India theme continues! This is what we ate at the second cooking class, North Indian thali. We made Nan-bread, dhal fry, palak paneer, jeera rice and the sweet dessert vermicelli kheer. Palak paneer is the green sauce in the picture, palak means spinach and paneer is indian cheese. It can be easily replaced with tofu or potatoes. I'll try to add some dishes with recipes we made in the cooking classes, when I get to cook and photo them. Here some views we saw in India.
What would India be without the cows? The promised land for elephants and cows.
Some citysight from Mysore, Gokulam.
Views from the train, I guess this is a rice plantasion.
Kerala, village along the river.
Sea in Amritapuri, Kerala! The sea made quite an impact, Kerala is definitely a really beautiful place. It's a shame we didn't stay in Kerala for longer.
Here you can see some pepper! We went as far as the pepper grows. We stayed in an accomodation place, which had their own small garden on the back yard, where they had all kind of fruits, herbs and vegetables growing. 
Coffee beans! 
And here is the banana tree. 
Papayas.
The alcohol culture is quite different in India. I don't know about the night-life in bigger cities, but this is a local "bar" in one village - a small stall beside the street, which sells booze. And not too fancy, just pour the liquor in a paper-cup and all in. 
These are the typical shops they have, kiosks beside the street.
Street cooking. I remember this was making masala dosa. Not that I'd dare to eat off the street...
And last, but not least, the palm tree. No coconuts there though!
