Taste of India

Some of the choices are questionable, and there are notable omissions but that is inevitable given the format. Not bad overall. Worth debating about.

I am hosting a daal-baati dinner on Saturday and was looking for ideas on cuisine for ppl who cant handle it. Loved the map, though the options are too few for my purpose.

I have mixed feelings about daal-baati-churmaa.

Love the daal; can deal with the baati; don't want a sweet churmaa in a savory meal.

The origins are clearly medieval where sweet and savory are freely mixed but it's not for me. Plus, the over-the-top ghee-laden baati is also not for me.

Just leave the baati as is without the dipped ghee (heresy, I know, I know!) and your guests might be fine.

Plus, Rajasthani cuisine has some pretty fiery stuff. Why not head there, in addition? ;-)

Churmaa actually rarely gets consumed except by old timers at the wedding luncheons. But dunking in ghee is non negotiable. :)
