Every day is a new day, exciting day, surprising day for me. Whenever I get up in the morning, I feel today is such a beautiful day, I should make some interesting food. And I start my day from my best place i.e. my kitchen.
It’s always in my mind that happy mood comes from good food. So, I try my level best to make the food that can create positive emotion. As we know there are different tastes of food like sweet, sour, spicy or bitter tastes as same as our different emotions like happy, sad, angry etc. Therefore, I believe the food is basically a mood changer.
Today I made fusion of Mexican food and Indian food. You can get a combined taste of rice and roti together. I hope, you would like it.
So, here it goes the Day 4: Breakfast menu
