Culinary Escapades !!!

The last few days of 2006 were spent in treating myself with multitude of culinary options across different places inside well as outside of Delhi. My family’s visit to Rajasthan coupled with my own visit to Khajuraho and Orchha just before their visit left me with the options of trying different restaurants, raiding my friend’s home and sometimes even cooking with them.

Chef Deepak, when do i get to eat the Methi Chicken?

Woodsmoke said...

Oye hoye...JNU's Ganga Dhaba? Wahan ke pakode ki yaad aa gai. That's probably one of the things I did most in my MA days...eat pakodas.

Can you please add one more thing to our list of things to do together? Europe to chal hi rahe hain, saath mein eating-cooking sessions bhi add kar do.

haan trip bilkul sasta wala karenge na, backpacker type to khud hi khana banana hoga :)

@Mayuri

@burf
thanx

Woodsmoke said...

@ D
Chachas?
Where in the world will I get chhole bhature of that taste?
And mutton dosa is such a perfect lunch. Hum log jab Stephen's mein thhe tab that used to cost 12 bucks. Woh bhi mushkil se afford kar pate thhe. So mutton dosa was a huge treat, usually saved for a big occasion. Abhi bhi in spite of so many years, lagta hain ki mutton dosa ki baat ho rahi hain tab to koi bahut hi special event ko celebrate kia ja raha hain. :D

I happened upon your blog and love it! I am so hungry after reading all the food....Don't laugh but I travel a lot and take so many pictures of meals I love throughout my travels....I also have this strange skill of remembering what anyone ate that was with me at any time.,,,S you really like a wide variety of foods. I love the food in india. I can only cook chana masala, daal, sag paneer....want to learn to make dosas as there is none here in new mexico. I
