MASALA?

[Jazz]

I know I haven't been here in a while but I am sure you will forgive me when you hear the reason...

On August 7th we moved house and home to Mumbai, India... yes you heard me right - India...
This move has been in the making for a year or so but kicked into high gear in May of this year.

Why India you may ask?hubby's job... let me clarify it's only for two years...

You know I had to share the news here first with my beloved foodies because now we have a whole new cuisine to share firsthand

The past few months have been super stressful - but we made it through and are now reasonably settled (our furniture won't arrive until September - but we are making do with borrowed, rented and some new bought stuff) - the child is settled in a good school and having a blast... so I now have some time to share the adventures and the daily joy of eating

To begin I am hooked on Parathas - which is a flat bread that is very popular here... some people season it up kinda like saltfish fritters without the saltfish and some stuff it with irish potatoes and cheese - any way I get it I eat it

I will try to add to this thread every time I try something new and let you guys know if it gets a thumbs up or down...

Hope you decide to join me on this Great Food Adventure!!!

Re: MASALA?

Parathas

I like most Indian food but have tasted some dishes that burned the tastebuds off my tongue for a few days lol. I think one of the first reports I want is about the differences in curry.

Now, beyond that, congrats on the move girl! That's a serious change there. You must do a sticky thread on the other things. Even their fabrics alone look fab so at least a fashion thread. I'm dying to hear about beauty products too.

Yes man I want to do something in the travel forum on the other aspects of Mumbai life - but I had to give my foodies the heads up... I usually gauge how good my travel experiences are by the food experiences...

That being said I shipped over enough Jamaican spices to last until I get back home - now if I can only find some beef
