Dilli Haat Goes Rural

This wonderful display of a rural household has been set up at the entrance of Dilli Haat to greet the visitors who throng the place to enjoy the delicious food and enjoy shopping.

Green People!

These green people adorn the walls of Nirula's Potpourri, Connaught Place. I like the lemon green woman with the hand on her waist the best as she invites food enthusiasts to indulge in some food therapy!

Cafe Turtle

Bright yellow walls, green furniture and delicious food is what Cafe Turtle located in Khan Market offers. It makes for a nice evening, where you can chat with friends, have a conversation with a colleague or read a book on a warm evening.

Colorful Salad

A plate full of tasty tomatoes, radishes, carrots, beetroots and cucumbers. A generous sprinkling of chopped coriander leavers and a few green chillies. A wonderful, healthy, filling salad is ready to beat the Delhi summer.

Gujarati/Rajasthani Meal --- Rajdhani

Thali, literally a plate of dishes comprising of all the food groups. It is a complete meal that caters to all the tastes - sweet, sour, spicy and bland. It is a balanced diet that has vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals, fats, proteins and water. And the best part is that it is DELICIOUS. I went to a Gujarati/Rajasthani (from the Western Indian states of Gujarat and Rajasthan) specialty restaurant called Rajdhani for dinner yesterday. The restaurant offers just one thing at lunch and dinner --- Thali. If your are in Delhi, you must reserve one meal for this joint.

The unique thing about this place is they treat you with the traditional Indian hospitality and the waiters return to your table every few minutes recommending you to taste various dishes and refilling your bowls, plate and glasses. When the meal is over, they bring this amazing looking vessel (posted below). The surahi (pot with a spout) is used to pour warm water on your hands as you wash them into the bowl with the holes. Don't worry the water doesn't run down from the holes... it is infact stored below the sieve.
