Breakfast

 It is always nice to kickoff the day with a tasty breakfast .  There is always a rider though that with age you need to cutoff the cals .  I love a khichdi made out of the dalia , a typically Indian dish made out of broken wheat .

Our car trundles up the steep road, its headlights catching a small tea shop in Khalsee, a village about 90 kilometres from Leh. It’s a welcome sight on the desolate stretch even if it’s spartan—all it has are a couple of rickety tables and benches, and a nearly empty cupboard...
