A treat of pijja and nimbu pani.:P

Last week a chance encounter made me see street side pizza stall near the classes. A person like me never looses an opportunity of something just so vaguely authentic but something filling, authentic and main, real tasty. And so this week we had this finally. Small palm size pizza bases. Adorned with carrot onion and cabbage…my better (?) half was wondering about the taste. The person crisped the pizza with liquid butter and later turned it up side down to cook. Now even I was wondering if it’s the right thing that I decided to taste. After browning a bit of the cabbage he turned it right side up and added grated amul cheese.I took the first bite. It was not ambrosia etc.But truly lovely. The pizza base was fresh non bready and lightly toasted. The cabbage just cooked a bit of bite in it. The cheese sublime cheddar.all that coupled with warmth of the tawa made pizza. I liked it actually. The taste was simple and good. It was definitely stringy mozerella bready pizza, that we get in so called authentic outlets nor poor version of them which we get in udipi restaurants. But definitely something much more humble and good quality wise and definitely tasty.needless to say I took one more parcl to eat it later while watching dance India dance. Little way ahead we had the most cooling and fresh nimbu pani that soothed the very self. Something which many soft drinks fail to do. And this treat together marked a lovely end to a Saturday and Sunday was still far behind
