In India-- smells and flavors

Long time no see...I wish it was as simple as this one. And there is a reason that I was off from almoost a couple of weeks. And that is because I am  in....drumrolls please...INDIA! the place of smells and food. And all that did not come from free. It involved a 22 hour flight followed by meeting and drinking with old freins till the wee hours of the morning, looking ravenously at street food and not having it. All kind of sacrifices. But I am back and ready to perform. Now that the Visa thing is out of the way :)

But before I do so, let me give you a quick review of what I had over the time I was missing from blogdom.

1. Indian Chinese-- My to go food anytime I ate out. Chilli chicken, fried rice is about the only thing I ordered. And I am happy to say, the ones I gave you a recipe for, is almost as good. Almost :)

2. Tea : In so many forms and colors and smells. But it is a tad bit sad, the Indian tea drinkers are turning so western :( where has all the flowers gone??

3. Homemade food by mom. Tons of fish, green fresh fragrant veggies and fruits. I can't tell you how happy I am to visit grocery stores here. The smell is so different :) And all that for so cheap! I got a weeks veggie, for less than a dollar. I love it here. :)

more later...this time with pictures and recipes

Happy eating and healthy living
