Brunch and vegetable shopping

We both slept a lot better last night. When we were up and about, we ordered a black coffee and a lemon tea on the room and made our plans for the day.

We took an auto to Connaught Place. It was Fiona's first auto experience and she loved it! We went straight to the Flavour Factory where I went the other day with Mansi. We shared a masala dosa and a tomato and onion uttapam and we both had a sweet lassi. Fiona is getting braver with her food choices, although she's still very nervous about ice 😀. The ladies on the table next to us were celebrating a birthday, so they sent over a piece of cake for us. It was overly sweet and had more synthetic cream than cake, but we ate it to be polite 😊.

After our brunch, we went for a walk around Connaught Place. Fiona got at least a year's worth of good luck when a pigeon pooped on her foot 😂. Being Monday, Central Park was closed, so we walked up to the street where all the state emporia are. They were just setting up a big craft and food fair, so we had some tasting samples. We bought some broccoli chips and some beetroot snacks for the train, and Fiona got some sweets to take home with her.

We then took an auto back to our hotel, where we rested up for half an hour before taking another auto to our cooking class an hour away on the other side of the city. It was turning into a day completely about the food!

Lubna, our host, welcomed us to her lovely home and garden. We had coffee and snacks, made by one of her two houseboys, in the lounge while we chatted about what we were going to cook. We then took a taxi to Lubna's favourite market to buy some missing ingredients. While we were there, we had some chaat. Fiona was very nervous about eating this street food, but she went with it and thought it was delicious. We also watched a guy making dosa dough.Leggi altro
