We believe cuisine is not only about the taste, the experience is incomplete without the perfect ambience & the typical manner in which the food is served. Indian food is mostly quite spicy by western standards.
After breakfast do the city Golden temple, Jallianwala Bagh etc. Have lunch & and early in the evening leave for Rangla Punjab Haveli where you have authentic Punjabi vegetarian food in an ethnic resort, watch cultural performances and get an idea of true Punjabi village life and culture. En route you see the fields of mustard, potatoes, sugarcanes etc. After dinner you catch an overnight train to Delhi from Jalandhar station.
For lunch try dal baati (puffed dough dumplings with lentil curry). Churma (powdered sweetened cereal) is a sweet accompaniment with this. Hot Aloo pyaz ki kachori (deep fried bread stuffed with onion & potatoes) is the most loved evening snack here. For dinner we propose you a visit to Choki Dhani, an ethnic resort that showcases typical Rajasthani culture – food, dance, music, camel ride, puppet shows & much more. Men in big red turbans will serve you sumptuous meal (ker sangria, gatte ki sabzi, bejad ki roti, bajre ki khichidi, lasan ki chutney …..) on leaf platters. Mind you, there are no tables and chairs & no forks and spoons either, but it will definitely be a down to earth experience. Top it all with a palate cleanser and breathe freshener beetle leaf wrapped around areca nut, fennel seeds, sugar etc.
Today you go for a spice plantation tour to see the spices that flavor your food under cultivation. Next visit the spice market of Thekkady. Drive to Kochi (lunch en route) where you will be dropped at the airport for your onward journey.
All is well if belly is well. We hope that you enjoyed the taste of India, our tips helped you to keep your stomach in order and you return home enriched with the knowledge of Indian food.
