cant quite understand the mix here...but was super...

this was a surprise....the first day when we came back to the hotel in Jodhpur after the thrill of the camel crossing the dunes....was surprised to see this in my room! i stumbled upon it on the table and called up my close ones....wat was interesting about this is the mix. i couldnt quite get it and i still dont. so we got the red and green jelly reminded me of school days...yes bachpan (childhood)!! i even licked it between the salty stuff. and really, the red and green both had distinct tastes...kinda jammy like. in the middle are the hopeless papad...no taste. not required...maybe some sev would have been fun. or papad or some other daal and some spice...black pepper helloo? i wouldnt have them in a glass cup though....maybe sev in a bowl...actually the height kinda disrupts the aesthetics....
and then there was the mithai...the one on top...amazing...never had such a beautiful besan burfi with coconut...me not being much of the coconut fan was amazed at the subtle taste the coconut brought...
and miss triangle..i looked at it and was not interested in something which appeared to be sweet...why so much sweet...a little phobic of the mewa which would be filled in it...and then....and then...to my surprise it was cheesy...it was filled with cheese...mild and soft. the crunch of the pastry...the mildly done cheese. not it wasnt too cheesy not melting...that was amazing, coz it gave the indian touch. and the onions fired brown on top adding the sweetness...wow!

temptation again!

so whats funny today is that i havent had dinner last night and no breakfast in the morning either and here I am writing about what i love alot...food!
i am not hungry...
so this is one of the most amazing things i have ever had in my life! it was called a mud pie...and perhaps was the real mud pie we have ever had!..well, mud is symbolic...can represent the gooiness and texture of mud...but here is another interpretation (so stupid we never thought of it)...that the chocolate pie was baked in a mud case...my second reaction like, 'wow, what fusion'...i dint think of a chocolate pie which is so western in our earthern bowl...my first reaction of course was the excitement to end dinner with chocolate...ya in the hotel in Jodhpur, we were not getting chocolate desserts everyday...but this was the best...i ended up having three of these  (but friends dissuaded for the fourth!) and little dinner or maybe no dinner...its not new...but this is fusion and the beauty of living in a country where east meets west and north meets south....
question: is today's earthern ware eco-friendly compared to using normal dishes and washing them and reusing them? we also had chai in kulhars and the ceramic oldie tea cups with saucers...i opted the second coz i thought its more eco-friendly coz it gets washed then thrown. i mean discarding earthern stuff is good for the environment but we never discard it correctly....it ends up in the garbage dumps....
well, kulhar itself...or earthern itself resonates of how class meets taste...and how tastes of social classes change....maybe they used it coz it was economical and easy to recycle...but today they like it coz its classy, its upmarket.
