Paper Dosa at Sagar Ratna

I love South Indian food, especially the paper thin dosa. It comes with hot and spicy sambar soup.

Although my throat was hurting badly from dry coughing, and I had completely lost my voice; I couldn’t resist from joining my family for a yummy lunch at Sagar Ratna (The Ashok Hotel).

Their dosas were out of this world. You must give it a try whenever you visit an Indian restaurant. Beware, the sambar soup can be quite spicy. 🙂

My home for the next 10 days

I am staying at Arjun’s (Karan’s brother) in New Delhi. His apartment is newly renovated with marble everywhere. The best part about his apartment is its location: right below his parents’. Sweet, huh!

I had butter paneer, butter chicken, mutton curry and chicken soup at home. The food was excellent! I didn’t even have to lift a finger. The maids prepared the food and set the table for me. After the meal, I didn’t have to bus my dishes too! It was a little uncomfortable at first because I am so used to doing everything myself, but I adapted to this new lifestyle in no time! Karan said I don’t have to feel bad, because I am actually providing job security to the maids.
