Fusion Rules    Whenever I'm asked if I prepare a lot of fusion dishes..the answer is never a clear yes or no. Sometimes unknowingly I've prepared fusion as I replace ingredients of an original recipe with ingredients that I get here. So like hung curds replaces cream cheese, mayo gets replaced by yogurt, fresh herbs get replaced by coriander or mint, tortilla gets replaced with roti etc etc.    However there are certain things I'm still a bit vary of trying say like a sweet and sour veg in a dosa (don't find that appealing) or say using the bhaji of pav bhaji to replace a pasta sauce.

MEGA BLOGGING MARATHON -SEPT 2017 #80TH BLOGGING MARATHON THEME: PROTEIN RICH DISHES DAY:5    For this protein rich dish I nearly drove my husband up the walls!

Went in the rain to the shop, we walked, had a delicious panini sandwich with coffee for lunch in a cafe and we came back with the goodies. Now please do tell me that the walk in the rain was worth it :)      A Shepherd's Pie or Cottage pie is usually a meat pie...
