Lunch in a Cave

Biri was worried we were eating to much hotel food so he asked his buddy Murthie where we could get more traditional home cooked meals. Murthie told us we had to come and his mother would cook for us. He also told us we would be eating in a cave. I wondered what eating in a cave meant.
When we arrived, Murthie's sister was sweeping out the cave and laying down the mats for us to sit on. The cave was right beside the store I showed you in a previous picture. We removed our shoes and walked into the cave and nestled into the angled rocks. It was actually quite cool and comfortable. It was nice because we were getting quite hot as we waited outside. The difference in temperature was remarkable.
The food was delicious. When Biri says  it was a little spices, you know it had some heat. They were surprised I had seconds. It was fabulous, I think my system was getting use to all this Indian food.  

Cave Food:

Indian food is so colourful. This was the best meal in Hampi and it was made just for us.

 

The Cave Restaurant:

We were so lucky to have Biri as our guide in India. Our trip  would not have been quite as special without having an insider like him. Indian people are very gracious. We had never met Murthie's family but we were friends of Biri's so we were part of their family.  It was humbling.

Our host Murthie:

Murthie was quiet spoken but he drives an Indian equivalent to a Harley around Hampi. He has a lot of pull in these parts.
