Tibetan dinner

So an American friend of mine invited me to dinner at a Tibetan place. He said to meet him at the National Institute of Design and we would walk from there, so a few other guys joined us. Now I was expecting a regular restaurant, but apparently all these Tibetans come to Ahmedabad during the winter, so they stay in these tiny brick self-built houses and some cook and sell their food until they go back to Tibet in the summer.

So there were all these little houses, and Zach wasn't sure which one he had been to before, but a woman pointed us inside one. It was this tiny, one room house with a sheet up dividing where a woman was cooking. There were already several Indian guys sitting around these plank tables on bricks eating. We had some great hot lemon tea, but they had run out of MoMos - these steamed or fried dumplings, so we went to another place Zach had been to. This place was a bit bigger and apparently NID students had painted decorations on the wall - there was a big dragon. There were the same tables, so we sat down, had some lemonade, and then they brought out the MoMos. They actually had like beef sausage in them. We ordered steamed and fried - I think the steamed ones were the best. Then there was this pot of noodles with broth and a plate of beef strips with vegetables. It was soooo good! So nice to have meat cooked well by a culture that actually eats it! And nice not to have only roti and a curry!
