• Fiona's first Indian biryani 😋

    5 April, India ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    We drove on to the Lotus Temple, Delhi's beautiful Bahau House of Worship. It offers a rare pocket of calm in the hectic city. It is an architectural masterpiece designed by Iranian-Canadian architect Fariborz Sahba in 1986 and, some say he based his design on tge Sydney Opera House. It is shaped like a lotus flower with 27 white marble petals. The temple was created to bring faiths together.

    When we got there, there were hundreds of people queuing to get in. They were having to stand for hours barefoot on hot tiles. We opted not to join the fray! We caught a fleeting glimpse of the temple as we passed by 😀.

    Our final stop of the afternoon wasn't on the itinerary. It was the inevitable shopping stop! We didn't linger 😂.

    We dropped Riaz off at the metro station and Kalim then drove us back to the hotel. Once there, we went across the road to the same restaurant I went to yesterday. We ordered a chicken dum biryani and a mutton fry biryani. I thought both were delicious. Luckily, despite the spice, Fiona agreed!
