FOOD.

What India lacks in hostel buffet breakfasts, it makes up for in insanely good food elsewhere…  Some of the delights I have sampled so far:

Almond tea (ground almonds in a porridge-like consistency) with honey and lemon zest

Butter paneer masala with zeera (cumin) rice and chappati

Egg dosa with tomato and onion

Chana (chickpea) masala and rice

Cheese and mushroom dosa

Bebinca – an Indo-Portugese pudding made with ghee, egg, flour, sugar and coconut milk
