We went to a picnic at a Nabul Krisna’s house. He is a joint curator at the museum at BHU, and is somehow affiliated with NIRMAN as a guru. Anyway, we went to his house, and made food.
First, a little bit on his house. We did eat outside, but it was quite evident that his house used to be a palace, and, in fact, is quite beautiful. However, in the back, it was quite a jungle and there was an incredible amount of greenery. It was here where we made the food.
Julia’s new least favorite food: baati. Here’s how to make it: First you chop up insane amounts of garlic and onion to put into the powdery mix that includes other things. Next, you make dough. Third, you make balls of dough and stuff the powdery mix of stuff into the middle of the dough, being careful not to let the powder escape. Fourth, you make a large fire and wait until it dies down to just being coals. Fifth, you put the balls onto the fire and then rake around the coals until they look like a charred mess. Then, you find all of them, and take them back over to a towel-sized piece of cotton (sort of like a pillowcase), in which you shake them until most of the charred bits no longer exist. Then, you eat them. Unfortunately, they are sort of spicy and not that delicious, especially considering how long it takes to make them.
Descriptions of more Indian food is on the way, I swear.
