Cooking Up A Storm With Anang Desai

As a child Anang Desai was told to eat all food because all food is good. But Anang Desai has always enjoyed eating ‘good’ food. A self-proclaimed foodie, he steers clear of sugar and fried food. Anang has worked relentlessly after beginning with Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi in which he played JB Kripalani. He has worked in more than 60 films and 60 plus television serials

My dietary preference is: Definitely vegetarian though I do eat eggs.

First thing in the morning: I have a glass of water.

My breakfast comprises: Mainly of eggs and toast and 2 cups of tea. Sometimes I also have oats.

My lunch: Depends on my mood. Dal, sabzi, rotis, one salad and chaas of course. I like to have a variety of dals and sabzis. If I have rice I don't have rotis. I eat different kind of rotis -- multigrain, bajra, millet and wheat.

Between breakfast and lunch: I have a fruit, it could be a pear/orange.
