Got a few bunches of Amaranth from the sapo woman coming daily, 14 rupees for 5 bunches. Both H and I are crazy for Amaranth. It is the best and tastiest weed on earth! There are many kinds of Amaranth in Mysore, and this kind, a mix of green and red, smaller leaves, is my favorite. I liked it so much that I self photoed it with me... haha. Its roots are so pretty.
Living in Mysore really brings me back to my belief in eating: eat traditionally, seasonally and most importantly, locally. I cut, I cook, I homemade curd, and I chew, no machining. I no longer bring rice with me, I eat the local brown rice. And fruits from either Mysore, or other area of India are so wonderful, and I don't need any more variety. And vegetables are simply a delight here. The cauliflowers are the tastiest, and so are carrots and broccoli from Ooty. And don't even mention all kinds of sprouts here, so cheap and fresh. With all these Mysore goodies, how can one not want to cook?
I am happy cook at home in Mysore....
