Arjan says he is a non-vegetarian and loves anything in chicken, but likes to experiment with different cuisines. Arjan's favourite dish is Tandoori Fish. See below for the recipe.
Arjan's Favourite Dish: Tandoori Fish
Ingredients
> 2 lbs of any white fish fillets (cut into 2-3-inch pieces)
> 1 tbsp chopped fresh ginger
> 4 cloves garlic
> 1/3 cup vinegar
> 1 tbsp ground coriander seeds
> 1 tbsp ground cumin seeds
> 1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
> 1/2 cup vegetable oil
> Salt To Taste
Method
Blend together ginger, garlic, vinegar, salt, coriander, cumin, cayenne and oil in the blender to form a fine paste.
Marinate the fish pieces into the paste and keep for about 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Pre-heat the oven on maximum heat at broil.
Cover the oven tray with foil to avoid mess. Place the marinated fish pieces on the tray and broil for about 8-10 minutes.
Turn over and broil for about 8 minutes again. Keep a constant check. Broiling time may vary depending on the thickness of fish pieces.
Serve the tandoori fish hot with your favourite chutney

My favourite dishes from my home town:
Any cuisine available in Delhi. It can be the Indian dishes at Pandara Road to Parathewali Galli to all the Bengali mithais.
My favourite cook from my family is:
My grandmother. Her mango pickle, tea and parathas are awesome. The food she cooks evokes memories of my school days.
I am an expert at:
Making tea and boiling eggs. I can make a good continental breakfast too. And great black dal and toss up some pasta.
I am a dessert person:
I love dark chocolates, caramel custard and rasmalai.
In my fridge you'll always find:
Red wine, mint chutney, milk, olives and barbeque sauce. I know some are all sinful but that's why I have them stocked. I like to store nuts and biscuits in the fridge as they remain fresh and crunchy.
When I am shooting I always carry:
Premixed coffee sachets as I like my coffee mostly dark and strong. Coffee served on the sets is mostly doodh mein coffee. Thankfully there are a lot of cafes around now.
I lose my appetite:
When I am unwell. I dream of everything delicious when I am ill because it is forbidden. It frustrates me.
Food on the sets of my film Fashion:
I ate lunch with my director, Madhur. We would start with sprouts followed by a fish dish and chicken curry. There was mithai to top it all.
