When your away from your home country, you miss a lot of things, family, friends, the home you grew up in, but food is something that tops the list too. Or at least for me. Somehow it does not matter how many Indian restaurants or take outs there are, it just does not replace the real deal, not to mention having to drive all the way to get them in the first place.
This past week we've been missing our home town, especially the evening South Indian snacks :) How we miss having easy access to tasty tea time snacks, mainly the savoury ones. Bhajis, Bondas, vadais, Samosas, Egg puffs, chaats, LOL the list goes on. Don't get me wrong I love the food here, but its sometime just too sweet and we end up longing for something spicy to cleanse the palate. And that's when we miss home even more, we end up talking about how awesome it is back home, how easy it is to get something you wish. Even our sweet shops and bakeries have something savoury.
So today I made one the easiest South Indian snack, the Bhaji :) (with potatoes) just to cherish and calm my taste buds :)
I'm not writing the recipe cos there are hundreds of them on the internet. But if any of you want it, let me know.
The title of the post can be interpreted in a different way also. In a canine sort of a way. :P
ReplyDeleteSorry about that! Jokes apart, the image of that bhaji is mouth watering,more so for folks like me who are a shame in the kitchen! Have shared some of my experiences here:http://ravlee.blogspot.com/2012/04/kitchen-kitsch.html
