You were sitting in the land that created ...Nancy,<br /><br />You were sitting in the land that created molasses & brown sugar! It is called CANE JAGGERY!! Infintely better than the bottled Grandma X molasses or the packaged brown sugar which is merely white sugar with molasses added back in!!<br /><br />I wish someone had introduced you to the exquisite golden syrups and the solid sugars of the Sugar Date Palm: so much more flavorful than Maple Syrup or Maple sugar.<br /><br />I am shocked that you "ran" out of butter! I cannot imagine that you were introduced to what Indians eat, namely the fresh churned butter abundantly available in Blore, if you know how to communicate with Indians!!<br /><br />Next, there is the very famous NILGIRI DAIRY, whose butter & ghee are ALWAYS available, if you know to ask!<br /><br />Then, AMUL, and several other MILK COOPERATIVE BUTTERS will ALWAYS be available, ALWAYS!<br /><br />I feel a bit worried that you might have excessively constrained yourself in the "expatriate" circuit and had foregone much of the INDIAN experience you sought. <br /><br />E.g. none of your restaurant recommendations illustrate your familiarity with some of the landmark Indian icons: Mavalli Tiffin Room, Vidyarthi Bhavan, Brahmin Cafe, Gopika, and so many others. This is NOT a criticisn. It is just that the chosen orbit disallowed you from experiencing a true Indian experience, versus a highly sanitized one!!<br /><br />Great blog!gautamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188124842361333060noreply@blogger.com
