Indian coke

Got "Thumbs Up" at Vik's Chaat, thinking it's a cola beverage made from real sugar (like the Mexican coke). Turns out it's still made from high fructose corn syrup... booo.

Chaat Challenge #2. Dahi Batata Puri

This was a little better - fried dough + yogurt + chutney.  I was a little disappointed that it wasn't really that much different from the dahi papdi chaat.  The later puri ones in the menu look a little better, maybe I should skip ahead to those first.

Chaat Challenge begins! (#1. Dahi Papdi Chaat)

Ok, not really a food challenge per se, but I wanted to try every item on the menu at Vik's Chaat Corner, located about 1/2 mile from work (no, not all at once).  I went with the #1 lunch special, which was Dahi Papdi Chaat.  Basically garbanzo beans + potatoes + spices, with yogurt + tamarind chutney + mint chutney from what I can tell.  I didn't particularly like it, but it wasn't bad either, especially for $5.xx.  I thought it was a little dry, only to realize that I was supposed to mix in the yogurt in the bowl.  Hoping tomorrow's dish is a little better.

P.S. Bonus points if someone can guess what book is under my keyboard.
