Brace yourselves for the second helping of Foodka's Darjeeling adventure! This week, we dive deep into the magic of Darjeeling Tea, tracing its journey from the verdant slopes of Selim Hill Tea Estate to your steaming cup. Witness the meticulous hand-plucking of delicate buds, followed by the mesmerizing transformation into the "Champagne of Teas" at the renowned Dorje Teas factory.
But the flavors don't stop there! We're taking you to the heart of a local tea worker's home, where the aroma of homecooked goodness awaits. Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with the fiery kick of Dalle Khursani (Dalle Chilli) pickle, paired with fluffy rice, comforting dal, and a vibrant spread of local dishes.
Busting myths like a boss, we'll show you that life in the hills isn't all about meat-centric meals. This episode is a love letter to the diverse and delicious vegetarian fare that nourishes the body and soul.
And no Darjeeling trip is complete without indulging in its iconic street food! We'll savor juicy Darjeeling momos, melt-in-your-mouth fale, and the pièce de résistance - tea leaf pakoras, a crispy, crunchy revelation for any tea enthusiast.
As the day fades, and the bonfire crackles, we'll end this Darjeeling chapter with a warming sip of Dalle Khursani Rum, a unique concoction that captures the essence of the place in every fiery drop.
This episode is a love letter to Darjeeling, its tea, its people, and its unexpected flavors. So stay tuned, because this is just the beginning of a whole new series bursting with culinary adventures!
