TANDOOR ROTI MAKING
by pravdr
tandoor is an mud clay oven in which indian delicacies are cooked.traditionally it is a mud clay oven lit over firewood.
modern adaptations are the one which iam showing in the photos which are used in cities although they can never achieve the heat of the traditional "tandoor"nor can it replicate the smoked taste of the food cooked over firewood.
indian breads, chicken and mutton delicacies grilled over the fires are specialities.
this form of cooking extends right from afghanistan,north west frontier province punjab and north india.
the most simple form of indian bread is the "tandoori roti"then add to it the variants like nan(triangular two piece indian bread) rumali roti( very thin leaved indian bread akin to the thinnness of a handkerchief) kulcha(multilayered roti) paratha(multileavened bread often with boiled potato mash mixed with the flour)
Autorickshaws
by NedHopkins
The fastest way to get around in Delhi -- and every other city I visited in India -- is by autorickshaw ... except perhaps very late at night or very early in the morning, when there isn't much traffic.
Autorickshaws (like the one with a yellow top in the picture) can squeeze between cars, trucks, and buses, breaking free of jams that tie up normal taxis.
This street scene was photographed mid-morning on 30 December 2004. It's typical -- except for the absence of trucks and buses ... and cows, ox-drawn carts, and (in places like Jaipur) camel-drawn carts and the occasional elephant.
Take a ricksaw and Get lost in the streets
by tripodologia
To me the best thing to do in Delhi is ...first... don't use taxi, take a ricksaw, make a agreement with the driver and he can be with you the whole day and he can show you diferent nice places, where to drink the best chai on the streets and where to eat cheapper and good local food. You can only walk per hours, every street is diferent and have something new, you can find Ayurveda doctors in the streets, magicians of serpents, devout people praying together with sellers. Delhi is incredible but you must lived this city in a nearby way.
