Indian sweets

In Mysore we finally give up the idea of losing some weight in India. The food is just too delicious in India. In the morning we start with idly's (steamed rice cakes) or masala dosa (filled pancakes) and fruit lassi (yoghurt drink) or fresh fruit juice. During the day lots of (sweetened) chai and coffee. For lunch and dinner there's too much to choose from of all the tasty veg and non-veg Indian dishes. Fruit and vegetables have so much more flavour here, too. And Mysore is famous for its sweets. It's very difficult to pass by the beautiful sweets-shops without getting at least something. Rich creamy, brightly coloured bites with nuts, dried fruit or exotic spice mixes. And it even tastes better putting the food in your mouth with your fingers (of your right hand only!) as is custom here.
