South India is the one place where you get some of the tastiest
and healthiest street food. Yes, healthy! Our trip to Madurai was truly
enlightening and beautiful. After our trip to Jallikattu, where we experienced
Pongal celebrations with the locals and got to taste some amazing food, we made
our way to the city.
Beginning our journey in the Spice Bazaar along with our lovely
host Praveena, we visited S V Sweets. Here, we tried a sweet dish called
Adhivarasam which is made from a rice flour and jaggery, shaped like a doughnut
and deep fried like one too. As very well put by our host, “it is shaped like
doughnut, tastes even better.” This is an authentic Tamilian dessert and is
sold only for Rs. 6. So if you’re in the mood for some desi style doughnuts, this
is your best bet!
Our next stop was Gopu Iyengars Tiffin Centre. This place is a
century old and is known best for its Vellai Appam. Located right next to the
Meenakshi Temple, this 100 year gem serves its meal traditionally on Banana
leaves, that are easily disposable as well as hygienic. The vellai appam is
made with rice flour and urad dal and served with coconut chutney, sambhar and
a super hot green chilli chutney. The food in Madurai in general is quite hot
and pungent, and according to the locals the philosophy behind so much chilli
in such hot weather is that ‘you have to eat the heat to beat the beat.’
When in South India, you just cannot ignore a good cup of filter
coffee. We went to Visalam Coffee Bar for some delicious and strong filter
coffee. This is the kind of coffee that will wake you up from any kind of
stupor.
We next walked to a shop called Burma Idiyappam Shop, serving
idiyappam from the same spot for 42 years. Idiyappam is made from rice flour
that is pressed into noodle form and is topped with coconut shavings and sugar.
The dish is super light and healthy, since there is zero oil in it and it is
steamed. Later in the day we tried Keppai Puttu, which is basically ragi that
is shaped like a cylindrical cake and steamed, then it is topped off with
coconut shavings and jaggery. We also tried Keerai and Keppai Vadai. The Keerai
Vadai is made with a special kind of herb known Mullumurungai, which is mixed
with rice flour and the deep fried. The Keepai Vadai is made with ragi or
finger millet, shallots, green chillies and curry leaves, and the deep fried as
well. Despite being deep fried in oil the vadai is super light and is not heavy
on the palate at all.
We visited the Meenakshi Bhavan for their Special Rawa Dosai that
is made with sooji or semolina, carrots, cashews, pepper, chilli, jeera and a
bit of desi ghee. The dosai is super crispy and has a beautiful nutty texture
to it. What is even better is that it is served with quite a few chutneys so
one can take pick and choose between them. Finally we went to Sree Sabreesh for
the Adai Avial. This two part dish is truly mouthwatering. The adai is a very
healthy lentil dosai which is served with avial- a vegetable dish stewed with a
variety of spices and coconut milk. For dessert we tried the Paal Pandiyaram,
which is rice balls in sweet coconut milk.
Our journey came to an end with a super healthy, nutrient rich
banana. Eating a banana after a heavy meal is a tradition here, so we obliged.
Our special thanks to Praveena from Foodies Day Out, it was an absolute
pleasure to be in the company of someone who loves and appreciates food as much
as we do.
Grateful thanks to “Delhi Food Walks” and YouTube.

Kashi, “the City of Light” is said to
be more than 15,000 years old – the oldest inhabited city in the world. Home to
33 million gods and goddesses, this magnificent city was the beloved abode of
Adiyogi Shiva and his wife Parvati, soon after their marriage. The Adiyogi
himself established a powerful mandala (a sacred circular geometric pattern) of
the city, by consecrating 108 shrines with unique qualities in a certain
pattern – which continues to live even today.
In a series of talks, and a walk
around the ancient city with Prasoon Joshi – noted lyricist and scriptwriter –
Sadhguru elaborates on the science and geometry behind the layout of the city,
the rich mythology of the land, and how despite invasions, Kashi has retained
its glory and power, drawing millions of people from all over the world every
year.
Pranams to Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev and

10 Most Beautiful Countries in Asia.
Asia is the world's largest continent
covering approximately 30% of the planet's land area. The continent is full of
many geographic blessings. No other continent in the world boasts greater
extremes than Asia. It is also home to a tapestry of cultures and histories
that make for a unique travel portal. There are so many beautiful countries in
Asia that it is really a hard task to choose the most beautiful countries in
the continent. However, I have tried my best to make the list of 10 most
beautiful countries in Asia.
1. China
2. Thailand
3. Philippines
4. Maldives
5. Indonesia
6. India
7. Japan
8. Nepal
9. Malaysia
10. Vietnam

Koraput Rayagada Journey through
Tunnels & Viaducts

Monsoon Journey through Hills &
Forests of Odisha
Monsoon, I'm sure everyone will agree,
is the best season to admire Mother Nature. Combine that to a train travel with
a chugging ALCo, its sound echoing off hills, viaducts and tunnels in plenty
and a some breathtaking landscapes; Koraput Rayagada section offers just that
!!
I was fortunate enough to visit the
section as a part of a mega-quadrilateral trip with my dear friend and senior
Anindya Roy. This video was shot exactly an year earlier on board the 18006
Samaleshwari Express which was led by a Bondamunda WDM-3D that day.
The stretch from Koraput to Rayagada,
163 kms, can roughly be classified into 2 distinct parts. The initial stretch
from Koraput to Tikiri, where the train glides through the lap of the Laxmipur
Pattangi Range, past the elephant infested zones of Baiguda (the highest point
of the stretch) and some beautiful green landscapes.
Post Tikiri, the descend to the plains
begin. This is where the real fun lies. We encounter tunnels (36 of them) and
viaducts at regular intervals (often back to back in short intervals). The
Rayagada Kashipur Range, another part of the Eastern Ghats give us company.
The entire ghat section ends at
Rayagada, or more precisely at Singapuram Road. Relish the concise compilation
as I give you a glimpse of the above through my camera. However, this is just
1% of the real; please do visit this section to get a feel of what it really is
like. I bet you wont be disappointed.
Grateful thanks to Mr. Pramit Mitra
