The making of jalebi. Broken down into a descripti The making of jalebi. Broken down into a description, a jalebi is maida flour batter, deep fried and then soaked in sugar syrup. Screams of cholesterol and calories abound, but then, walking the streets of India, and one comes across a busy vendor, it's hard not to stop and sample, the crisp outer layer gives way to a soupcon of sweetness (by Indian standards at least) and then you realise that truly, there is something truly emotive and delicious about Indian street food. Oh, to get back to the streets of India and get on a walking tour! #incredibleindia #streetfood #walkingtour #foodtalkindia #foodtours #nofootprintsmumbai #nofootprints #memsahibinindia #discoveringindiadifferently #india

My No 01 destination for photography? Bateshwar, h My No 01 destination for photography? Bateshwar, hands down. It just lends itself to it perfectly. Oh and with the wildlife on the Chambal River and UP's first heritage village of Holipira, you won't be short of topics to practice your skills on! And what's more, it's just 1.5 hours from Agra. #agra #photography #bateshwar #chambal #holipura #weareindianexperiences #memsahibinindia #discoveringindiadifferently

Girls' weekend away in Pickering in which we disco Girls' weekend away in Pickering in which we discovered how lovely Pickering is, how it is an town full of dog walkers, were invited to join in the fun and song and dance of the concurrent 1940's even that was taking place, how smart and elegant they all looked! Where we ate and drank and laughed and bonded and that's what it's all about. Oh, I also had my first UK 'curry,' Naga duck which blew my head off and got to practise my dreadful Hindi too. On the way home, stopped off at the Eden Camp Modern History Museum. I never knew it existed! Amazing. #edencamp #edencampmuseum #northyorkshire #girlsweekend #pickering #1940sfashion #focus4hope

Delight at a pause in a busy day exploring with a delicious street chai or amusement at being double cupped, to protect my "precious memsahib" hands? Or just the pleasure of doing what I love, exploring Beyond..... In this case, Beyond Benares, away from the ghats and boat rides to see what else should be explored, but rarely is. #discoverindia #discoveringindiadifferently #indiadifferently #memsahibinindia #memsahibonthemove #varanasi #banares #benares #kashi #weareindianexperiences #chai #organic #tea #teabreak #masalachai #streetfood

Last year I tried Bee Bombs, got rather excited ab Last year I tried Bee Bombs, got rather excited about them and not only scattered them around my own garden, but persuaded several friends to do the same. Nothing, not a single flower. Not to be deterred, the bees still need our help after all, this year I tried wild flower seeds, all over the garden and in every pot just for good measure. Nada, nope, zip, squat, not a single bloom has emerged. Apart from that is, this one flower sitting atop what we have nicknamed, the beanstalk, which has shot up over the summer and now stands at over 5 feet tall. I spied this little friend on it yesterday. It's next to the bird table and so can only attributed to a dropped bird seed. Guess it's true about the birds and the bees after all! #bees #birds #birdsandbees #savethebees #savebees #beebomb #wildflowers #summerwatch #springwatch #garden #gardens #mothernature #natgeoyourshot #natgeo

There's not much that can make me leave Yorkshire There's not much that can make me leave Yorkshire these days, but the opportunity to catch up with my bestie after almost 2 years is a pretty good reason, even if it did mean heading down to that there London! She didn't really need to bribe me with dogs..... Or is it a case visiting the dogs and the bestie was the bonus? Riverside walks in London with this girl's best friends. #weekends #london #memsahibonthemove #philippajkaye #bestfriends #itsadogslife #agirlsbestfriend

For the next in the Discovering Destinations Diffe For the next in the Discovering Destinations Differently series, we take a look at Amritsar. The Golden Temple has to be one of the most extraordinary places to visit in India but beyond that, there is no much more to discover, including, but not restricted to it's wonderful street food. Did someone mention an Amritsari Kulcha? https://memsahibinindia.com/discovering-amritsar-differently/ #travel #food #india #streetfood #travel #amritsar #weareindianexperiences #indianstreetfood #indianexperiences #punjab #foodporn #memsahibinindia #goldentemple

That Sunday feeling .. That Sunday feeling ..
If living in India taught me one thing, it is that If living in India taught me one thing, it is that street food isn’t just a snack to fill you up. No, it’s a feeling, it evokes memories, conjures a smile and invariably an anecdote. One doesn’t just eat street food, one participates in a whole emotive experience.  To diss India’s street food is to attack her very soul.  The first time I ever got trolled on social media was when I dared to question the obsession with Maggi. #food #foodporn #streetfood #foodie #foodiesofinstagram #philippajkaye #weareindianexperiences #discoveringindiadifferently #foodpics #india #indianstreetfood #foodandwine #foodandtravel #lonelyplanetindia #condenasttraveller #maggi #magginoodles
