Making hot, spicy ramen at home! It's a trend I'm fully embracing because it's both comforting and fun to experiment with.

I usually go for roasted makhanas. They're healthy, and the roasted ones taste great too!

What's the most adventurous food you've ever tried, and would you recommend it?

I tend to weird out my friends by mixing salty and sweet, like pairing mithai with namkeen mathri. I'd definitely recommend trying it—it's a fun and tasty combo!

What's your favorite cuisine, and what dish do you always order?

Japanese cuisine is my favorite, hands down. I can't resist ordering spicy miso ramen every time.

Coffee! I can't imagine going without it. Besides that, I'm pretty flexible when it comes to food.

Lately, I've been loving chocolate kunafa. I also can't say no to waffles, and yes, I have a definite sweet tooth!

What's the best food advice you've received, and from whom?

My doctor once advised me to avoid heavy lunches and dinners, opting instead for smaller meals every 2-3 hours. It's helped me feel lighter and more energetic throughout the day.
