Unleavened bread with whole apricot jam and pain curd from the woman's alliance in Ladakh. So freaking good and healthy to start the day. Fresh mint from the garden makes my tea and that's breakfast.
Choley baturey. Chick peas in curry gravy and fried bread. Really? Fried bread=sign me up. I saw this bread made on the street at my fave snack shop, they spin it into the hot oil skillet so that it puffs better. Also, plain curd which aids the digestion and calms the spiciness of this darn good lunch. Served with spicy aloo (potato) too. 40 rps or $1...and no wonder all I have been doing is eating.
The markets have ladies selling fresh fruits veggies and gents selling dried fruits and nuts. Good prices, really nice snacks, beautiful people.
Dinner. Mixed vegetable curry and fresh naan. The naan is so hot and simple and delicious, it goes perfectly with the multitude of perfectly spiced veggies and tofu (first place I received tofu in India). I feaking love this food. Later, I came back to this same restaurant and got Narvatan Korma. Nine different fruits and veggies in a creamy cashew gravy. Fruits? Banana and watermelon. Veg? Carrot, aloo, capsicum, garlic, onion, tomato, spinach. Mmmhmm. you read right. So good.
Yummy! I wish I could have sugar on top right now.
