Homemade Indian meal

Since I have been in India I have eaten at restaurants and in a cafeteria but tonight I got to experience a true homemade meal. My friend Sid generously invited a group of students to his house for a meal cooked by his mother. I had by far the best meal since being in India. We started out with a tasty snack while the main meal was being cooked. It was sweet and very delicious. When we got the main course we were thrilled and we were not prepared for what happened next. We were all in the living room talking, eating and watching TV while Sid was sprinting throughout the house delivering the food. The food did not end and Sid would not allow any plate to be empty. The food was so amazing and the hospitality made us feel like we were part of their family. There came a point when we could not eat anymore food because we were so full. This was the time when they brought out ice cream for us. Though we thought we couldn’t eat anymore, there is always room for ice cream. After dessert Sid’s mother taught us how to make Chai (Indian Tea). Chai has definetly become one of my favorite drinks since being in India. I felt very honored to meet Sids family, they were all very sweet and welcoming. It has been a long time since I have eaten until I cannot eat anymore. It is a great feeling to be full and I am so glad I got to experience a homemade Indian meal with some of my close new friends.
