Jackie's World: Hyderabad, India: Local Indian Delicacies

I will share with y'all some Indian delicacies which I was experiencing in a homestay in Hyderabad, India for an approximately of 6 weeks. Some Indian dishes are homecooked by the Indian caretaker or some are eaten at the Indian restaurants (I found that the food restaurants are usually called "hotel", it is not a place to stay but rather a place to eat and I'm not quite sure about the reason) and some could be found at the mall like KFC, McD (Indian food break-free on weekends). :P
To be honest, it was really a great adventure and experience to be staying in India for this long period of time! The populations are really high, packed with lots of poor ppl and average working class ppl. It's like I'm out from a comfort zone, unlike traveling to countries which are developed and more hygienic. Even my daily drinking water was always obtained from the RO source and not from the tap water.

Homecooked meal (by the Indian caretaker from Calcutta): #rice #currychicken #dhal (thick lentil stew) #curd (this seemed to be their staple dish, mixed with rice like eating porridge - If one is not used to it, one won't be able to like it) #papadum (a thin, crisp disc-shaped Indian food typically based on a seasoned dough made from black gram, fried or cooked with dry heat) #cucumber

One of the variety dishes of homecooked meal: #papadum

Somp (sugar coated herbs)...to be eaten after food to help in digestion.
Looks like eating cocoons.

A daily cuppa~~
Everything here is related to herbs. Even the tea also "bermasalah" (problematic). Lol~
It's masala (a type of herbs) tea with foamy milk.. After a cuppa, one will feel more fresh & honest!

Homecooked Indian-style Fried pasta with a twist of Indian style (pepperish & herbs )& a glass of guava juice

One of those sweet Indian delicacies: Jilebi
(It sounded to me as chill ,chill, baby chill)

Indian dessert: Dadu (first bite tasted so-so, however the bites thereafter were felt really too sweet. I think Indians really enjoy eating food that are either too sweet or too spicy)

Blushberry Frapp (Greatly Recommended if one happened to travel to India). The frapp is wayyyy awesome than the frapp in Starbucks and Coffee Bean. With crunchy cereals, chunky cheese cake feeling and strawberry taste, topped with whipped cream.
