Jaipur Food

Aside from Jaipur being a somewhat disappointing city, we did enjoy some really good food. Not just one meal, but Hannah and I enjoyed two damned tasty restaurants. Our first pleasant culinary experience was at a nicer restaurant famous for its dal makhani (butter lentils), which instantly became a favorite dish. Finally, we discovered another butter-loaded, vegetarian alternative to murgh makhani (butter chicken).

The second meal worth noting (and documenting in photos) was consumed at a small, four-table, hole-in-the-wall restaurant with a full view kitchen. The cook top was essentially a large stone slab with pot-sized pits containing hot coals. Here, we had paneer makhani (butter cottage cheese — that's right, bring on the cholesterol), and plain naan (unleavened bread). The naan here was hands down the best we've had in India.
