Time spend with friends is always wonderful. There are many things we do. Actively engaging with our friends, can include activities like hanging out, going out together, having conversations, playing games, sharing meals, or simply enjoying each other's company. The best part is sharing each other choice of foods. As the weekend started and getting relief from school examination, few of my friends ended up spending quality time with multiple food items.
Sharing food with friends, strengthen relationships through the act of eating together. It us a way to show hospitality and build camaraderie. The act of sharing food is inherently social and signals a willingness to connect with others, releasing oxytocin (a feel good hormone) which enhances bonding. Sharing meals can encourage people to try new dishes or flavors they might not normally order. This is what made the time best. We all have have different choices, however we have a common choice and that is gol-gappe.
We also tried another dried version of the same, which also tastes better.
We all crave for this crispy delicious street snacks of India. Popularly also known as "pani-puri". It contains , spicy tangy water filed in a crispy ball. We put them directly into mouth. There is nothing better starter than this item. We ate good number of this and then inside a local sweet shop to try out different dishes. Since our examination is over and have good amount of time to begin the new session. We make the most of the available oppurtunity, in trying out all the dishes. We ordered our choices of food item. One of my friends ordered "Masala dosa".
This is a south Indian dish, again a crispy flat bread served with spicy chutney and curry. I have ordered, "Pav-bhaji"
This item is also popular in western India. Multiple mashed vegetable, are served with pav also called as bread. We have another item in offing and that is "Raj kachori".
We can refer this as advanced form of pani-puri. This one is again a bigger piece of crispy ball which is filled with many item, making it a delicious dish to try. Having so many choices of foods alwsys makes eating together fun. We shared each other food while talking on different subject and enjoying the moment.
Having a such break after the rigrous examination schedule is always blissful. We enjoyed till late evening and had all kind of food or choice.
