We got back from India early Saturday morning after a looong flight. What an incredible trip! After 16 days, we never got sick of the food and I now love Indian food even more than before. It was so fun to try all of the new dishes and the difference between north and south was huge. Heavy curries in the north and lots of fresh, grilled seafood and coconut in the south. Yum!
We took a cooking class in Kerala with this great woman, Nimmy, so I will definitely be making some of those dishes soon!
Meanwhile, here are some pictures of food just to make everyone jealous and hungry...

Thank you to my amazing husband for this unforgettable trip!
What a beautiful trip~ That seafood was probably spectacular. Love the curries and coconut..I can imagine the inspiration you gained while there.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It definitely inspired me to make more Indian food! The Southern Indian food especially was quite simple and delicious. I will be posting more recipes.
DeleteYour trip sounds fabulous. My husband and I are beginning to plan India for December 2013 and would love if you could share your itinerary/feedback. It will be our first time in India :-) thanks!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi! Sorry for the delay! We had the most amazing time, and I'd be happy to share our itinerary! We were there for 16 days and went through a company called Enchanting India - they did a wonderful job. We spent the first two nights in Delhi, than a night in Agra, one night at Samode Palace outside of Jaipur, two nights in Jaipur, three nights in Udaipur, 1 night in Cochin, 1 night on a houseboat, 3 nights at Marari Beach Resort, and another night in Cochin. It was such an amazing trip! I'd be happy to share any information about the restaurants we went to, hotels, etc.
DeleteAmazing! We are just now planning our itin so I just popped over to see if you had responded - perfect timing =) I'm going to check out Enchanting India. If we get serious I'll ask about hotels/restaurants/etc. Thanks so much!! Happy cooking/traveling =)
