Zaika India ka:)

A tag after a long time:) yay!
Have been tagged by amrit! and according to 'rules' I must list down 5 of my most memorable meals:) :) [now you now why I picked this tag so earnestly.. The chaturi that I am ;p ] lol
But rules can go for a toss[as always] Just 5 meals of the infinite I have had?? :o badi na-insafi hai!
Don't worry I am not going to list all those infinite meals [for the fear of public dhulai] :p

and before I begin:
on top of the list is meals cooked by mommyy[on top of evryone's list I am sure:)]
whether its her chole bhature or aloo ki paronthi..or rajma chawal..! (Nom Nom)
even if sumone [ read: me] is angry n sulky they make someone[ read: me] hop to the dining table merrily;)

Okay now my memorable meals:
Most of them are ones had up north:

1. Ahuja no.1 dhaba @ Murthal, Near Dilli: ok don't laugh thats the name of the dhaba:) tandoori aloo paranthas they serve  are yum! Dip them in white butter and their acchar:
* still lost in thoughts*

2. Haveli @ Jalandhar: I remember I was soooo hungry while traveling from Amritsar to Ludhiana and this marvellous place cropped up on the highway: Authentic Punjabi ambience and delicious food:
sarson ka saag n makki ki roti..* sighs*

3. Manwar , Near Jodhpur: one of the bestest meals I have ever had.Purely Rajasthani and purely scrumptious.Any gastronome's delight! Right in the middle of the desert!
Ker sangri..daal batti churma..gatte ki sabzi..kairi kopta..see I even remember the names of the dishes:p
and what better for a veggie like me: it was purely vegetarian!:) yippie!

4. PanditJi ke Chole Kulche, Ludhiana:
The best street chole Kulche with Imli chutney and Raw onions.  This fellow has been around since years near Prince Hostel Lane.

5. Sarvana bhavan @ Dilli:
Yes I am a punjabi but I totally love South Indian food!
and Sarvana Bhavan at C.P is where South Indian Cuisine epicures must head to!
Awesome spread of doses with a variety of chutneys.
No wonder there is always a painful waiting time during meal hours :(

6. Haldirams @ Dilli:
I am a diehard Haldirams fan! If they had to promote it I'd do it wholeheartedly :p
I even told their manager to suggest their authorities to start one in Mumbai:(

Golgappas, Aloo tikkis, Chole Kulche, Rajkachori.
* mouth waters*

7. Khushiram @ Ludhiana:
Purely punjabi. A vegetarian eatery with amazing thalis. A wide range of sweetmeats too!

8. Natraj thali @ Udaipur:
Our guide suggested this place. I had told him to suggest a place which I would remember forever and Hola! He certainly made sure the taste of this place lingers in my mind forever!
:)

9. Janta sweets at Jodhpur:
For their delectable Mirchi Badas! Piping hot and irresistible!

11. Bharawan Da dhaba, Amritsar:
For the best stuffed Tandoori Kulchas, be it Paneer, Aloo, Pyaz!

12. Birla Mandir , Mathura:
There are tiny stalls outside this temple all selling the best Aloo tikkis and Gol Gappe! Worth it totally!

13. Best Shikanji( Nimbu Pani) at Modinagar, Uttar Pradesh ( While visiting Uttaranchal, Modinagar falls on the way)

14. Rhythm this one's for you and me both: Pahalwan di hatti, Jammu:)FOR THEIR CHOCOLATE NUTTIES!! :))
I am sure everyone has their very own list of yummm places in the country that offers so innumerable and diverse cuisines so tagging my fellow bloggers:

Raj,Rhythm, Rimz, Mahesh, Isha, Pramoda, Vittal, Amith,Pallavi, Shaun,Umesh, Bharat, Manisha, Randeep, Shantanu, Amit,Rachana, Harsha, Harshita, Bhavesh...
