Buffet Breakfast in Bombay

Variety is the spice of life. In India breakfast  varies from region to region. We had a wonderful buffet breakfast at the Vits Hotel, Mumbai. Their buffet spread comprise of both vegetarian and non vegetarian choices.

THE VITS MUMBAI
 The below plate has Vade, Vegetable Pakoras, Uttapam with Sambar. A little definition of these delicacies:

Vada : Vada is a traditional South Indian food known from antiquity. They are made from dal and lentils. They are not sweet, but savoury, and is crispy on the outside, and soft in the inside. The Vegetable Pakoras are actually Vegetable Fritters, and were very crispy, especially when eaten hot.


Another Indian savoury breakfast menu was the fried vermicelli. The dish was fried with spices, curry leaves and some veges. It had no meat, but it was still very hearty and fulfilling.
On the western side (still vegetarian), we were served with potato wedges, pancakes and baked beans. Do take note, of the star shaped cheese on the top-left of the plate. The cheese was a delight to eat. Not too salty, but creamy enough, and the best part, it was sprinkled with a dash of chilli on the top. Was a delight to eat!!
As for the "carnivores", there were a choice of bacon, ham and eggs.
Another beautiful things was the fresh juice spread. You can really taste the fresh, undiluted fruits and vege juices. We had cucumber juice which so cool and refreshing, carrot and the strawberry yogurt. And on the second day, they serve beetroot juice, which had this intense colour, and cucumber yogurt. Here it shows the freshness of the Indian produce....

 
BREAKFAST AT SHARDA INN, SHIRDI
Sharda Inn serves only vegetarian cuisine, and as I said before, we never missed the meat at all as we were presented with a delightful choice of food here.

This was my plate of breakfast filled with gorgeous colours and definitely so fulfilling, accompanied with a glass of strawberry lassi.

One whole week of being vegetarian, and we never felt eat. Cheers to India!!
