Vegetables in Bandra
SO WHATS COOKING TONIGHT….
If you are living in Bandra, you can cook food from any part of the world.
Want to make some Chinese or Thai food? All the required vegetables are available at your neighbourhood vegetable vendor. You can find essentials like bak choy, shitake mushrooms, snow peas, zucchini, Chinese cabbage, Chinese ginger, bamboo shoot and lemon grass without a problem.
Is a yummy salad on the menu tonight? Green lettuce, iceberg lettuce, avocado, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers and salad leaves are on hand.
In the mood for Italian food? You will find fresh herbs like basil, thyme and oregano along with parsley and celery to add that zing to the pasta or spaghetti at the corner vegetable guy.
The enterprising vegetable vendors in Bandra do brisk business in all kinds of non-traditional vegetables. It is not difficult to find any exotic vegetable required in your recipe here.
The same can be said about fruits. We in Bandra can buy a whole range of fruits from around the globe. Big reddish apples from Washington share shelf space with bright red apples from New Zealand. Huge purple grapes from China are offered along with kiwi fruit and large maroon plums. Even the lowly banana now has competition from China. Big, bright yellow Chinese bananas are now displayed. In fact, I had never heard of a fruit called pomelo before I came to live in Bandra. But you can find pomelos at the fruit wallah at Pali market.
It is another matter that you need a fat wallet to be able to buy these offerings. But still it is nice to know that should one want a change from dal-chawal-bhaji routine, all those ingredients mentioned in the recipe are easily accessible in Bandra.
