Chuski

If you are a street food lover and you are always on the look out for something unhealthy yet tasty then, this is one of the many, that you'll find on the streets of India.
How many of you know about "Chuski"? I didn't, till I met my husband, yes I had my first Chuski with my husband on the streets of New Delhi.
Chuski is nothing but "Ice gola"..solid ice crushed and then shaped with a stick in a glass then liquid juice is poured on top with some masala and is served to you. Now why the name "Chuski"...I think, it is because, isse chuss chuss ke hi khana hota hain...chusna in English means sucking ..you need to close your lips on the ice and suck the liquid out of it.
It is available in many flavours like Orange, Mango, Rose, Khus and my favourite Kala Khatta. Whenever I go to New Delhi, still I stop by, to taste my lipsmacking Kala Khatta.

Rasogolla

Pujo Aachee...Ma Durga is coming...what is celebration without the bengali sweets. And what tops the list? undoubtedly Rasogolla. A big round ball, you just put it whole in your mouth and then puncture it and feel the burst of sweetness. The last day of Durga Puja is called "Bijoya Dashami" and that day Ma Durga's Idol is submerged in water and it is believed that she returned to her home. On the way back, we all buy sweets..."Mukh mishti korano"..that is part of our tradition. And every year we buy a big handi of Rasogolla...for ourselves and for all our friends and relatives too.
                Another important point I would like to make here...when I was in New Delhi, I actually came across a big shop with the name of "Bengali Sweets", it claims to specialize in this field. So even if you are not in Bengal still you can taste it.
