Indian Eats

After the previous two posts I needed to write about something positive, that being how much I've enjoyed the food here in India. It was after all one of the main reasons why I chose to travel to this country.

Unsurprisingly, most of the vocabulary that I have picked up here is related to food.

Some examples:

Paneer (Indian Cheese)
Aloo (Potato)
Dal (Lentils)
Ghobi (Cauliflower)
Jeera (Cumin)
Mater (Peas)
Palak (Spinach)
Murgh (Chicken)

I love the variety of dishes. I love the aromatic spices. I love ripping off a piece of warm naan, wrapping it around a piece of curry-coated chicken, cheese, or vegetable, and popping that delicious morsel in my mouth.


Vegetables, lentils, rice, and naan.

Tandoori Chicken

Palak Paneer, Aloo Ghobi, Mixed Vegetables

Thali - a variety of dishes served on a round tray.
        

Heaven

When I eventually return home, I will absolutely be cooking the dishes I've tried here. That's something I'm really looking forward to.
