I never realised that this thread turned "Tasty" so quick. Since I keep moving around, I will post some of my favorite hang out places which comes to top of my mind along with the dishes which I love: 1. Bangalore - Nandini (Chain of rest) - Hyderabadi Biryani. I just love this dish and never miss out whenever I am in BLR specially the Nandini located at New BEL Rd. 2. Mumbai - Crepe Station - Their Pasta Arabiata and Butter chicken is mind boggling. Also I think this is the only place in Mumbai where you would find Punjabi tasting Butter chicken. -Chickoo flavoured ice cream at Naturals - Keema pav at local shop at Matunga. - kababs at Md Ali road. - Alferados at Juhu 3. Delhi - Shwarma at New friends Colony. My absolute favourite. - Bercos for Chinese. Both at CP and Noida. - Kathi rolls at Nizams (Defence Colony) 4. Guwahati - Chung Fa at Narangi. Great Chinese - Dynasty (Hotel owned by Marwaris so you will get authentic Rajasthani food there) These are the places that have come at top of my head. I will post as soon as some others come into my mind.

The story I had hinted at was the following: my Bong friends often referred to bread as `Pau(n) ruti' (`ruti' for `roti'). I used to think that the first term must have as a corruption of `pav', whose history I did not know before this post. I was told that this might have been a parallel possibility: earlier, bread in India came in one pound packs in butter paper, right from the Empire days more so, in Calcutta, where the British had their centre of power for quite a while. The `pound ruti' changed to `pau(n) ruti', according to that point of view. It is only towards the 1970s that the `double bread', or two pound bread (the bigger packs) came into prominence. I wonder how true this story is! Cheers, Sumantra.

The Shettys behind `Naturals' have quite a fan following, not just for their innovative and delicious flavours, the concept of creating ice cream without the two chemicals (which give it the `ice cream' texture) CMC and GMC, this has appealed to many. Thanks for the large list - now I'll be busier if I get time on my next visit to these places! Cheers, Sumantra.

What one might take as an absolute kosher South Indian delicacy (which has a very large number of variants, including one without the pulses, the Tamilian `kuzhambu'), has a Maharashtrian angle to its origin, from the ruler of Thanjavur, who given an absence of a key ingredient in his favourite dish, `did as the locals do', by replacing a cricual component with tamarind, and named it in honour of his guest, Sambhaji Rao. I did not believe this story when I first heard this a few months back, from a senior Tamilian colleague, who referred me to an article in the Hindu, for reference. There are slight variations to the story in the Wikipedia entry, such as the crucial spice being star anise and not kokum, but the general version was quite similar. Cheers, Sumantra.

With cottage cheese, one is tempted to add tomatoes, but these give a completely different taste here, quite different from what the original Kashmiri recipe warrants. Cheers, Sumantra.

Vada Pav? I miss that. No decent Vada Pao in Delhi. I had an incredible Vada Pav in Bangalore the other day - in a street called "Thindi Beedi" - translated to English that means "Food Street". This is a 100m stretch of a lane in VV Puram which is a humungous food street every evening after 6 pm. Outstanding South Indian Veg snacks - and not a place to stand or move on that street at "peak hours" - it's so popular. Anyway - the Vada Pav was an amazing discovery in the middle of traditional Kannadiga cuisine. _________________ We miss you Nalini!

I thought you were a French desi stuck in BOM and your culinary preferences was only European? Do you like Maharashtra's national food ... Vada Pav? Haah! Hardly French and hardly stuck! Whatever made you think that? I'm totally Bombay born and raised and have happily lived here more or less all my life - though I do enjoy grumbling about everything that's gone wrong with Bombay over the years. Besides, having one French grandparent doesn't make me a frog (just like the occassional competent JetChild doesn't make the lot of them excellent service providers ) However, I absolutely refuse to eat Indian food when travelling out of the country. What's the point of going 10,000 km away only to eat what you can get at home, and better? And yes, I love bhel and I eat it almost every day. It's my fixed evening nasta: Tikkha, sooka bhel, with extra kanda and extra limboo! Vada Pao too, of course - I'm just as Maharashtrian as you are (except that I'm not a manoos) - but the bhaji must be made properly and the spices spread evenly, because I don't like the taste of potatoes themselves - too starchy. And the same place in Worli does great vada pao, in addition to bhajiya pao and kanda bhajiya. Then there is a long list of things I absolutely can't stand, including : milk, ghee, paneer, kairi, okra, chickoo etc - and almost any food that has those things in it. In general though, I like food from the west and south. I don't really like north Indian food very much at all (too much overcooking and heavy gravies and masalas in my opinion). And I have no idea what eastern food is. If I were on death row, my last supper would be : bhel, pizza, beer, xacutti, sabudana, steak tartare and khandvi! _________________ four years free of jetya punti!

This can be easily spotted from the train itself. The owner is a Konkani (possibly from close to the Mangalore area), but the cuisine is the South Karnataka Udupi style. In 2001 or so, the fixed thali costed Rs.19, whereas the eat-all-you-can was a royal Rs.50/-. No guesses for which one I went in for Cheers, Sumantra.

If it is Bong food you are talking about, a simple search results from: http://www.justdial.com/Mumbai/bengali-restaurants Howrah in the Fort area was one which my Bong friends spoke highly about, though it may not be too pocket-friendly. Ditto for `Oh Calcutta', which has a joint in Delhi as well. I have been there a few times (never on any occasion have I been the paying party - I guess the reader will get a hint about the prices), but the food there is simply amazing. This place has a loyal followers, and the crowds there speak volumes about the food. I got some idea about Bong speciality dishes from this place - dishes I had merely heard about. The vegetarian options are much more than the common Delhi'ite like me would have thought. Bijoli Grill are a famous catering company from Calcutta, and there are many outlets in Delhi. they do not go in for traditional bong dishes - they are mostly the Bong-style fast food type, but often too oily for my tastes. They did the catering for a few events I have attended (a senior colleague heavily patronises them, and gets some great deals), and on one occasion, a simple `khichdi' (`khichuri' to the Bong) was just out of the world.

And even if I have, I didn't know it. For example, varan, sorpotel, dhokla and shendwees are all from the west. Dosa and curd rice from the south. Butter chicken and rajma from the north. Halwa and Manchurian are from phoren. But when it comes to any food from eastern India, I draw a blank.

They very publicly announced their reason for shutting down was the increased rental rates which they could not sustain. I noticed last week that Casas was still open in Indiranagar, I know the one in Koramangala shut down long ago, not sure about the one in Cunningham Road. Of course these days there are multiple places for soups, pastas and desserts, so though we miss Casas as the institution, it's not missed for the exclusive Euro-restaurant it used to be. _________________ We miss you Nalini!

Embedding pictures through the Apple Tablet is sadly impossible. I can only name a few dishes and restaurants (if anyone wishes to visit this island! An advice - if possbile, before 2015 would be awesome!) If Kolkata is rolls.. Mumbai is vada pav.. Then Colombo is Kotthu. Of course, road side food here is safe! Its basically roti, spoilt horribly, but the result is something which I will miss once I leave Colombo for univ in 2 years. I do not know how they do it, but its awesome! Next is hoppers and string hoppers, a very westernised way of saying appam in this country, with an egg or meat in the centre. String hopper is the same, but it takes the shape of a noodle cake. Most preparations here are 'deviled'. Let it be beef, chicken, crab, hot dogs or Maggie Noodles. Its a very spocy prepation, something the people with extremely powerful taste buds would like. Bakeries here are fighting for the second best bakery products. (Best is, and will always be, Kyani's!) Its all very fresh and warm. Restaurants, there is a HUGE variety! Rajabojun for Sri Lankan Beach Wadiya for Sea Food The Baverian for German food Chesa Swiss for European And etc...I will extend this list when I have the time!
