Paneer

Food is an important part of a balanced diet.

Let's admit it: One of the joys of traveling is eating.
I'm an out-of-the-closet Foodie, so India will be one very exciting place for me to graze through visit.
One of my favorite Indian foods is paneer. It's a fresh cheese that looks and feels a lot like firm tofu. The flavor is refreshingly mild and yummy. It's found in many Indian dishes.
I especially love it served in curry.
Come to think of it, I love just about anything curried.
Bon appetit!
Namaste!

I'm a Foodie (sigh)

As I contemplate my impending journey through India, there are certain culinary delights that I will definitely miss.

(Don't get me wrong. I love Indian food, and am going to eat everything that doesn't move.  Mmmm. nom nom) .

What will I miss? 

Consider Exhibit A- Coffee. Made just right. Dark. No sugar.

Exhibit B- Dark M&Ms, aka Power Pellets. A necessity at 3:00 in the afternoon. All you teachers out there know just what I'm talking about.

Exhibit C- Bronx style pizza. It's so big you have to fold it in half just to shove it in your mouth.

Roti for Lunch!

When in Rome, do as the Romans. The same rule applies when traveling in India.

And since I am a serious Foodie, I will try just about everything. One staple in India is Roti.
Rotli or Roti is a type of unleavened Indian bread that can be enjoyed with any vegetable or curry. Rotli, as they are known in Gujarat, India, are rolled very thin making them light and soft. They are cooked in two different steps — first on a tawa (or skillet) and then finished off on the open flame making them balloon up.
I really love munching on these wonderfully soft and fluffy rotlis, or rotis.
Bon apetit!
Thank you for stopping by. Namaste!
