The Mija Chronicles

Mexican food and culture, on both sides of the border

A few shots from India….

January 25, 2010 by Lesley Tellez

It’s been a crazy past five days. We’ve visited three cities — Delhi, Jaipur and Agra — and are on our way to a fourth, Jodhpur. I’ve eaten about a dozen pieces of naan, steaming and crispy from a tandoor oven, and I’ve fallen in love with aloo paratha, thin potato pancakes we’ve had twice for breakfast. You slather them with butter, break of a piece, and use it to scoop up some yogurt. Utterly fabulous.

I’ve got a few minutes before we board, so here are a few shots…

Those potato parathas, made by the house servant at our homestay in Delhi…

Balls of naan, ready to be baked in a clay oven, outside of a restaurant in Jaipur.

A vegetarian thali from that same restaurant…
