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. Just for the fun sake, let me list day by day the food I had during this time :)
