Indian comfort food after a day of chasing tigers

One of the best things about the "Serai Tiger Resort" was the staff that took care of us. Monica in the kitchen served us amazing Indian delights. Every meal we had a variety to choose from and there was always more food than we could possibly eat.  Mr. Kundanran seemed to be the man in charge on the site. He always made sure we had what we needed. In fact, when Paul developed a very bad cough while we were there and both Monica and Mr. Kundanran tried to nurse him back to health. They brought him ginger tea and fermented pieces of ginger to suck on to help sooth his shore throat. They even sent us off with some ginger the day we left. They were a lovely couple. I highly recommend letting them take care of you if you go to visit the tigers in Tadoba tigers@seraitiger.com

The Sunset over Tadoba Lake

As we drove back to the resort from the  safari, we were fortunate to witness this lovely sunset over the lake. The air was already starting to cool down from the 35 degree heat of the afternoon. Just after dark the staff came and asked if we wanted to see the wild boars that were roaming in the fields around the resort. We ran to see them because wild boars are crazy fast. We saw 20 in a procession heading towards a farmers field. Apparently they can be very destructive.

Crunchy Appetiser

I do not know what this was called but it was delicious! I couldn't eat the chapattis because of the wheat in them but I did enjoy quite a number of these tasty morsels.

The Feast

When we arrived on the first day they asked us how spicy we would like our food to be. We told them that we liked spice. I think they are not use to pale faced tourist who are actually  able to handle some heat. The first meal was good but we did tell them it could be more spicy. With raised eyebrows, they obliged and brought us some of their homemade spicy pickle to try also.  We always enjoyed our meals.
