My apologies for the month-long silence. I’ve been rambling around India and nearly became a vegetarian – what a scary prospect! Over the next few days I will be posting up photos and thoughts on some of the food I tried, starting in Delhi…
After a day in the Main Bazaar of Delhi’s Paharganj, where I escaped the crazy market to sit and drink gingery milky chai and be painted with henna, we went for dinner at Tadka (4986 Ramdwara Road, Nehru Bazaar, tel: 011/3291 5216). Matar mushroom was a thick mix of peas, mushrooms and other veg in thick, spicy sauce. Paneer lababdar was thick cubes of tangy cheese in a creamy cashew nut sauce. Tadka dal was flavoured with roasted cumin. We also had tandoori roti, a missi roti (with chickpeas) and lemon cumin rice. I’m going to try and recreate these dishes now.
