Eating Well

Last night we went to a lovely restaurant in Nashik and ate quite well. This is called a thali plate. This style of dining is available in Santa Cruz, but nothing like this quality and quantity. You just arrive at the restaurant, called a "hotel" and sit down. The servers bring all the food and condiments and refill as you eat unless you are vigorous with your declinations. There were four more food items yet to come when this photo was taken: rice, puris (like chapatis, but fried), a sweet yoghurt dessert dish, another yoghurt dish with a ball of rice in the middle. The food was fabulous. Very high quality.
