N Wow!! It used to be a site to watch in Lodhi Garden in the mornings, with the regulars still out with their monkey caps, however thick the fog would be.
Gosh!! Guys we should have a paratha party here, to get over this nostalgia!!

BTW, parathas are easily found at any Indian restaurant in the states, even here in West Virginia. Probably not as good though. Chholia sounds worth looking into…

That’s only the paid videos which aren’t even on the site yet. Regular video.google.com videos play fine in all browsers that can use Flash.

Chholia – aka “green gram”, aka “hara channa”, aka “green lentils”, aka “mung beans”. Often cooked and eaten like peas. Sometimes eaten sprouted.
[Om, note... in transliterated written English I think there's 2 h's in there.]

Chole – spicy chick pea paste fried in clarified butter.

Chholia Halwa – mung bean flour sweet/savory dessert.

PS… Ghee (clarified butter) makes everything taste better!

I found it very inspiring.

I have been pondering about home quite a bit. Certainly miss being in India, when one of the greatest sporting rivalries is going to unfold within a week.

I think a anghiti would be a charcoal stove. But, a paratha is a paratha is a paratha. If you cannot say it, you cannot eat it – IMO :->
