Lunch today with a very old and dear friend I haven't seen for about 20 years. I don't mean she's very old. Just our friendship.

We went to an old haunt. I lived nearby for longer than I've ever lived in any one house.

Jai Krishna, 161 Stroud Green Road, London N4, United Kingdom. Last time I was there was about 30 years ago and Annie Lennox was sitting at the next table.

We ate:

"Papri Chaat - Papri refers to crispy dough wafers served with potatoes, chillies, yoghurt and tamarind chutney, topped with pomegranate seeds."

My favourite!  Kachories. Lightly spiced lentils in pastry, deep fried and served with tamarind sauce.

Thali - Papadam (not pictured), Mixed Vegetable Curry, Tarka Dal, Chickpea (Garbanzo) Curry, Boiled Rice, 3 Poori, Yogurt, Mango Chutney and Sweet.

Like idiots who had never been there before, we ordered one thali each (as they were advertised in terms of serving size). Each could easily feed two to three people, so friend went home with more food than we ate.

Good day.
