For the uninitiated we suggest the Daawat-e-Khaas which is the chefs signature thali and the random surprises are plenty of course! Scoop the exotic "guchi matar" with some plump cheese and olive naan for a full blown effect or choose the light and easy dal palak, pomegranate raitha and vegetable biriyani. The most loved starter is the paneeer saunfiya where the cottage cheese is generously stuffed with secret spices, caramelized onions, nuts and fennel leaves. The varied beverages like spicy milk with almonds known as 'thandai ' and a blend of banana, dates, raisins, cardamom and honey with vanilla ice cream aptly called as the 'panchamirtham' are to be definitely savoured. They also serve the usual predictable~like coconut rice ,myriad pulaos and curries. Just make sure you have the curd rice with the vendakai mochai kozhambu or urlai roast! A lovely way to end the culinary journey is to try the signature apple jalebi or slurp the lychee and tender coconut kheer. The restaurant also has an opulent private dining experience with specially curated menu (do call them for more details). At Hamsa we recommend that you simply go with the flow as eating is one of the loveliest of recreations!

W h y did you choose Chennai as your destination? I came to Chennai because my husband was working in Shipping at that time. We started to live in Delhi for one year before, but I love South India much better. Name three places in Chennai you would like to chill out during sunhys Theosophical Park in Besant Nagar, Elliots Beach and my house. Do you cook Indian food at home? Yes I do : Dal, dosa, vegetables, chicken curry... but not every day.

From when were you interested in photography? From my school days.Thanks to my twin-lens 12x12 Yashica Mat 124G Camera( which is now an antique ).
Have you thought about singing as a profession ? To me singing is a simple way to un-wind, relax and to refresh. I do share my recordings with my near and dear ones and feel very happy when they say, they liked it. What is your v i m on the current retail slump? There is a lull which could be because of the fatigue built over constant aggressive provocation to buy. It is also not fair for the retailers to expect constant growth year over year in the same store. dine here to stay? long as convenience is demanded by the customers it will stay. Even in services like Banking / insurance / Travel services / Hospitality services, on-line is now becoming a part of life. We seem to get lost without peing connected 2417. AS
I What are the three dishes you would like to cook ofen? My favourite three are ParuppuUsili, Bisibelebath and Pasta.

KMuralidharan, listed as one of the 100 Top Retail Minds (India) shares his thought with us
Is c h n a i a safe place for women when compared to other metros? Certainly it is a safer place compared to other metros that I frequently travel to. Women are certainly respected and treated in this part of the world, although there are some exceptions. Name the one aspect you like and dislike about chennai? Chennai is the cultural capital for fine arts which I love. The attitude and empathy to others in vehicular traffic on the road, especially the two and three wheelers totally stress me out.
Name five of your favourite restaurants I am not a very serious "eating out" guy. However, within the vegetarian ambit, I do like Khyber, Eden, Matsya, Rajdhani and Grand sweets.
