Konkan Cafe

rice crackers w/roasted, stuffed chilies and tomato-coconut and green chutney, at the Konkan Cafe inside the Taj President Hotel, for an early lunch with Ritesh
fresh squeezed watermelon juice
the Konkan thali - the Konkan being part of the West Coast of India, this is mostly seafood: a stunningly flavorful fish curry on the left, then clockwise some supremely tender fish sticks, shrimp w/ green mango, two kinds of south Indian soups: sambar and rassam, and some lemon rice. Fantastic.
fermented rice pancakes to eat with the curry
fresh kulfi (Indian ice cream, made with ghee), served on a banana leaf
fresh squeezed sugar cane juice, w/ lime and ginger
and some beetelnut paan
