Fayetteville, GA Born and raised an Auburn Tiger, 3rd generation AU alum, married an AU Grad, hope at least one of my kids can go to Auburn but with the Hope Scholarship and possibly Zell Miller, something in Georgia is hard to pass up. Really struggling to stomach this national championship game. Those of us that live here in Georgia will understand, but I may, and I stress may, pull for bama for the first time ever in my entire life!!! Don't do it!! It's a regret you'll have forever. I grew up at Clemson, AU Swimming. USC med school. Everybody hates thUGA, but hating bama is a special hate. Stick your head in the sand and hang here with us tonight and enjoy being a basketball school. That's what I'm doing. What game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her late father was an AU professor of sociology...a HUGE favorite among those who were blessed to have him. I didn't...upper level classes, I believe. We have friends who pastor churches and train other pastors near Rudrapur. He says we have a standing invitation to come. I was thrilled to find an Indian grocery in Birmingham over Christmas break and have some lovely "Punjabi Sakar Para" (Preeti's mom used to make it; hers is better, but this will do) for my Manvik and the rest of the class to try. My AU freshman texted last night to say that he is loving the Aloo spicy snacks he took back with him. Manvik's mom made me the most incredible Chicken Tikka (not Tikka Masala...that's my favorite...but am I super wimp and like it mild) and biryani right before we got out for Christmas break. I was so touched. There is nothing as incredible to me as getting to teach children who are from abroad. Everyone grows! P.S. Preeti and her mom used to give me the most beautiful glass bracelets. I was so careless that I kept hitting them on things and breaking them, but I was FASCINATED by them. As well, a sandalwood keychain that kept its scent forever. I look forward to seeing the beauty---scenery and people---in person one day. Wow, I didnt take sociology so probably didnt know him. But, yeah you should plan a trip to India before it changes too much. i know what you are saying about those Shakar Paras ...they are good. You should try some south Indian food, they are distinctly different as well. While I was at Auburn, had no luck finding Indian food, some of my friends would make that trip to Atlanta to grab a bite. Enjoyed reading it ...

ToraGirl 5,498 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 IndianTiger, when you come back to Auburn for a visit, there's a good spot on Opelika Road now, near Niffers. Both of the two in Montgomery are terrific. Slowly but surely, the Deep South is catching up...sure need to! ? I would love to try South Indian...will keep my eyes open. I so get going to Atlanta for my international food fixes over the years. For the Atlanta area peeps...the current #1 budget restaurant on TripAdvisor is worth the raves. Located downtown in the Mall at Peachtree Center (?), Aviva...means "spring" in Hebrew...Mediterranean, total fresh...owner-from-Nazareth Kameel gives some proceeds to lupus research and gives you an unheard-of welcome plus all sorts of free food. It's delicious, especially the falafel, but it is Kameel himself you will want to carry out. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLoofus 35,182 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 @ToraGirl, check out Chai Pani in Decatur sometime. I'm not sure how much of it is South Indian, but it's not your average butter chicken-and-saag paneer buffet Indian. Unfortunately, Asha Gomez has closed both her restaurants. She is from Kerala and did some really spectacular- like, nationally, James Beard-recognized- South Indian food. She might still be operating in some capacity, not sure, but no more brick and mortar I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for South Indian, my parents being from Kerala, you get unique foods that are Kerala specific. - Malabar Beef Curry, Avial (vegetable medley) . Also Chennai food thats really good are Dosa, Vada , Sambar (lentil/curry dish) etc. Not to mention the sweet stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple places on Lawrenceville Highway in Decatur to get dosas. And sweets. And the best samosas I've ever had (which came from, I think, the Royal Sweets shop). Also, I am stupidly guilty of forgetting just how diverse India is, in so many ways. Even after going to the wedding of a North Indian guy and a South Indian girl. He's Hindu, she's not. He was born in India, she was not. Etc. They had to reach some compromises on the ceremony, IIRC. Btw, the wedding was *awesome*. He rode in on a horse. She was stunning. They gave us refreshments during the ceremony. The dancing was incredible. I learned how to screw in the light bulb and pet the dog. I might've eaten 10 samosas.

Funny, I was just going to mention that if you are going to India, try to get invited to a wedding. Looks like you had a ball. People forget India is very diverse.
