Seven-time Wimbledon champion and 17-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer breaks new ground by competing in India in the exhibition International Premier Tennis League, and his fans in the world's second most populated country can hardly wait.

Should Federer visit the Taj? Or the Ganges? Help the Swiss ace...

Federer, who is excited about visiting the country for a second time, says he loves to eat Indian cuisine, since he eats it very rarely, in order to face the challenge of spice, CNN reported.

Naming the cuisines, he said he had tried chicken biryani, all types of naan bread, and vegetable degustation menus, adding that he already had Indian food twice this week.

He recalled his time on India's chaotic roads and, of course, reflects on his Twitter request in September that led to an array of colorful replies.
