50 dishes worth traveling for (Part 1)

Thailand murders

Thailand is "safe"

the murder suspects are burmese migrants... thailand is incredible safe by british and Indian standards...
you can walk around unmolested at night..
the usual precautions of not carrying too much cash and not being a dick to local applies there.

Thailand is in the middle of a revolution, army has taken over, political fight going on.. but tourists are walking around at night (even with night curfew in some areas)... that should give you an indication how safe it is.

Having said that, thais hate Indians.. for very good reason.. Indians are considered pushy.. loudmouth... unclean savages... (by Indians .. I means all south asians)

Russia: Kasha - Similar in consistency to oatmeal, this Russian buckwheat porridge has been around for almost 1,000 years. It tends to be paired with savory dishes like salads or with meat and vegetables. You can find it at one of Moscow’s milk bars, like the chain Moo Moo.

Russia: Shchi - This Russian soup can sometimes be a bit sour due to the cabbage and sauerkraut that it’s made with. Whether you use cabbage or sauerkraut indicates if it is green shchi or sour shchi, respectively. Though the dish dates back to the ninth century, visit Chekhov in St. Petersburg for this classic dish in a modern setting.

Russia: Pelmeni - These dumplings can be eaten as a snack or a light meal, and are sold everywhere from street stands to high-end restaurants. Though it is unclear exactly when these dumplings entered Russian cuisine, it is posited that they were brought to Russia by the Mongols. Moscow’s Café Pushkin serves these small bites in their nicer dining room and the casual dining area.

Romania: Mămăligă - Mamaliga is a cornmeal porridge similar to polenta, which often contains sheep’s cheese and bacon. The original recipe was intended as a cheaper alternative to bread made from wheat flour. This traditional Romanian dish is making a comeback, especially at Caru' cu Bere in Bucharest.

Portugal: Pastel de Nata - One of the most popular sweet dishes among Portuguese citizens, pastel de nata is eggy, creamy, and rich. It is believed that Catholic monks at the Jerónimos Monastery created them in the 18th century. They are made up of just egg, flour, butter, vanilla, and milk, and are small enough to eat in one bite. For some of the best around, visit Pastéis de Belém in Lisbon.

UK: Chicken Tikka Masala - While it might seem like it's a long way from its Indian roots, chicken tikka masala is everywhere in the United Kingdom, and in fact, is a British creation. The fact that chicken tikka masala has even been called "Britain’s national dish," is indicative of the enormous effect the Indian population in the U.K. has had on the region’s cuisine. Many citizens of the U.K. have given up their fish and chips in favor of this spiced, tomato-based curry, served over rice and with sides like naan bread and raita. Try it at London’s Babur Brasserie.

Wow! I want to try this Rabri dish. It looks delicious !

It is essentially a highly condensed milk cooked over slow flame on a heavy bottom vessel. After condensed milk solids are formed, it is flavored with Cardamom or sometimes in fancy versions with Saffron. Heavenly delight!

Indian Breads
Unlike in west, we in India attach a great importance to the bread served with the meal. It is the centerpiece of any meal and considering great diversity of culture and agricultural produce, each region has an own specialty.here we go:


Kerala Parotha

Daal Baati (from Rajasthan, laden with Ghee, not for weak hearts literally )

Thepla (Gujarat's Favorite bread)

Luchi (Fried bread from Bengal, goes well with almost everything)

Puttu (Steamed savory rice drums) (Kerala)

Puran Poli (Stuffed sweet bread from Maharashtra)

Naan
(A class of Tandoor baked breads. These in all likelihood originated in Central Asia and traveled to Indian sub-continent, where these were perfected over time by local cooks. a number of variations are available including stuffed ones. Any Indian restaurant prides in quality of Naan it serves).

Kulcha
A variation of Naan bread available as a street food in North India (especially Punjab). This is served with Choley (A spicy Chickpea gravy). Utterly addictive!

Maakey di Roti
Punjab's greatest gift to culinary world! Enough said
