I'm really craving some great Indian food and there are two award winning Chai Pani restaurant here in the Southeast. The one in Asheville, NC is 370 miles away while the one in Decatur, GA is a hundred miles closer and less than a five hour drive.

Chai Pani Decatur is having a big party next Tuesday, lunch is at 1130, with the main event at 1800.

Here's a few items being served at the Mela:

 • Georgia Peach Bhel: Pearson Farm peaches, basil, cucumber, spiced pecans, green chili, corn poha, green chutney, sev.

 • Chili Chicken: Marinated, battered and fried halal chicken thighs tossed with a soy chili sauce, peppers, onions, and chilis.

 • Wild Mushroom Uttapam: Savory pancakes made with fermented rice and lentils. Topped with roasted wild mushrooms, ginger, chilies, and onions.

 • Mango Halva Poori: Sweet mango & semolina pudding served with fresh deep fried flatbread.

 • Baingan Bharta: Fire-roasted eggplant mashed with olive oil, green chilies, onions, roasted tomato, and curry leaves.

 • And much more...

I have nobody in my life that want's to go with me, so I'm going solo. I'll blog about it and take a lot of photos. I have plenty of money, so I'll stay in a nice hotel and blog from there. Maybe I'll meet someone, probably not, but that's OK, I'm finally becoming resigned to my reality.
