Indian cuisine
Honestly I am not a foodie, but try telling this to my various friends, colleagues and acquaintance. Most of my girl friends are happy expressing their love for me through food. May be they are checking my active metabolism and how much can it take. LOL.
Here's a list of food my friends from all parts have offered me. Let me start with south first as they form a chunk of my GFs and colleague :
1. From Bangalore : ragi chapati and ragi poddu. Infact this whole ragi thing has impressed me so much that I have added this as a regular on weekends.
2. Andra : yougurt with green chilli and veg. biryani.
3. Chennai : suraa kai (sp?) the humble bottle gourd in milk
4. Kerala : Appam with veg curry and salted murruko
(I am avoiding the dosa/idli/wada )
5. Bengal : Shoukto and aloo poshto.
6. Punjab : pakora cudi and rajma.
7. Gujarat : Khaman, dudhi moothiya.
8. Uttaranchal : achari bengan and gujiyan
9. Maharashtra : puran poli
This is more or less what I have tasted. Am I leaving delicacies worth tasting since most of my friends will eagerly oblige. So if some of you have stayed in these places or belong to these states please suggest so I can quickly ask my friends to prepare them.
As for me - I am a humble dal and roti person with gifted taste buds and an over active metabolism. (cross fingers).
