Food for thought



When you think of Indian food you automatically think of curry.  Well, we haven’t seen a single one on any menus.  Anyone who knows himself, knows how passionate he is about food, and he’s been keeping a note of different recipes he’s managed to extract from people.  I’m sure that most of these will be easily accessible on the net.  For those foodies amongst you these are some of our favourites :-

Calamari Chilli fry (incredibly spicy but fantastic) – Joes at Feedmore Café

Dahl Makhani – (Rogers beachside)

Paneer Manchurian

Goan Chicken Xucuti (Mammas)

Yellow Fried Dhal

Afghan Chicken (superb from Joes)

Chicken Mughali  & Paneer Makhani  (Mahals beachside)

Tandoori & Chicken Tikka (Joes) the best we have ever had!

Vegi & Chicken Biryani (Mahans)

The mose sumptuous Cheese & Garlic Naan - everywhere

And many more



We have been spying on the Russians, there are a lot out here,  and note they only ever eat fish.  They also never barter for anything, big mistake.  They asked the price of the crabs at Mammas Beachshack and the waiter said he would get one for them to look at.  He promptly jumped on his Lambretta and sped along the beach, returning with a fresh one still moving.  He asked 2500 rupees for it (£25) and they had it! They pay through the nose for a lot of the stuff, we know the crab is generally about £7.50 for a biggy for four people.

I have been vegetarian for the most of the time, for no other reason than the food is so tasty, but got the aroma of cooking bacon from some neighbours nearby.  I also found out that the egg man also delivers fresh bread rolls (indian barms).  So I was up very early dashed down to meet the eggman and for 12 rupees (12p) I got four still warm barms.  Yummy bacon barms, himself asked what no brown sauce? But hey, you cant have everything. 

The Eggman





We think we are about to become dhal addicts, a lentil dish with chilli and spices, we cant do a meal without some – but the windpower has been epic, much to our amusement and  prompting complaints from 2 floors below!

I went shopping alone today, just odds and sods really and we usually walk across some waste land which cuts the corner into the village, but I had to make a hasty retreat after two pigs chased me.

Newsflash – We’ve seen a cloud, but just the one!
