Food in India

(This post is for you, Peyush--I even updated it today!)
I love Indian food--I eat it all--bring it on. I also have a new camera that has a "cuisine" setting. These are some of the yummy meals I've had lately.

In the US, I don't eat breakfast much---I know, there's a whole mafia attitude about people who skip breakfast, but I haven't been much of a breakfast eater since I was a kid and I see no point in changing now. Except, of course, in India. Here a nice breakfast includes Masala Dosa (a large crisp pancake folded around spiced potatoes and served with coconut and tomato chutneys and sambar), a lassi and a pot of coffee. For that, I eat.

Masala Prawns with Parathi--amazingly good!

This was really so unique sounding I had to try it--Raspberry Chilli Sorbet. Wow, it was great--at first, you only get the cold and the raspberry and then it's followed by a mellow warm burn--I have to try this at home.



The Non-Veg Thali with the most amazing Tandoori Chicken... It was 85 INR, or about $1.67 and this lunch place. You can't get that at Taco Bell... Speaking of which, they aren't in India yet (seems funny since they have so many veg options on the menus), but Pepsico is. Here's the Pizza Hut we went by today, advertising Punjabi Pizzas. Check out the Pizza Hut logo above the poster.



Appams and chicken stews... (65 INR or about $1.28)


Appams with Veg stew (South Indian--with coconut milk--yummm)

Chili Potato --this is sort of like French Fries with Buffalo Chicken Wings sauce. Amelia wants me to bring some home for her.

Ahh, the Perfect Manhattan and Chaat.
