the address or a phone number or even a landmark to get to these places???? Cannot wait for my India trip and try out Arsalan...!!!

@Kalyan: The one I picked has no such instructions...rather, the store owners wrote the cooking procedure on small piece of paper. Send me your email ID, will send you the pics and recipe. In fact, got loads of photo's from during my Kolkata stint. If I'm not lazy enough (ya rite)...will make a small write-up to go with it.

Hey Kalyan, no clue about what you were trying to say about grated onions. Happy New year btw...loved the post on Cafe Excelsior. Will get there on my next visit to Mbai (me posted in B'lore for the moment).

I'm dying to suggest a place for you to visit in Mbai, but turns out you've been everywhere and even places I've never been to :).

Amod hi, i had no idea about the hogg market one...we used to get cookme chaap mixes...there the recipe called for grated onions though...any thoughts on that?

Hey Kalyan,

When I moved out of Calcutta, the first thing I did was figure out where to pick up a 'Chaap masala mix'. They sell it in packets as per your requirement in the Hogg market (this is very close to Nizam's). You supposed to mix the masala in curd, with chicken, leave it for a hour or so, then slow cook the way you've mentioned...yet to try, will let you know when I do :).

Happy eating.
