Mumbai: Diana's thought for food
I am a: Non-vegetarian. I avoid pork but I eat everything else. I like sushi. I have tried kangaroo, alligator and snake. I begin my day with: A glass of water and herbal tea with honey. They have to be piping hot, to the point where they burn my tongue.
Breakfast is: three egg whites and one yolk. I don't have bread or juice, just tea. I have about 10 cups of tea in three hours.
I lunch on: Protein-rich meals. I eat spinach, broccoli, tomatoes and either steak or a piece of chicken with salad dressing. I avoid high-starch foods.
My fitness regimen: I stretch for about 15 minutes before I get onto the treadmill. I walk for five kilometres and do push ups and crunches.
My favourite sabzi: Bhindi. I don't like rajma and beans.
I love: Oysters.
When I am shooting: I have tandoori chicken, roti and dal.
Indian sweets are: My biggest weakness. My favorites are kalakand (my mouth is watering), rabri ka mitha rasmalai, mishti doi. When I really crave it, I go for it. I don't believe in sacrificing and cutting down on everything. You need to be moderate and when you have a craving, indulge.
I have: An early dinner of rotis, dal, vegetables and a piece of chicken.
Childhood memories comprise: When I was a kid, my mom would bribe me with Thums Up and potato chips to accompany her to horror movies.
One thing I always carry with me: Digestive biscuits.
In my fridge you will always find: A protein milkshake.
My favourite cook in the family: My brother, Shane. He makes fantastic Hyderabadi biryani.
I make a very good: Breakfast omelette.
I learnt to cook in: The Bigg Boss house. Ashutosh taught me. We would make 30 rotis for lunch and another 30 for dinner. It was fun.
My best dining friends are: My friend Reshma and Pradeep Guha.
I can't resist buying: Cheese.
I feel guilty about: Eating sweets.
My idea of a romantic meal: Food that we both like, a candlelight dinner in a quiet place where people serve and disappear. The essence is on the romance while the food only enhances the romance. I haven't been to Venice yet because I want to go there with the right person.
My favourites
A dish from my hometown: Haleem. Nowhere does haleem taste as good as it does in Hyderabad. A dish called bagare baingan is awesome.
Restaurants: Olive, Mainland China. For Italian food, I recommend Celini. You get the best steak at Blue Frog. I love Nobu around the world. In London, Signor Sassi serves good Italian food and fantastic Lobster Bolognaise.
Cuisine: Indian, Chinese and Japanese.
Spice: Cardamom.
Poison: Red wine.
