Food blog?

I finally got around to uploading some pictures I took from New Delhi, which are, conveniently, all pictures of food! I feel like there is no better way to describe my experiences in India than with descriptions of food. : )

My second night in Delhi, we were still super jet lagged, so we were wide awake at 3 AM. Instead of lying in the dark and trying to sleep, we ate a breakfast feast of Haldiram's sweet and savory treats! Haldiram's in a chain in India that makes sweets and savory snacks that can be purchased bakery-style, consumed in the store, or brought home in vacuum sealed bags. We ate there 3 times during our 2 days in Delhi! Here are some of my favorite treats!

A pic of everything we ate that morning:
Starting at the top: caju barfi, a cashew sweet with a thin layer of edible silver foil, dhokla, see below, muraba/peta, see below, sandesh, a very light milk based sweet with pistachio and saffron seasoning.

So my favorite thing was this savory snack (shown below) that is originally from the state of Gujarat, in western India. It is a variation of the traditional dhokla; it is made out of gram flour and rolled up like those pin wheels cookies, or like a cinnamon bun. The insides of the dhokla have coconut, mustard seeds, and coriander. It is SO good!
I also liked the sandesh, because it was super light and super tasty. It melted in my mouth- YUM! It also comes in many varieties, so I sampled cashew and other flavors the next day. My mom's favorite dish is peta, pictured below, which is made out of a fruit, I think. It is super sweet, so sweet that even I can't eat more than a bite at a time!
