Lunch at Hotel Priya's Restaurant
|
|
|
|
The cheap, casual eatery where we had lunch. I think it's simply called
the restaurant attached to Hotel Priya. If you view the full-sized
image, you can read the list of items in the thali lunch. For
reference, we did not stay in this hotel.
| Another perspective of the same joint.
| Clockwise from left:
chapati - greasy
rice
rasgulla (a clear, sweet ball eaten for dessert, not unlike gulab jamun except without the dairy component) - a bit dry. didn't fall apart.
curd with lentils (?) - simultaneously very sour and very sweet!
paneer curry - decent enough. with a thick sauce.
potato curry - decent enough. I preferred the paneer curry.
red onions
chutney

Browsing Jodhpur
|
|
|
A busy street in Jodhpur. Like some other pictures from this trip, it
really captures the essence of an Indian city.
| Inside the densely packed English-language section of the used
bookstore we browsed for a while.
If you view a larger image, you can read the names of a bunch of the
authors they have.

Samosa Stand

The crowd by the samosa stand.
| A video showing samosas being freshly made. These guys look like
they're having fun. :)
| My good samosa, served piping hot and thus wrapped in a newspaper for my
protection.

Dinner at Midtown Vegetarian Restaurant

|
Midtown Vegetarian Restaurant, where we had dinner.
| Navratan korma. We actually had to send this back because the cream
split.
| Kabuli is a specialty of Jodhpur and one of this restaurant's specialties.
It's vegetables baked with rice, milk, pieces of bread, and fruits. Had
a kick in places. I liked it. One vegetable was that weird root again (arrowroot?), but could simply be
potato I suppose.
| As we served the kabuli, I realized there was another layer under the
rice. This is a cutaway picture of the dish from the side.

Train Station
|
|
Jodhpur's snazzy train station. It definitely looks more modern than
all others we saw.
