Breakfasts with the Kumars,
Our hosts Lata & Raghu
have been creating Indian culinary delights for breakfast every day. Yesterday we had a cookery lesson on Dosa
& Sambal. We stand in the kitchen
and photograph what they are making.
Himself has his bulging recipe notebook at the ready. The sambal may sound strange to have for
breakfast as it is a type of curried vegetable soup which tasted fantastic and
served with a dosa which is like a thin crisp pancake. For the foodies following the blog himself
has asked me to list the ingredients:
Lentils, onions, selection of rough diced veg, radish, tamarind juice, sambal powder, jaggery (unrefined sugar
lumps) curry leaves, finished with chopped fresh coriander.

Today we had Upma. This is finely chopped onions sauted with
grated ginger, tomatoes, mustard seeds, vegetables and mushrooms, ground
lentils, all cooked then added with 2 cups of water then 2 cups of ground
semolina and finished with fresh coriander.
This was really yummy.
I had to
do three lengths of the beach to walk if off, himself was a specatator! He’s
had a problem with his toes having tripped over a shell and stubbing said toes
on a sunbed!
There has been trouble on
the beach with coconuts, one having bounced off a Russians head- cant think of
a nicer person for it to land on! There
has been feverish activity in the coconut palm department with various boys
scurrying up trees with machetes at the ready!
