rainy days & pakoras n chat n puri bhaji n doodh patti

today was am-ma-zing. it was raining all over the place and for lunch we got inspired to go find some aaloo pakoras anywhere we could find them. lo and behold someone thought of this nimco styled chaat place in old Dubai and off we went.




so we got to the famous chowpati and i was like i want everything on the menu :) and between two people we ordered a plate of mix pakoras that had everything from palak, baingan, aaloo, piyaz, hari mirchain and even gobi i think. a couple of pieces of each to give you a taste with this really funky methi hari watery chutney. then i ordered a aaloo vara chana chaat which had this really nice sweet imly ki chutney on it with piyaz. very nice. and haffoo ordered the kachori chaat which looked much the same sans the vara. then there was the puri bhaji and the puri's were fresh hot puffy and made of AATA WHICH WAS PHENOMENAL. i love aatay ki puris. ooof. lovely. and the icing on the cake was the brilliant doodh patti wali chai. aaye haaaye haaye.. :)

it was cold and rainy and windy outside and we sat inside the little area looking out and eating the nice economical portions. our total bill = 22. :) sighhh.. watta great day.

so when we got back obviously i had to call funanie and tell her about the great stuff and then i had to write it down to capture it for posterity so here it is :)

happy rainy days
