The taste of Rajasthan

Rajasthan is mostly famous for vegetarian cuisine with a wide variety of dishes. Most popular ones being the Plain Ghevar, malai Ghevar and Jalebi in desserts; Kadhi, Ker-saangri and Gatte ki Sabzi in Curries; Bikaneri Bhujia, Mirchi Vada, Pyaaj Kachori & Mawa Kachori in Snacks and Dal Bhati Churma in Main course. While you're in Rajasthan do not miss out to try some of these.

We had a great experience trying out the local flavors in some of the best restaurants highlighted below:

Jodhpur: While in Jodhpur one cannot miss the rooftop candlelit dinner with amazing view of Mehrangarh fort lit in the backdrop and delicious food on your plate, it's an experience of a lifetime. One such is the Curry’s rooftop restaurant where we tried ker sangri.

For the local snacks in Jodhpur head out straight to the famous Janta sweet home at nai sarak road. Try out their kachori and mirchi vada.

Jaisalmer: the city is famous for romantic getaways so is its restaurants. While we enjoyed the fort view from the root top restaurant in Jodhpur, here in Jaisalmer it was vice-versa, yup we were at the rooftop restaurant inside the Jaisalmer fort with an amazing night view of the city below. Hotel Victoria offers some of the best views of the city with a romantic ambiance and mouth-watering food.

While in Jaisalmer one can also enjoy the rooftop experience with the amazing view of Jaisalmer fort & Mandir Palace from the Golden roof restaurant. If you want a closer view of Jaisalmer fort then its Jaisal Italy rooftop restaurant near to the fort gate.

Bikaner: In Bikaner one should try the local street foods on station road, Chhotu Motu Joshi Sweet Shop, Bhikharam Chandmal Bhujiawala among the popular ones. What we liked the most is the Malai Ghevar, apart from this there are Kachoris, Bhujia, Jalebi and generous lassi with a layer cream on top.

Jaipur: apart from forts, palaces and shopping, Jaipur is also famous for its wonderful restaurants and mouth-watering dishes. For the local foods try out Dal Bhati Churma, Sweet Kachori in Rawat Mishthan Bhandar. For a typical Rajasthan ambiance with good food and live music head to Peacock Rooftop restaurant.

Micromax Canvas 2 A110 Hands on Review

Micromax Superfone Canvas 2 A110(Jet Black/Calm White): After using it for a week, I felt pretty good about my decision for going with a new brand like Micromax over the mighty Samsung Galaxy S Duos and Sony Tipo Dual. Particularly not sure about its reliability but the build quality looks pretty decent. Below are my ratings for the phone aka Phablet. Build Quality (8/10): The build quality was above my expectations keeping in mind of the price tag, from front it looks just like a Galaxy high end smartphone like SIII or Note II. It has a matte finished back cover which is good for protection towards scratches and there is a metal casing all around the phone, which adds up the beauty of the phone. One more advantage of this phone is it has a touch home button instead of a hard button as seen in iPhone and Galaxy phones. Camera (5/10): [8MP autofocus (Tap to Focus), dual flash, supports up to 3264x2448 pixels, Panorama] Don't fall for the specs as it is said...

Bird watching tour to Davanagere - Part I

Birding in Davanagere - Part I Water Birds: With not much expectations headed for bird watching in Davangere, but what turned out later was an extravaganza of our beloved winged friends. A colony of Black-winged Stilt There is a reason why I had less expectations, we usually hear from bird watchers in and around Bengaluru and have rarely heard of a city such as Davanagere for bird spotting. Winter is the best time for bird watching in Davanagere as the winged guests from far across the Himalayas visit here in search of food and tropical climate. Was expecting to spot the migratory bar headed goose and waders along with the resident Kingfishers, Munias, Weaver bird, and Coucal. Though couldn't witness some of them but ended up spotting over 50 species of birds. A little knowledge about these birds and a lots of patience can help spot many of these with a binocular or a camera with 250 mm lens. Compared to birds in Bengaluru, here the birds were very shy and not used to ...
