Foodie tag

Thanks to Deepa for tagging me with this foodie thing. I was just thinking that if I have to go ahead with this tag ‘coz I am not supposed to be a great foodie. But then when I started working on the list, I discovered how much I really love food.:) I have listed out 25 items below. And they are not in the order of preference.

1. Bengali sweets ( No wonder….I always try to make lot of friends in the bong community;))


2. Masala Dosa ( Every time I went to any hotel, I would read the menu card for half an hour and then order this. This habit of mine definitely drove my friends crazy.;))


3. Dal thadka (We call it “Thove”. I think this is most liked and most simple to make.)


4. Pulav (I love the way my mom makes it.)


5. Gensle ( This is an awesome speciality of my native place. A mixture of coconut, jaggery and rice flour is applied on turmeric leaves and heated. I think my granny makes them the best.)


6. Banana buns ( Finally, I have learnt to make them like my mom.;))


7. Gulab Jamun ( I think this is the most commonly liked sweet.)


8. Rava Idli ( I luv the MTR rava idlis. They rock.)


9. Pathrode ( A coastal area delicacy. I love my aunt’s pathrode.)


10. Rasam ( This is something That I keep experimenting with different ingredients.)


11. Curd Rice with pickles ( Deadly combination!)


12. Vada ( Nothing like vada and sambar.)


13. Uppittu or upma (Many people hate this for breakfast. But I think it is one of the delicious and nutritious dishes)


14. Ragi Rotti ( The landlady of the first house in which we lived had given us this rotti. I think that was the most authentic taste of a ragi rotti.)



15. Jolada Rotti and Brinjal curry (This is the one that they give in Kamat Yatrinivas. Amazing food.)


16. Banana split ( I just love ice creams. But this is one of my favorites, especially the one made at Corner House.)


17. Any fresh fruit ( I am a total fruitarian;))


18. Mango idli ( I just love this. But the sad thing is that it is a seasonal dish.Sigh...)
    


19. Jackfruit dosa (Again this is a seasonal dish. Sigh again...)
    


20. Cucumber idli ( This can have sugar or jaggery in it.)


21. Litchi Milkshake
    


22. Pasta ( No one makes it like “Little Italy”.)


23. Mango thambli ( The curd/buttermilk preparation they make at my native.)


24. Pani puri ( Especially the ones that they make at the road side. Mom, this is not for you.;))
    

Lots of them could not make it to the list. Maybe I can list them out when I am tagged again. :)
It is my turn to tag others. Well, I will tag anyone and everyone who reads this post.:)
