Blunch

π Typical lunch. Actually not so typical as on this occasion the chapatis were from yesterday (and thus stiff). The red stuff was some absolutely delicious spicy-sweet cauliflower, accompanied by diced green beans, and the usual rice with spicy thick soup-like veg dish. I eat with a fork, but most of the locals (host included) mix it up and eat with their hand (right hand), which I actually find slightly disconcerting for some reason (I'm just too damn civilised). Today's meal was particularly good as the side dishes were procured from a local resturant (I gathered from the host—who's just taken over after having been away for a while in the adjoning seaside state of Kerala).

 

The filtered drinking water is bought in bottles, but they cook with municipal water, which also gets mixed with water from a well (pumped to tanks to the roof) for the taps. (complicated huh?)

 

This was a hurried camerphone shot as I've not yet "come out" as a blogger…
