ギータさんには、北インド料理をご馳走していただきました。
インド料理と聞くとカレーを想像してしまいますが、今回作っていただいたのは、日本にあるインド料理屋さんで提供される料理とは全く異なるものでした。かといって日本人の舌に合わない、なんてことは全くなく、どれも美味しくいただきました。
豆やスパイスの種類の多さに驚いたのはもちろん、調理法やキッチンツールも日本では馴染みのないものばかりで、わくわくしながらお料理を待つことができました。

メインからデザートまで、とても丁寧に作っていただき、非常に素晴らしいおもてなしでした。
英語があまり話せないことが少し不安でしたが、ギータさんの英語がとても聞きやすく、日常会話程度しかできない私でも、十分にお話が楽しめました。
楽しくて美味しくて、時間があっという間に過ぎました。
機会があればまたお伺いしたいです。

Geeta prepared finely made and various Indian food and later, explained each recipe politely. A lot of spices. Dish was impressed with gusto like a professional! Ｓhe introduced a traditional sweet from north-India as “ Jalebi” as well as a dish this time. The personality of Geeta is charming and is anxious ,and I think her OMOTENASHI is special. Her son was pretty and was a fun dining table, too! The tool she uses and the cutlery as well as the ingredient were also interesting. I'd like to recommend everyone her Kitch-hike!Surely, everyone should be Happy!

Thank you again Geeta！

Thank you for good fun lunch time.:)
I had a wonderful lunch at her house where is very nice view.
I love her Indian dishes, it is very tasty, sophisticated and warmhearted Indian cuisine.

She made preparation of all for cooking before I visit there.
And she told me about variety of spices and vegetables, and I could see she was cooking in the kitchen.
It was very fun for me.

I didn't know that Okra is use after dried in India, that is very surprise for me:)
I could know new things and I could feel nice tasty food.

I have very grateful to her and family who is very kindly, friendly.
That time makes me happy.

Thank you again Geeta and family.

とても素敵なお家で、とても洗礼されたインド料理を頂くことが出来ました。
野菜や食材にもとても気を付けているGeetaの料理はどれも美味しく、たくさんのスパイスや野菜が使われているのに
すっきりとまとまっている素晴らしい料理でした♪
フレンドリーで楽しい家族と一緒のランチタイムもとても素晴らしかったです。

Great food, I especially loved the paneer (tastes like a kind of cheese) and desert. I was a bit afraid it might be too spicy for me, but it was just fine! I guess you can tell your spiciness preferences.
I got to experience a few steps of the cooking process, even though all of the laborious cutting/etc had been prepared before, apparently she had been preparing since very early in the morning!
I often eat Indian food in Japanese restaurants, but only here did I recognize some of the tastes that I had experienced in Delhi.

Bonus:
- Nice view on Tokyo harbour from the dining room.
- Friendly family.
- River and bridge nearby, can make a pleasant walk in this residential area.

I greatly enjoyed Geeta's "Full-course" real indian dishes. Our stereotype of Indian food is all about Nan dipping in a cup of curry. I got to know actually those are not exactly true. As indian culture is full of diversity, so is the Indian meals. You'll be surprised at so many spices in her Kitchen and her story about Indian cuisines.
Personally I really liked the dessert made from carrots. Her hometown Agra has various sweet stuffs, and you'll love them if you're a big fan of sweets:)

At the same time, you'll be amazed at the awesome view from her room at Tower building facing the sea. And every small pieces of accessories makes the room pretty and relaxing.

Thanks again for having us!
