What inspired you to become a chef?

I come from a family background where my Uncle was a Chef .He started his career way Back in 70’s. He worked almost all over Middle East. He used to travel a lot and that attracted me to become a chef. As Teenager I thought if I became a Chef I would be able to travel overseas in many new countries and explore places.

Any easy Meat, Chicken or fish preparation that is done in shallow frying with using a Simple pan .The marination or seasoning could be anything that has bit of spicy and tangy flavors.

There is two Gentlemen I admire most. Chef Gordon Ramsay and Chef Sanjeev Kapoor. Chef Ramsay style of cooking is User friendly. Simple, easy, best ingredient and the focus is in Taste and freshness. I even have a book gifted to me by the team in Bahrain when I was leaving Ritz Carlton Bahrain.

Chef Kapoor is the Indian first chef to became so popular in of sorts of Media.
