I am one of those who follows the old adage, ‘Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen and dinner like a pauper’. My dinners truly are frugal, though I am non-vegetarian I usually prefer to have a light vegetarian meal at dinner time. While eating out, it is at dinner time that I get stumped, restaurants with their large portions and generous mix of spices, khoya and cream makes my stomach churn. Even if I do manage to coax the chef into making something light, the large portions lead to lot of food wastage. Food courts at the malls have saved the day for me. These are ideal places for light dinners that are more in the nature of a snack. The best part about the food courts are that the portions are small and you get the opportunity to try out different types of cuisines all at the same time. Unfortunately though, in recent times I have been noticing that high rents are forcing the small outlets to close shop and these are now being replaced by fancy high end restaurants, not what I would like to see at a mall. Well then while the few outlets still exist I guess I will make the most of it and now over to my brother Aroop Bose for his views on what we have called a 'Snacky' Dinner.

delicious sandwiches from an outlet called Fokaciazz, pie like pizza from
Sbarro and
