We tried a bit of Indian cooking today

 

The gobi manchuri wasn't much like gobi manchuri but it was really tasty.  The Dhal looks like runny dog poo, the saghu we threw straight in the bin after this photo.  The poori were the best and Tidge made those from scratch.

Yummy

Learning Indian cooking

Today Tidgy went to a cookery lesson and learned how to make poori and saghu.  They were delicious.

Rat - splat

Not sure what I'd been up to back there...

So there you have it...

Interestingly, this (vast) government building, called Vidhana Soudha, and built in the 1960s,was considered so splendid that in 2005 they decided to build another one (Vikasa Soudha) right next door.  Sadly they got the Vastu Shastra wrong (Feng Shui in ...er, English), so the building apparently remains largely unused. I don't really know if that's true, but the newer building doesn't look very loved or lived in.

He's got his passport photos...
