Desi way

Fish dinner delicacy
Late-night meals for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are always light and early. Small portions of grilled fish and boiled rice are her go-to for a light, pre-bedtime dinner at home, and she always drinks several glasses of water.
'Maa ke haath ka khana'
In all likelihood, it is her absolute favourite. Even after sampling the world's finest cuisines, nothing can compare to the yummy food prepared by mom. Professional chefs' standard teaspoon and tablespoon measurements are rarely used. They use a palm full of this or that to approximate the proportions in their minds. Despite this, the dish mom makes always manages to satisfy our hearts, stomachs and souls with its exquisite flavour and comfort. The same goes with Vrinda, Aishwarya's mom, who understands the way to her heart is through her stomach. Aish raves about her food, and rightfully so. The best food is the kind her mother makes in the traditional style, such as fish or chicken curry.
Love for Mangalorean grubs
We all know that the former Miss World has her roots in the coastal city of Mangalore. And she has made no secret of her affection for Mangalorean cuisine. It is widely thought that the diva is a firm believer in the health benefits of Mangalorean fish and chicken curries served over boiling rice.
