Bollywood Comes to Silverlake!






We love Bollywood and India. Our friend Tim introduced us to Bollywood stars Kashmira Shah and Krushna. Kashmira has been in many Bollywood movies. Krushna is a Bollywood dancer and is a nephew of the Mega Bollywood actor Govinda. He is also a fabulous cook.

Here is a link to a Bollywood movie where they dance together! Great Style!



They volunteered to come to our house and cook an authentic Indian Meal for us. It was a real treat. There are no recipes, lots of onions, chilies and spices. It was delicious. They made great shrimp and chicken. One thing they did which was unusual for us; chopped up at least 7 red onions and cooked them slowly. The onions basically disintegrated and turned into gravy. It was amazing to see.

As we ate we decided to checkout how we reacted to the spice of their cooking. On a 10 point scale, 10 being hot, Tim thought the food was a 9, I thought it was an 8, Cathy thought it was a 7. Krushna and Kashmira laughed. They thought it was a 2!

It was a fun night. During the meal, Kashmira got a text message that she would be acting in a reality Indian TV show where she would be dancing. Krushna will be on a Indian reality TV show doing standup comedy. They were leaving in a few days for Mumbai to begin shooting. We wish them all the best.

Here is a link to some movie clips of us cooking that night.
