The Panjab. And Delhi. And Inbetween.

Just a big random bunch of images from a work trip to Panjab and Delhi. Some from the road. Some from hotels. Quick review, awesome roads and other infrastructure. Crazy food, panner and/or ghee/butter/milk/cream in everything we ate from Channa to Rajma to Dal to Rotis to Kheer. The craziest bit was the deep fried, tawa cooked paratha served with butter and curd. Like that only the place is. And who would have though, fabulous Vada Sambar at the Ludhiana train station.

A view of the Delhi Ridge from the Maurya.

The lobby at the Maurya.

More ridgey goodness.

Full fat Dahi, served with the aforementioned Paratha. Look for the fly in the curd!
Party bar in Ludhiana! Open till 3 AM. Take that Bangalore!

Mmmmm... fried goodness. Chandigargh.

More of the same!

Sambar Vada, as attested to above.

Dhabha meal between Chandigarh and Ludhiana.

One whole liter of Lassi.

Green, green fields of home. They grow paddy in Panjab. Who knew.

Same. Like that.

Ketta cool mode of transport.

Question, if any, in the comments and I'll answer 'em all.

The dahi in the pic looks really thick. usually they add extra milk powder to thicken it. But this time " the fly did it".

Milk powder in the dahi?! On top of all the other dairy they consume? How is it that the state manages to evade a collective heart attack?
