      Indian Accent, New Delhi

      2. november 2024, India ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

      Die Ribs waren wirklich sehr gut. Sicherlich haben sie ihren Beitrag für eine modere Indische Küche geleistet. Aber einiges hat schon einfach nicht gepasst.
      Auf die Weinbegleitung sollte man unbedingt verzichten. „Black Tower Riesling“ - „DIE MEIST EXPORTIERTE WEINMARKE DEUTSCHLANDS
      Black Tower wird seit mehr als 50 Jahren von Weingenießern auf der ganzen Welt geschätzt und in über 35 Länder exportiert. Durch die langjährige Expertise im Winemaking, konstante Qualität und einen einzigartigen Look ist Black Tower ein internationaler Bestseller und damit die Nr. 1 aus Deutschland.“ zumindest was dazu gelernt.

      „Winning recipe: Indian Accent never fails to impress with its winning combination of creative, modern dishes and warm hospitality. Season after season, year after year, chef Manish Mehrotra’s inventive tasting menus have played judiciously with his country’s palate to craft truly unique takes on the classics of the Indian subcontinent.

      What to eat? The chef’s tasting menu is a colourful procession of small bites, such as house-made paneer with sarson saag (mustard greens in a creamy and spicy sauce) and pickled onion, or meetha achaar pork ribs. The ribs, which have been on the menu since day one, are served with sour green apple and a sweet mango pickle sauce – a tribute to Mehrotra’s first job at a South-East Asian restaurant. The degustation offers the full experience, with a vegetarian version also permanently on offer, but there’s a comprehensive à la carte menu and a four-course lunch too.

      Dough of dreams: Bread is anything but an afterthought at Indian Accent and there’s even a dedicated bread bar with plentiful options. As well as a traditional selection, tried-and-tested specialties raise the bar even higher: snack on wild mushroom kulcha drizzled with truffle oil, or a pink peppercorn and jalapeño roti.
      More on the chef: Passionate and generous, Mehrotra cut his teeth in Mumbai at the Thai Pavilion of the Taj Hotels and has now been with Old World Hospitality for more than two decades. In recent years, he has opened several restaurants around the world, including a highly successful outpost of Indian Accent in New York and, in 2023, a branch in Mumbai.“

      Abendessen im „Indian Accent“

      2. november 2024, India ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

      Nach einem kleinen Cocktail im Hotel haben wir uns einen Uber zum Restaurant genommen. Nachdem das India Gate noch zu weit weg war, haben wir dort noch einen kleinen Stop gemacht. Leider war alles abgesperrt. Die 8-spurige Straße haben wir zwei mal überquert - was für ein Abenteuer!

      Im Restaurant angekommen, haben wir gleich bestellt: 2x Menü non-veg mit Weinbegleitung.

      Den Wein lässt man besser weg. Das Essen war gut.

      Humayun’s Tomb

      27. oktober 2024, India ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      Our next stop was at Humayuns tomb.

      Humayun's tomb is the tomb of Mughal emperor, Mirza Nasir al-Din Muhammad commonly known as Humayun situated in Delhi, India. The tomb was commissioned by Humayun's first wife and chief consort, Empress Bega Begum. The emperor died in his temple by accident. He carried some books, going downstairs and slipped.

      Along the way to the tumb, there are a lot of other monuments. Among them, Tomb and mosque of Isa Khan, Arab Serai (guesthouse) and the Barber’s Tomb. Why a tumb for the royal barber? It is said, that the emperor was betrayed by a lot of people, but the one, who regularly had a blade at his throat, didn’t harm him.

      Delhi sightseeing - like a tourist

      23. oktober 2019, India ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      After our eat like a local tour we decided to spend the next day taking it easy within the confines of the hotel. Our India tour doesn't officially start until the evening when we meet the tour group then of full swing on Wednesday morning with a sightseeing tour of Delhi.

      First stop was a mosque but no photos taken taken because they charge for use of a camera. As far as mosques go it was not particularly decorative. After that we had a rickshaw ride around the Chandni Chowk market area. Organised chaos. Moved on from there to visit the memorial of Mahatma Ghandi, drove past India Gate and a look around the Parliament complex - lovely buildings made from red and white sandstone.

      Lunch was held at a silk rug factory. Plied us with food and drink, demonstrated how the rugs were made and then proceeded to convince us that we needed to buy one. Very expensive and probably worth it as they are completely hand knotted- takes a family of four around 2 years to make a large rug. Cost would be around $25,000USD. Fortunately, the designs were too traditional for my liking but I believe 2 members of the group did buy a rug each (probably more in the $2000 range)

      After lunch and rug sales we visited Humayun's tomb. This mausoleum built in 1560's is a precurser to the Taj Mahal and you can see that in the symmetry and domes. Final stop was Qutab Minar, an ornate 72m tall minaret . Beats me how they make these things. Finally the drive back to the hotel should have only taken about an hour, however India is currently in Dwali season (sort of the Hindu equivalent of Christmas) and the roads were absolutely gridlocked. Two and a half hours later we finally arrived back after hitting all the major tourist hotspots in Delhi.

      Wanted: Patience

      12. desember 2023, India ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Today I am heading to Rishikesh to spend some time with meditation and practicing yoga in a ashram… the first challenge have already started, keep calm and relaxed while train is delayed hour for hour. Observing the people stepping in out the trains, carrying children and lot if stuff, gathered families sitting the ground eating or sleeping, mothers breastfeeding their little babies and so in is just entertaining.

      India has the fourth largest railroad system in the world, behind only the USA, Russia and China.

      The Indian Railways consists of a total track length of 126,366 km on 67,956 km of track along with 7,335 stations. The railroads operates 13,523 passenger trains and 9,146 freight trains daily. The railroad sector in India ships 1418.1 tons of freight and Indian Railways transports over eight billion passengers every year.

      I can only admire this logistical work. Eat, wait & take it easy…

      As I learned today: INDIA GREAT ALWAYS LATE!

      18:00 departed the train and for my fortune it figured out I have a bed in a sleeper…

      Binyani (fried dough Ballspieles with a spicy lentil potato mix) and Chai Masala are also provided… happy me 💞

      New Delhi

      29. januar 2018, India ⋅ 🌫 18 °C

      Wow... was für eine chaotische, laute, dreckige und magische Stadt Delhi ist! Alle zwei Meter sind wir wechselweise angeekelt, begeistert, betroffen, gestresst, verzaubert und überwältigt von den vielen Eindrücken. Unsere ersten Tage hier waren ein einziges Gemisch aus lautem Hupen, „Miss one photo please“, Smog, wunderschönen Mausoleen und abenteuerlichen Straßenüberquerungen. Morgen früh geht’s weiter mit der Bahn nach Agra und wir müssen den lieben, netten Leuten aus unserem Homestay schon wieder „Namaste“ sagen.Les mer

      Humayuns Tomb

      9. april 2017, India ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      Von der Einäscherungsstätte Mahatma Gandhis aus, geht es weiter zu Humayuns Tomb, also dem Grabmal des Humayun.

      Humayun war der zweite Mogul Indiens. Er herrschte 1530 bis 1556. Um sein Mausoleum herum ließ er einen Park errichten, so dass eine große Anlage entstand. Das Mausoleum ist zweistöckig, aus einer Kombination von rotem Sandstein und weißem Marmor gebaut und wird​ durch eine große Kuppel gekrönt. Im unteren Stockwerk wurden Persönlichkeiten der Mogulzeit begraben. Im oberen Teil liegt das Mausoleum Humayuns und seiner Familie.

      Humayuns Grabstätte wurde 1564 durch seine ihm treu ergebene und in Liebe verbundene Gattin vollendet. Im Inneren des Mausoleums, befinden sich mehrere Räume. Der zentrale Raum enthält das Grab des Humayun. Von diesem Raum aus gelangt der Besucher sternförmig in weitere Räume. In diesem Räumen befinden sich die Grabstätten von Humayuns Frau und seiner 9 Töchter.

      Im Garten/Park des Mausoleums liegen 2 weitere Grabmäler. Symmetrisch angelegte Wasserläufe und Wasserbecken durchziehen den ganzen Garten.

      Ein wunderschöner Ort zum Verweilen und Flanieren.

      Humayuns Grab

      1. april 2019, India ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      Da Ines im Moment noch die Spätfolgen ihres Jetlags ausbadet, starteten wir heute erneut eher spät in den Tag. Das erlaubte es allerdings, dass ich mich über die Sehenswürdigkeiten in Delhi schlau machen konnte und dass die grösste Hitze schon vorbei war, als wir es schliesslich aus dem Hostelzimmer schafften.

      Bei 35 Grad machten wir uns zu Humayuns Grab auf, einem eindrücklichen Grabmal des zweiten indischen Kaisers aus der sogenannten Mughal-Dynastie. Die Mughals beherrschten Indien vom 16. Jahrhundert bis zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts und waren zentralasiatischer und persischer Abstammung, was im orientalischen Stil des Monuments erkennbar ist.

      Das orientalische Gefühl blieb auch nach dem Verlassen von Humayuns Grab bestehen: In einem muslimischen Viertel von Delhi gelandet, waren wir auf einmal von bärtigen Männern, vollverschleierten Frauen, Bettlern und Obdachlosen umgeben. Nach einem spontanen Anfall von Kulturschock suchten wir mit einer Rikscha fluchtartig das Weite... Zurück in unserem Viertel angekommen, fühlten wir uns nach dem vorangegangenen Erlebnis schon fast zuhause. :) in einem Restaurant unweit unseres Hostels genossen wir eine Art südindische Crêpe (Dosa), die wir sicher nicht zum letzten Mal gegessen haben. Fazit: Erster Touri-Tag in Indien mit Bravour bestanden!

      Humayun's Tomb

      30. mai 2019, India ⋅ ☀️ 42 °C

      It was built in 1565 A.D. (nine years after the death of Humayun) by his widow Bega Begam. Inside the walled enclosure the most notable features are the garden squares (chaharbagh) with pathways of water channels, centrally located in front of the well proportioned mausoleum which is topped by a double dome.

      There are several graves of Mughal rulers located inside the walled enclosure dating from 1857 A.D

      In more recent times the building served as a shelter for Muslum Refugees.
