No Photoshop Here!
I promise - I made no modifications to this photograph! This is the actual color of the Tandoor Gobi (cauliflower cooked in the tandoor oven) that I ordered at lunch yesterday. My companions from work, Ruchika and Sachin, looked surprised that I wanted this as a main course, and now I understand why. There is a difference between curries and "dry" food here - usually kebabs - and people hardly ever order a dry dish as a meal. Dry dishes are meant to accompany other foods and it's something of a no-no to order a dry dish and a naan, say. When locals look at me funny after I order, I just laugh at myself and shrug my shoulders. I'm still learning! Ahh... did anyone have any doubt that this would eventually turn into a food blog?

mmmmm. I just made Aloo Ghobi for dinner the other night and thought fondly of you. My next purchase should be a tandoor, but I need you to do some research for me while you are there. How DO they achieve such a brilliant shade?? I got so excited about Aloo Ghobi that I ordered take out of it on Wednesday night, but I also disobeyed the laws that guide Indian food consumers, and simply ordered naan as an accompaniment.
I say keep up the food posts!!
