Ever since we moved up to the San Francisco Bay Area, one of my favorite places to eat has been Amber India Restaurant in Mountain View. I was delighted to find papri chaat and pav bhaji on the menu. My colleagues in India call it “Indian junk food”. I call it delicious.
This past week’s Chronicle has an article entitled “It’s time to have a little chaat” which lists a half-dozen local restaurants that specialize in chaat. Next time we’re in Berkeley we’ll have to check out Viks Chaat Corner and see how it stacks up to Amber.
In the meantime, I can always remind myself of the goodies I ate last May.
I like Pav Bhaaji! But, the expressions on your face when you were having it in India last May, made me wonder what’s so delicious about it ! 😀
I like Indian junk food. Where’s the Minnesota chaat?
