Describe Your Favourite Food: IELTS Speaking Cue Card

To begin with, I would like to talk about my most favorite food that is biryani. To make this, it's definitely a long and a tedious process, but the time, the effort is definitely worth it. There are different biryanis available all over the world, but my personal favorite is Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, and the process to make it is simple but yet complicated. There are different ways to prepare it, and we start off by layering the mixture of the vegetables and the meat in the masalas and layering it alternatively with rice, and then finally sealing it with an air-pressured container. So this is a complicated process, but once it's ready, it's absolutely going to blow our minds off. And it is very famous in the area I live, the city I live called Hyderabad, and the city is known for its different aromatic biryanis. And in addition to it, I love exploring and experimenting with different biryanis available in different cities as well, like the Afghani Biryani, the Lucknowi Biryani, and the Kashmiri Biryani. My personal favorite has to be the Hyderabad one. There is so much, I also love biryani because it represents the culture we live in, so diverse, but yet once when we all are put together, they bring out so much flavor.

My favorite cuisine is Italian and my favorite food would be spaghetti. I love spaghetti arrabiata and the reason that I like Italian cuisine mainly is because it's very, it's not only flavorful but it's very subtle on the taste. There are no complex flavors. It's a very comforting meal and the main thing I love about the recipe is that you can tweak it accordingly to what available and protein that you have available in hand without having to change the taste, without having to vary the main sauce. Spaghetti arrabiata is basically made with garlic, tomato and basil. It's very easy to cook. It's a very simple recipe. It's pretty straightforward. You boil the spaghetti for the sauce, you grind the tomatoes, add basil and chopped garlic and cook it till everything is well combined and then you just mix the spaghetti in it. It takes about 10 minutes. I usually make it at home whenever I want to just grab a quick bite and I can also just change the recipe based on my preference, not only for the food available but also based on the weather. I can make this recipe even as a cold recipe. There is something called as a cold pasta where you make the sauce in advance and then you keep it in the freezer and let it cool down. It's such an easy dish that you can easily use the same ingredients but just cool the noodles as well as the sauce and just pour the cooled sauce over the noodles and it makes a very refreshing dish. Because of the basil it makes a very refreshing dish to eat even in hotter days. The flavour profile is very simple and the taste is extremely good.

My favorite food is a bit stereotypical Indian dish. It's butter chicken. I really enjoy the smooth flavor of butter with a bit of spiciness and a hint of creaminess from the cream. Preparing butter chicken is a very linear process. Basically to start with we have to get a chicken in curry cuts and we have to prepare the gravy with boiling tomatoes and then onions sorting onions and then grinding it all up with bunch of spices and then we add chicken to it with lots and heaps and heaps of butter. It's a really common dish in India. You can try it from anywhere from a small restaurant to a five-star hotel and it will taste as good as you can make it at home as well. It never misses. I would recommend trying it at home. It's very it's not particularly easy to make but it's a fun experience.

One of my favorite dishes of all time is probably Maghlouba, it's a traditional Saudi dish that I love. To be honest, I'm hungry right now just thinking of it. It's basically made of rice, chicken and multiple layers of vegetables from eggplant to potatoes to spinach and all of that. One of the reasons to which why I love it is probably because it's so delicious and it's really really filling. I've loved it since I was a kid, to this day I'm still obsessed with Maghlouba. And the main reason why it's called Maghlouba is because when the platter is put onto the dining table, you have to flip it in order to get all the layers of the vegetables.

Coming from a mixed culture background and living in India, food not only is a part of your daily routine that you consume just to feed yourself, it suddenly becomes an emotion and a way to express yourself. For me, coming from the eastern side of India, I love my cuisine, there is a dish called Biryani, which is made popular in Kolkata. It is usually made with rice, which is garnished with onions, you can add a little bit of chicken in it, you can add any kind of meat in it, it is also made with seafood sometimes. It's a delicacy which is celebrated all over India in different ways and each of the state has its own take in it. Biryani is the food which is introduced to everyone and in every occasion, maybe it's a marriage, maybe it's an engagement, maybe it's a party, everywhere you can find a Biryani lover.

So, a balanced diet is must for good and healthy well-being. So, the favorite food that I would like to talk about is Himachali Dham. It is called as Himachali Dham. It is prepared in large utensils, mainly made up of brass, they are placed on the chamber that provide heat to it and then when we made rice, we have to separate the water from the rice and each grain is separated from the other grain. It consists of almost 7 to 8. It is a combination or conglomeration of approx 7 combined dishes, hence that's why the collective term is called as Dham. It is not that common in Himachal, but we can say this, that most oftenly it is prepared on, it is most oftenly prepared when there is a family function, there is a wedding or sometimes some types of reception. Then most oftenly people used to make this Dham on their very special day. Last time when I made this Dham is about the wedding of my own brother and I like this Dham very much because it has a conglomeration of more than 15 to 16 type of spices. More oftenly we can call it a mixture of cloves and a wide variety of spices in it. If I talk about my favorite, it is one of my favorite because it has, it tells us how a combination of one can hold a family of 7. It means if one dish is kept from the whole, then it will,

My favorite dish is alfredo pasta also commonly known as white sauce pasta, it has been my favorite dish for a while now. So I had white sauce pasta first at a cafe and I loved it. It looked quite intimidating to make but when I actually tried it, it was quite easy which is also why I fell in love with it. It is one of the dishes which has made me fall in love with cooking. So I love it because of its creamy and cheesy texture. It is one of those dishes which I would have on a cozy movie night. To make a white sauce pasta, the ingredients which you need to make a white sauce pasta are always available in your pantry. You can use any veggies of your choice, flour, milk, cheese and you can amend the dish as you wish.

Coming from an Indian household and the country India which is so diverse in its cultures and traditions, the variety and range of food differs in various places. If I have to talk about my favourite food, it would definitely be the South Indian top tier food, Dosa. Despite coming from Northern India, I have always loved and preferred to eat Dosa. Whenever I went out with my friends or colleagues to order something in a restaurant, my first choice was always Dosa. It's prepared with a batter and served with three different types of chutneys or sauces. My favourite one is the coconut sauce which tastes scrumptious. It is mainly prepared in the southern regions of India but people all over the country likes to eat it as well. It is quite common if we talk about the southern region but the Eastern India or the Northern India prefer it quite less than what the South Indians does. It is a meal that is quite easy to prepare and it just needs dosa.

Out of all dishes in the South Indian cuisine, biryani is the one which caught my attention deeply. And about biryani, there are various types of biryanis available in Kerala according to the flavor. As the flavor changes, the type and name of the biryani has been changed. And out of that, I like Thalassery biryani the most because the chicken is completely dipped with gravy and the rice is little bit spicy and also it is not much hard. So all of these features elaborate the taste of that dish. And it can be served in varieties of functions. So all of the South Indians would like this biryani very much. So I am not at all different from them. I also like that one. And I would like to introduce different type of Thalassery biryani according to their change in the amount of ingredients. So I also prepared that Thalassery biryani in my house also. So it was very delightful for me because all of the individuals in my family like that dishes. So it was great.
