Harkishan Singh Surjeet : 'Sickled General of the Hammered Masses'

Harkishan Singh Surjeet  (23 March 1916 – 1 August 2008)

Tongue Blazers:Andhra Cuisine

The spice crammed serving from the south eastern state of India, will more than just ignite your digestive track.....it leaves a tasteful blaze for one to savor. 
My experience commenced as a 'food I never would touch' to today, where to me it is 'the fare that defines a blissful gastronomic experience'
