Falando da parte da comida, tudo por aqui tem pimenta, ou melhor MASALA, tanto que a minha lingua, nao consegue reconhecer a maioria dos gostos, e tambem acho que nunca sentiu tantos gostos em tantas parte diferentes da mesma lingua:
From the food part: all kinds of spicy or how they call it here: MASALA! They are so many, that my tongue is really confused, tasting flavors never tasted before:
Comida de Rua, na "Old City" (nao recomendado se vc nao e cidadao local) Street Food at "Old City" (not so recommended you are not local)
Comida indiana diaria: arroz, curry, pao (fininho), yogurte para "quebra" a pimenta, tudo isso pode ser comido com a mao, usando o pao como aparador.
India regular food: rice based, curry souced, and slim bread, also yogurt to "break" the spicy, all of these can be eaten with bare hands, using the bread.
Dosa, um tipo de crepe salgado, que comemos com molhos indianos apimentados: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosa
