I can think of no finer sign of civilization than a hotel (Novotel in Hyderabad) which offers spa services from 7:30 am. After arriving a 4 am (and not having slept as much as I’d have liked on the plane, or anytime in the last six months, for that matter), I indulged in some much-needed pampering. Wish I had time to do it again…

The Classic Indian Bun Omelette
This one includes tomatoes and probably green chilis, and was served on a bun with funky pink and green candied fruit.
Recipe:
- fry onions in butter until soft (or brown, if you like)
- fry tomatoes too, if you’re using them
- add eggs lightly beaten with a little milk
- add green chilis (chopped into small rounds) and fresh cilantro/coriander
- flip to cook the other side
- when cooked, fold in half and serve alongside bun as shown above or (better) fold into quarters and serve ON bun. Bun should be toasted in the same pan so it gets nice and greasy.
- Have sweet, milky tea with it.

In case you’re wondering: cheese noodles is Ramen or Wai Wai noodles with cheese stirred in so it melts while the broth is good and hot.

Gallery: Hauz Khas, Delhi
Hauz Khas is a quiet green spot in the madness which is Delhi, with tourist appeal and historical significance. These photos are from my 2004 visit. Note that the gallery below now includes Jantr Mantr and other sites in Delhi.
ps There are some nice boutique shops and at least one great restaurant nearby.
