Culinary Delights

India has a lot to offer for those who are daring enough to try out different cuisines.
The mere view of the menu card can be also be a highly entertaining experience when it comes to dining in mediocre eat-outs in the popular/not so popular tourist destinations throughout India.
I have been greatly amused by stories of friends who were served Kaliflober manchurian , Borotta and the likes while on their honeymoon to Munnar, Shillong, Konkan coast etc.
Nowadays we have these culinary delights available right at our doorstep on sign boards outside the office canteen.

Gingeli oil features as an item on the menu.( Wonder why !!!) I am waiting for the day when they list out each and every raw material on the menu..i.e. instead of tea, it can be milk, water, tea powder and sugar.
Whoever wants a cuppa can order one each of the above four, and request all of it to be served in a single cup. Thus they can showcase a larger menu card, and maybe charge us more.

The other day ,a trip to the canteen for lunch had all of us ROTFL..listed on the menu was an item erstwhile unheard of-Veg Gupta- We've never figured out what this was really meant to be.The best guess (by Asad) was Veg Kofta , although what was served had little resemblance to kofta. To satisfy my curiosity, I tried googling for the same, and had Google look back at me with the eye of a headmaster admonishing a naughty child..with a stern..'did you mean mrs gupta..or Veg recipies by Mrs. Gupta).
Offcourse there are the other regulars namely aloo mattar and panner mattar.

While googling for other interesting delicacies ,came across the below from various restaurants offering tastly( tasty enhanced a lil bit) and homely food :

Stuffed nun among the breads offered ( Wonder what Vatican has to say about that)
Children soup.. (Kids and parents beware)
Fresh Lame Juice and Fresh Lame soda ( for the lame and lazy)
Egg role/Chicken role ( Yet to find out the role they were playing)
Moton Biriyani (replace the t with an r and we can have a more interesting varitey of Biriyani -for which we have enough and more ingredients available in the office premises)
Pomprat fry (Pomprat is the cousin of the more familiar pomfret)
Chainese/Chinise food ( The Chinese are credited with discovering Chai..hence the name)
Thy food (Lord here comes thy food)
Sand witch (Yuck..eating a witch ..that too one made out of sand)
Vaangi bath( this one had me ROTFL..in malayalam vaangi means to get or to buy. So the literary transalation would mean to buy a bath..while the intended meaning is vangi(eggplant) bhath(rice))
Strabery ( is a rare kind of berry used only in hotels of Chennai , Bangalore etc..very good for making icecream though)
Plane parathas (you can have your choice of plane..Boeing 747, MIG fighter)
Plan tea ( So much planning needed for having tea???)
Fried Rise (a breakfast dish to be had at Sun rise)

** P.S. the idea for this post originated while having 'Burma Bhagan' for lunch from the office canteen.
Eagerly looking forward to have more interesting dishes.. Veg-kumars, veg-Varugheses n all.
