Name that meal

Here's a new competition because I'm bored at work (and I have no idea to the answer of "Where was this photo taken?" and I'm too polite to jump in with another photo while dreamsyndicate has one going)... what's this called?

jjacquemain · Jan 16th, 2004, 11:15

Ok...I have no idea what this meal is called...I haven't eaten in over 12 hour so my guess is "yummy" ....I'm drooling just looking at the (I'm guessing) warm naan and bowl of wonderful goodness.....Can I get that delivered here?? I tip really well

maree · Jan 16th, 2004, 11:22

Julie... eating is important. Log off and go open your fridge now. Yes, it was delicious... and cost me about 5 rupees!

jjacquemain · Jan 16th, 2004, 11:37

Ok...Ok...You are so right! Must eat before sleeping or I'll dream of naan all night... I'm outta here and scarfing some captain crunch (peanut butter) and off to dream land! Food...Good.

mutter sumthin, I'll guess mutter alu, Bengali style

maree · Jan 16th, 2004, 12:32

Isn't mutter green peas? I know it wasn't peas.

maree, I think you should have excluded NRI's and PIO's here, they have an unfair advantage. Unless you have a photo of a 4n20 or a teddy bear smeared with vegemite.

maree · Jan 16th, 2004, 12:41

Colin...just between you and me... I'm actually hoping someone in India will start to offer some answers because, if the truth be known, I don't have a clue what the answer is!!

I just thought it looked delish so had some for breakfast one morning.

Perhaps I can change the question for people like yourself.... where in India did I eat this breakfast?? I know the answer to that one...

Naan with Chhole(White chick-peas, also called Kabuli chana) ?

Very popular in North India.

maree · Jan 16th, 2004, 13:19

That sounds about right, Shimla.... I was going to call it chana masala if really pressed for an answer. So where did I eat it then?

SHIMLA · Jan 16th, 2004, 13:41

Chana is gram (black/yellow), as opposed to Chhole, which is chick-pea. There is a difference.

Now, where did you eat it ????

My guess is either Amritsar or Pathankot !!

maree · Jan 16th, 2004, 14:04

No, not there. Guess again.

bijapuri · Jan 16th, 2004, 15:06

bengali script on the newspaper, methinks

maree · Jan 16th, 2004, 15:38

You are correct

Good idea for a thread maree but I'm afraid I'm going to run out of pics very soon. Perhaps some of the Indian members can get their digicams out and set us a few puzzles.

I'm not going to ask people to name every item in this meal - the question is where did we have it?
