India Food

Coconut juice, natural refreshment avail EVERWHERE

Dal
Here is the explanation from answers.com. -- Dal A spicy dish made with lentils (or other Pulses), tomatoes, onions and various seasonings. Dal is often pureed and served with curried dishes.

Like it is said it's main India daily dish, in my understanding rice with vegs stew. Its cost ranges from 10 (like the one shown in the picture I had in a crappy food shack in Varanasi costs 12 rupees) to 100 plus (served in those high class restaurant, one owner once told me they tried more than 100 different kinds of rice and before hunt down one variety from Sri Lanka, and finally 'made it right'. En... Yeah...Whatever. You got to have some story to tell if u wanna to charge something dozen times than usual.

Chipati: Flat, oval bread cooked in the tandoor
Which means a 2 rupee breakfast.

Sweets, Indians love deserts. They prefer those have higher sugar contents. I was wandering why most indians are slim.

View is as good as food. Taken in a Goa beach shack. They brough me Kingfisher after the pic taken.

Making Paratha .

Breakfast.

Dal -- I guess. For some of city dwellers everything happen on the street, eat, sleep, shxx.

Paratha: Flaky bread fried on the griddle
Coconut tree leaf served as one-time use dish is widely practiced in South India. I like it. But I did wash the leaf with bottle water myself. Oh, I am pathetic.

Tibetan bread -- so called. A piece of dough gets deep fried and served with butter or honey. Won't be able to find it in Tibet though. :)

Snacks. Taken in Darjeering, North India.

Juice sold by those beverage runners on bus. 5 rupees each. I dont' have the guts to drink it.

'Loads' of fried bread

Fried veg rice, trains stain food. Like happening in most counties, station food are most unpredictable kind. But no one can survive a 3 days train ride without eating something. So can just following your feeling.

Nice deco. Tempting. I still won't eat it. :)



Fried food is widely consumed in India. Most with vegs or unknown meat stuffed inside.

Samosa: Flaky, pyramid-shaped pastry stuffed with potatoes or ground meat; a traditional Indian snack. Yummy!
Best budget option and could lead days of prison time in toliet as a side effect if consuming dodging one . U got to ask my friend G, he fed on those things for 2 months. I start to eat them after I met G and found him healthy and acting like has a bunny inside, on the top of showing no signs of potential long-term illness.

For deceased. Ganges river.
