One could have to travel throughout the world to India itself, to
find the response to these questions. If you were to visit Amritsar and one official picture that will greet you
is just a string of chicken pieces strung outside Makhan Fish
and Chicken Corner in Amritsar in a fiery red
marinate. A person, who’s not much about hygiene concerned, in a dirty
undershirt, and over stoops burning hot clay oven. The skewered chicken pieces applied with ghee or butter, disappear
inside this range for a few minutes. They're taken out, transformed, applied with even more butter, and again they go into the range.
Five more minutes later, the cook in the
undershirt removes the Chicken parts, plops on them to a platter, sprinkles some spice
mixture in it, pushes some orange juice on the top and presents it to you,
steaming hot and very delicious.
Unlike India, where cooking is just a national interest, almost
nobody actually owns a 'tandoor' in
India. 'Tandoori chicken' is a staple
food item. It has made 'non vegetarian
restaurants' (the tag has to be explicitly given,
seeing how India is a mainly country which has vegetarian) mushroom through the
country, dotting just about any road corner. In my own travels through India, I seldom found village or a location that did not possess attractive people, a few
dozens such restaurants and weary
travelers alike with the fragrance of fish in Amritsar wafting around everywhere.
Makhan Fish and Chicken Corner is also known as Veg Restaurant in Amritsar.
