My wife has been lazy these days. Moreover these days she gets tired and doesn't wish to cook.
She asks me to order food online twice or thrice a week. It's fine for the kids and her but not for me as I don't like outside food.
Recently we went to have dinner outside in a nearby restaurant and ordered "Raj Kachuari" and "Pav Bhaji". These were delicious and very spicy. I guess Indians maybe know it as these are famous dishes in India.
I liked the food but please don't ask how it is made as I won't be able to explain it. Maybe Vanny, @ptrikha_2, and @akp100 knowing it and tell more about them.

These looks good and yummy but too spicy, I won't be able to eat it.

I am drooling over the name of these dishes. We don't get very good ones here in South India. So, I make sure that I eat them whenever I visit Delhi.
But you are right, even I can't eat outside food more often.
Good that you give break to your wife. We all need that.

You must have a Haldiram's outlet in Bengaluru?
You may order online as well?
By the way, how is your day going?

But they could have an outlet in the bigger, cosmopolitan city like Bengaluru.

I guess it was Haldiram's ??
I have eaten both of these bit never as a combo.
During August we had eating out there 2/3 times but cut down in September as we were getting fever/cold repetitively.
We can explain Pav as a special bread and Bhaji as a Mixed vegetable in Gravy with a lot of spices and some butter plus coriander leaves to garnish.
Raj Kachauri or Kachori is flavored curd with lots of Pomegranate pieces, chutneys and some spices.
For making, I would also have to think and write a detailed note!
Thanks for sharing!
Nice Thursday ahead

That is also good. Yet Haldiram's scores in some of the dishes although at a slightly higher price.
Haldiram's North Indian platter is 300 INR plus but worth trying out.

Eating out is costlier anyways.
One does gets some discounts and promotional offers on Swiggy but that is situational and random.
Yet if you are in an experimental mood, try Tandoori Tales as well as Boxmeal on Swiggy.

I get tired of cooking so Pretty and I buy stuff that can just be microwaved from frozen. We don't buy a lot of those types of foods because they can be expensive but they give me a break from cooking.

@MrDenata Actually, taquitos, pizza bites and pork wontons this time. They are all delicious and only need microwaved for a few minutes before you can eat them. YUM! (Pretty bought burritos this time.)

I never try that, Sanjeev, if your wife didnt have time to cook, you should make it by yourself or ask @DaddyEvil for some recipe

@sjvg1976 I could ask Pretty to explain how to make vegetarian food you could do yourself.
Once in a while she will send a pm to someone on myLot who asks for recipes from me.

They look delicious, but I think the spice would do me in.

I'm interested in learning the foods from other country. We like dining and restaurants once a month we get bored with home cook meals
