Delhi breakfasts

The hotel had excellent breakfasts: I alternated between idli with a coconut chutney + veggies  and uttapam with chutney and veggies.


Idli are south Indian steamed dumplings: in my experience they can get awfully heavy awfully fast, if not well cooked.  These were light and fluffy and yet satisfyingly filling.

Idli + veg + chutneys

Uttapam were a revelation to me – I don’t think I’ve ever had them before.  They’re a savoury pikelet with curd and spring onions in them.   Again, I think done poorly they would be rubbery and unpleasant but these were light and delicious!

The hotel had decent coffee and little packets of drinking yoghurt, from which I got my “daily boost of immunity” (who needs a multivitamin?!?!) before heading out to brave the world.
