Its me Pankaja dasa by the way,
Okay this is meant to be humorous.
When I was in vrindavana, in the temple. The food was not really to my likeing, I thought it was because the Bengali food was cooked that way, but now back in Uk, I think maybe the person cooking 'can't cook?', is that possible?
I tried to cook some kichari like in Vrindavana and it tasted exactly like the kicahri in Vraja:eek2:. Tasteless, (i can't cook to save my japa beads), what I am trying to say is, well..
When I was in Birmingham temple in Uk, the food was really really nice. The cook knew what he was doing. I had some kachories in Vraj from Dhaba that we nice. And the restaurant in Mathura (Govindas), was reasonable, I really think 'they' who(?), put cooks who can't cook. Indian cooking is very very very difficult, all those spices, even reading a recipe book. Anyway its meant to be humorous post;)
