    Kappa Chakka Kandhari In Chennai

    Kappa Chakka Kandhari !!

    You would take some time to remember this name (if you are not from south). Once registered, this would keep on playing in your mind like a track in loop. “This is a Mallu joint, quite popular here”, told my local acquaintance in Chennai. Last week, I had lunch there. The fare on the table included Absolute Kandhari to drink, Mutton Pepper Roast for starters, followed by Mango Fish Curry with Appams and then Mutton Puttu Biryani. The desserts included Cloud Pudding and Kandhari Ice Cream. Since then, the taste is lingering on, like the name, in my mind.

    What And Where To Eat In Indore

    Search this on Google and you would get a long list. Chhappan Dukan and Sarafa, night Bazar would be featuring on almost every site. So, while these two were already on my list, but I needed more. So, it was a variety of Poha and Jalebi, Sindhi Dal Pakwaan, Gujarati Fafda and Kadhi besides others in breakfast. A lunch of Rajasthani Thali or an ala carte order of Lehsuni Palak and Khichdi. And then some Hot Dog, Khopra Pattice and Batla Kachori during evening stroll. All this followed by some Coconut Crush, Garadu, Bhutte Ki Khees, Fruit Shots and what not, including a flying Dahi Bada in Sarafa. Is this mind boggling ? Well, all this was over about 36 hours in Indore, last weekend. Read on and this could serve as your broad itinerary for the city. (more…)

    A quick work trip to Jaipur, capital city of Rajasthan, early this week also turned out to be a food and a foodie experience. I was introduced to Bejad Ki Roti served with Aloo-Pyaaz-Paneer Subzi, Gatte Ki Sabzi and Rajasthani Kadhi. Also got to taste a unique Kachori which was filled with skin-on spicy mashed Potatoes and served with coarsely ground Pudina Chutney (Mint Condiment). Plus our regular musts such as Poha, Mirchi Bada with Kadhi and Papaya Shake. This time I also tasted this amazing Chikoo Shake. Let me introduce all this to you. (more…)
