Eating "Tiffin" style in India!

When our friends Chris and Warren (they seem to be an on-going theme lately!) (I like it too!) mentioned to us yesterday about a woman that cooks for them a few times a week and delivers it as well..Ray and I lit up like nobodies business.

Reason being is~
1) were here for 6 more months and we are Not doing our own cooking.
2) it gets boring going to the same places and eating (even though the food is good)
3) Monsoon weather has arrived and that means down pours of rain at any given time with very little notice.
4) rain is good, but it ruins my hair...(joking)

So of course when I said we were REALLY interested. Chris, being the Super Man that he is (no joke, honestly, I know there are the "go to guys" here in Mysore...but Chris just Knows How to Get.Things.Done. and Pronto!)
Arranged for us to get our First Tiffin Meal delivered to our home Today!!

We didn't want Chris or Warren to deliver it because we don't like to inconvenience anyone...but they insisted today.
So at 1:30 this special guy showed up on his scooter...






and gave us this Huge meal...

it was much more than we could eat..almost!! We Forced ourselves to finish it because it was so Incredibly Delicious. Plus we eat dinner at 2:00 or so each day, so we knew it would last us all night! The flavors were just divine and you can NOT get this in any restaurant..especially the Roti!! It had herbs cooked into it. It was SO GOOD!!!!

and this pic is Before we washed the Tiffin boxes! I know, it looks like we practically licked them. We practically, almost did! We also just Love the fact that the woman who cooks this incredible food really can use the little extra that she charges for it. We love helping out those who need it while were here if we can.

So we called up our "go to guy" Super Man Chris and told him that we Must, Must have this at least 3 days per week. No less.
You know what he said?

"Which days?"

I told him which days we wanted..

"OK, Fine, Done" he said. (Indian head bob was there too, I was sure of it)
and you know what the best part is?
He means it and It Is Done!

And That is how you Eat Tiffin style in India!
