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.

Omlette

Being a non-veg we just love eating eggs ...we make poch with the sunny side up or just boiled eggs for breakfast..egg rolls for snack...and  my husband prefers "anda bhurji" with his glass of drink...but my son's all time favourite is Omlette. My grandfather used to make the perfect folds to the omlette...my father loved it a bit wet and juicy inside within the folds and this one is made by my husband ...pan pizza style.  

Sugarcane Juice

This is a Sugarcane Juicer. Unlike the metal Juicer this is purely made out of wood. Now the question might be arised, "How these two are different?". For that you will have to taste the juice yourself. What I felt was, the juice that we get out of the machine grind, that does have sediments, very tiny particles which irritates the throat but this is just perfect. I've taken this pic at Naranpura, (Gujrat), but on talking to this fellow, he said he brought this thella from Shani Shingnapur, (Maharashtra). It is really interesting to see how far a person travels to make two penny. He has taken this on lease from someone. He charges 20 rupees for one glass. And even after such hardwork, he seemed contended and happy. He smiled for the camera and spoke to us so nicely.
