Heaven of the taste… at its best (INDORE) !!!

Heaven of the taste… at its best (INDORE)!!!

 

 Indore (Madhya Pradesh) India - Place where people are blessed by tingling taste buds, they live for food and food and food….

If you ask someone to start the day to Office at 9 AM , sounds difficult for them; but if ask them to go for “SARAFA” at mid night 11.50 PM, they will get charged-up and ready to move in few seconds, without even bothering anything around. They can travel more then 5-15 KM just for having “POHA-JALEBI” or “PATTICE”.

“SARAFA” name sounds as jewellers shop area.” Yes it is a lane full of Jewellery shop, But till 7 PM only. Market gets closed by then and new market gets open back to back of Foodies. Rich taste of Malwa, unconditional smile, Love & care reflect in their serving. You can go to any shop and taste anything around if you do not like the taste can go without any hitch. Even if you like and do not want to buy that, still ok with them.

This lane is a complete buffet of Indori food at one place. You can find shops of generations, people changes but taste does not!

If I talk about food and missed about the serving is really not fare! I wish you may watch the “JOSHI DAHI WADA” serving. The way he through the plate full of Dahi bada in the air and receive it back like the plate itself is doing stunts and master (Sitting in gaddi) is making this done. Then he will put four different masala (Spices) one after other, layer by layer only by picking once from the masala tray. Isn’t it amazing!

 You cannot miss “GARADU” only seen in Malwa,” SHIKANJI” which is almost full of dry-fruits and of course “JALEBA”.

Traditionally we have seen Jalabi, but this is different. Weight is varying between 600 gm. to 1000 gm., deep fried in Pure Ghee and dipped in “CHASHANI (Sugar Syrup)”.

Then you cannot miss going to “56 DUKAAN (56 Shops)” were you will find the 56 different food stalls of various kind.

And the most important “SEV” in Indore is an attachment involved in every part of food. From the breakfast to dinner, starter to main course 100’s of varieties, taste, spicy, less spicy, mixed mixture which one has never seen or thought. Any flavor you think, you will surely get here.

 I left Indore around 8 years back but I still make sure to have SEV every day in my food, however I manage a lot to get this transported from Indore. but it is worth !

There are so many different places around the city famous for their food. If by any chance some one feels that vegetarian food has less variety, invite him to Indore and make him eat different dish every day till he wish to stay.

People may say that they are food maniac but that is their strength. You get addicted to it once you have it.

Food is their life and serving is their culture. They are strong in their culture because they nurture it every day and make it stronger.

I am also foodie and for good luck my wife has born and bought up in Indore.….

Being Father IV

Being Father…IV

 

I was thinking that, how children are good in convincing…?

Today morning when I told my elder daughter that we are thinking to celebrate your birthday. Now you are going to complete 8 years, you are grown-up.

She started telling me “ Dad, you know I want a room full of toys, Chocolates , Dolls and whatever you wish along with this, I am ok”.

I said “I will give you gift of my choice not of yours”.

She Said “Ok, You know Dad now a day, children get gifts like i-pod, Laptops, palm-top and video-games, you tell me what you are getting for me, I am ok with that”.

You think this way or that way…..my demands are clear. This message is loud & clear from my daughter’s statement.

For the kids, life is fun and they really enjoy it well. You may be in your stress but they do not think like you. They are comfortable and live every moment full of Joy without having worries about tomorrow’s school, homework or anything else.

While I was doing this discussion with my elder daughter, younger one (She is just 20 Month old) was busy with the Glass (half filled of water) & Spoon. She was giving spoon full of water one after other. Without being a part of this conversation, but if you do not take this water in your hand she was really getting annoyed. The kids make life so easy, relax and spontaneous that not only they enjoy every moment but surroundings around them and also become joyful.

Their smile and cute acts make your all worries out of your mind. Smile comes on your face and life become so easy (May be for few moments only).

If you just think…..How simple is to make our life like a kid, joyful, cherished. Just do not worry about tomorrow and don’t remember the past. That’s it!!!

Try this out some time! It is really fun and relaxing.
