It was our last in India's commercial capital. It was Sunday.
Our host works long hours six days a week but still spent his single free day with us. Our dayout started with a late breakfast and roamed around the whole day through this fascinating island city.
Lunch
Bajri Roti, Bharli Vangi and Phulgobi Rassa
Masala Bhat -- this I'm going to learn, too.
Thalipeeth of Millet with Curd -- I was very curious about this dish because M_ has already invited me to her place sometime later to taste thalipeeth made by herself. She told me thatshe got bhajNi through online shopping to prepare Thalipeeth at home.

In the internet, while searching for its recipe, I found Sabudana Thalipeeth, too, which I'm going tp prepare very soon.
Mumba Devi Temple
Photography is prohibited in Mumba Devi Temple premises. Outside at the entrance we were given boxes of sweets flower and a piece of new cloth (I don't know the exact term for this cloth because I am not very familiar with Pujas). The sweets were like sugar bombs! Just like me, our host also doesn't have sweet teeth and cried out for water as he put one into his mouth. After we did Puja with them, the sweets are Prasad of God. And Prasad is something not to refuse. |

During this stay in Mumbai, I regularly sent all the photos of these food to M_. "Stop torturing me", she said! So, immediately after my return, I asked her if she is going to talk to me again in her life because of those tortures!
After visiting Mumbai I realised why M_ said that she took time to understand the concept of "bikal, late afternoon in kolkata.Unlike Kolkata evenings are sunny and much longer here. It reminded me of European summer evenings. Snacking on a beach basking in the mellowing evening sun in a metro city? Remarkable indeed! And beautiful!
