For lunch I will make besan ki roti( spicy chapatis made with gram or chick pea flour)
to be accompanied with a hot chutney
comprising of garlic and red chili.
The rotis are spread with home made butter called ghee.
Mother does not care for these so i will
bottle gourd with potatoes for her.
These greens are called chaw-la-yee. I don 't know the English name.
They are growing in my garden.
I made them with onion and cumin.
Plants fresh after the rain
We had a little rain this morning
Grateful for this much
The food prices are up 25%.
Yesterday I got onions and potatoes at a discount.

mmmmmm, I would like to try some of that! It looks good! :)
Dear Amrita,
I enjoy wandering in your garden.
You have such a variety of delicious herbs and vegetables.
We also have rain today, and yesterday too.
In fact, it has been pouring.
Serina danced her rain dance on the terrace and now we are flowing over.
I read in our local newspaper that a man by the last name Singh had opened a restaurant in our little town.
I'll have to try it soon.
Have a blessed week end.

Besan ki roti is what Big B makes for Amjad Khan in yaarana :) We Gujjus make a similar thing called Thepla without onions or garlic. You'll find it in every Gujjus's baggage even when they go to a foreign country.
"Besan Coyote" may be an apt transliteration for this dish! Whew! It sounds very tasty but just hearing about the spice makes me wanna have a huge glass o' water!
I don't recognize those greens, Amrita, but they sure look interesting. I do recognize the lovely, papery blooms of crepe myrtle, though!
Lovely greens Amrita. Looks like everything is blooming beautifully in India.
We are very green here too. We have had a very rainy spring and summer here in New England. Honestly, we are tired of the rain. Last night we took the kids to the lake and as we got situated with our chairs, kids headed to the water, it began to sprinkle again...sigh.

Hello friends.
Wow Felisol, Serina' s rain dance must have set you all in a good mood.
Yes Paresh besan ki roti is yummy with desi ghee. I have heard about the thepis, but never tried it.Doe you mum make khadi chawal?
Oh dead Carol-Ann, I know all the spices and chillies are very hot. There was a time I could not eat chillis too, but you know what - an ENT surgery cured me of my predicament and now I can have them. Strange.
Hi Penni, I really appreciate your botanical knowledge. Now i know what the flowers are called.
Dear Kostas, how are your bees doing?
Get well soon. Sorry to hear about your hand.
Hi Amrita,
That is so fresh, especially after the rain! Food prices are rising over here too. I am sure I do not understand what true 'price rises' are though. We are a plentiful nation in Australia. Lord let us be grateful for such as we have!
Hope you are well, take care,
Danielle
