TACOS


Tacos has been only American food that kept me alive when we go out.Since i am a veggi and not a big favorite of veg burgers and salads its difficult for me to survive when we go out.But when i first heard this name i was so exited as this was my favorite in India too.... u might be surprised to hear this but... true... in India.
Chellam Aunty taught Mexican Tacos in her cooking class and i loved the taste and used to do this often.But when i tasted Tacos here for the first time i was in for a surprise... it was not the same taste :( but not bad when compared to other foods like Bagel and other stuffs.

This tacos which chellam aunty taught was Indian version i guess . i like this Indian version of tacos/ chaat better thaan american tacos.... I am republishing the post with the photo.
