Wow! Lip Smacking..
Another variety worth mentioning is the AMBOLI from Konkan..Its a Malvani variety of bhakari made from rice and slightly fermented like appam..Goes well with fish preparations of Malvan..

Seafood restaurants like Nisarg and Konkan Express in Pune serve Amboli.

@Abhishek (urf Hackatac!): Thank you! I do hope the situation in Kashmir gets normal enough to plan a family vacation. I love their food, which is best sampled in the cool weather of the Himalayan foothills.

And to think that I'd traveled across the length and breadth of India! You've done superb work in detailing all this, and I'm really starting to salivate.
Was in Kashmir for quite some time on an Army project, but was unable to step out into the city due to security reasons, and we had to make to with the officer's mess food.
Definately going to hit the foodie streets in Jammy and Srinagar when I head there next year on my trusty old Bullet!
Cheers, and keep the food coming...err, or was it posts? ;)

@Anon/s: Not sure what you mean. The picture of the parathas is linked back to the Flickr account of the photographer. And I do remember sending a Flickr mail to the author. Please click on the picture to go to the author's page.

The kachori is not the one available in benaras(i'm babarsi livin in mumbai). The one shown here is available in MuM sweetshops as Punjabi Kachori, it is probly gujju lilva kachori though. The kachori gali is mainly (i'm talking about locals)visited by those who go to ghats for cremation. People come from far of places , neigbouring districts etc. for last rites in KASHI. after creamation the tired blokes get their tummies stuffed in kachori gali. Seems like one of the paradoxes one of oldest city and culture in the world .

@zhu: Indian cuisine should be easy to come by in Canada, but I am not sure if you will find everything described in this post there.

Lovely post..food and discovery of tastes are such an integral part of growig up ..Whe we were kids, chapathis and puris with chole or just a simple sabzi (read-tomato and onion and sometimes potato) used to be a diner treat if we behaved ourselves .

Oh, the food looks so awesome!

I love dal and a bunch of other stuff, but I must admit I'm still very new to Indian cuisine. Learning fast though! :D

Hi Shantanu, wonderful article! I am quite pleased to see one of my photographs linked here, and especially for asking my permission to do so.

Now I see that Manisha is the one who led you on to do that and I appreciate that too. She is ever the vigilant one.

@lakshmi: It's been a long time since I saw you here! I was in Mysore for a fairly long time, but that was a long time ago. I am in Pune now. It's easy to get good Konkan food here.
