Inspiration for my pakora sales originated here in Dehradun. Pakorewale sells nearly 5000 rupees worth of pakoras a day on Tilak Road.

Mother India was at home for holiday brunch: Alu Paratha (stuffed whole wheat breads stuffed with potatoes), Spinach raita, Upma (South Indian semolina with mixed vegetables), pickles, chutneys, hot chai ( vegan and made with whole fresh spices).
