There are many private supermarkets but Patel Brothers have spread their
wings in all corners of America and many delicacies and Indian sweets are locally prepared in private homes and factories. There were all kinds of sweets available and things like khakhra, sev
and other savories too. I am not surprised that visitors are discouraged from
bringing food stuff into the continent., they are strict at the airports, there is
really no need to bring grocery to USA, everything is locally available there.
My cousin insisted that I try the
briyani at Chemeli. Their portions are large but the
food tasted great. There were some mouth watering dishes like kababs and
curries too. This one is the family run eatery that serves Bangladesi, Indian
and Pakisthani cuisine.
Royal Sweet Mart specialised in Indian street
foods. In this restaurant, the man was working in the open kitchen,
frying a huge dosa, stuffing it with potatoes bhaji and cheese, cutting it into triangular shapes and serving like a pizza.
Week after week, Indians in Dallas have regular
religious meetings, either in the temple or in the private homes. At
Hanuman temple and SaiBai temple, lunch is served weekly. Some of them have in
private homes in rotation, where they enjoy Indian cuisine during pot luck
parties. It is more like a social gathering. Elaborate lunch is prepared,
people get to try new recipes each week thus keeping in groove with indian
cooking.
