eating out in Delhi
November 7th, 2008For the most part, I’m not as in love with Delhi fair as I was with the food I ate in Bangalore. Everything here seems to have a strong diesel note to it. Everything from the water and air to the food. In the food, it could be the overuse of asafoteda, a finishing spice that on its own tastes slightly of packaging. The other strong note, here, is kaffir lime, which as Cindy pointed out, is common in Thai, where I think it really belongs, but, here it leaves a … um… unpleasant aftertaste.
We’re off to the Taj Mahal this morning. I’m expecting monkeys, trash, incredible opulence, and lots of great Indian countryside en route. It is a 4 hour drive from our hotel.
