I've always landed up in offices where people love to eat... IETS has been no exception. The gang from the BKC office has transported their urge to eat all things nice to the Saki Naka second office untarnished and if anything enhanced :)
Sharp at 1 I got a call from Ophi summoning me to the second floor for the lunch...
The alluring part for me about this feast was the fact that almost everything was home-made...
The spread on the table started with Farrari Patties. Now this is something that is had during उपवास/upwas, so it came with a bowl of smooth and sweetened whipped dahi...
The term farrari relates to all things that are used during upwas. The potato enclosed and deep fried roundels themselves had a yummy filling of flaky hand grated coconut shavings with an interesting blend of fresh shredded herbs.
The staples like chappatis and rice were bought to save the trouble for everyone...
To go with the rice Rajesh's wife had made a very nice and homely Sindhi Kadi (सिन्धी कढ़ी)
Rupa had brought some Undiu--the quintessential touch of Gujarat. Awesome to eat, nightmarish in terms of logistics to make...
Aishwarya made and got a light and fragrant pulao (पुलाव)
... and to go with it, a light and interesting mixed vegetable curry...
Shobha introduced the flavour of the Southern reaches of India with Idlies and Mulaga Podi (also know as Gun Powder, Sambhar, and some awesome coconut chutney.
I'd contributed a simple Bengali style Methi phorondiyey Phulkopi aar Palngshaker Torkari (মেথী ফোড়ন দিয়ে ফুলকপি আর পালক শাকের তরকারি) (Palak and Cauliflower Curry) ... Most of which was devoured by the time I landed up to click a photo for posterity... So I am guessing it was liked :)
After the spread was done, I moved on to the sweet bit. Ophi had made her hugely popular (and trademark :P) Mangalorean Coconut Cake
Sujyothi and Beni contributed and got some yummy Kesar Jalebis
The to end the desert section, Abhijit and Venkat enleashed tubs of Fruit Salad with Ice-cream from Aditi
Of course good things in combination taste divine... So I dolloped some of the fruit salad with some coconut cake to make things happier still :)
