Famous foods of India (4).

As I make this incredible journey, I feel very thrilled because being in the armed forces, I've had a taste of quite a few of the famous foods thanks to having the privilege of breaking bread with my friends, whose wives had provided me the privilege of tasting many of these exquisite dishes during my numerous visits to their homes. Thanks all of you.....
