Breakfast Words of Wisdom

And is it possible we haven't posted any food photos? Let's start with breakfast. This is one of the most common breakfasts in India; Idli (fermented and steamed rice lentil flying saucers), Vada (a savory fried donut) Coconut chutney and sambar (spicy soup). It's not for everyone but we dig it.
There I am at 7:30am, sitting in a cloud having morning chai and idli. What you can't see in the photo is the crowd of gangly teenage boys sharing our table . . . or the phrase printed on our Lipton chai cup: "When your outgo exceeds your income, then your upkeep is your downfall". Ah, India.
