Darjeeling Tea – Now just do not drink your tea – eat it as well…

From the past few days the temperature was up in the Himalayan foothills and its always pleasant to see rainfall after almost a week long sun… Today morning was just that… What made it better was that it was a SATURDAY…

I woke up almost an hour late than my usual time and was in for breakfast… Well Well.. My wife had a surprise waiting for me…. Some PAKODAS (A FRIED INDIAN SNACK) made from fresh TEA LEAVES.. Yes FRESHLY PLUCKED GREEN LEAVES..

Now that is interesting… The taste was just as pleasant… What a way to start the day.. What i didn’t know was I was in for another surprise.. At 14:30 when I went for my lunch I was served a curry made from GREEN TEA LEAVES & POTATOES.. Well now that was too much to resist… When I asked my wife what made her do this her answer was “You love tea I love cooking – this is the MARRIAGE of both.”   

I don’t think i have had a better weekend in the recent past… Cant wait to see if she has another surprise for DINNER..
