I just want to use this opportunity to celebrate my favorite Madison meal, Chautara’s tofu secuwa. On a recent lovely spring workday, we walked down State, sat outside and took part in total yumsville. Unfortunately, I took some of the pics after partaking in the culinary delights so they don’t really do justice to the beauty on the plate.

A Diet Coke, a treasure from the Himalayas.

Pakora (veggies in a fried chick pea batter with a most delicious salsa)

Salad (the dal is awesome, though)

The piece de resistance, the tofu secuwa, which is grilled tofu and green peppers and onions on skewers, served with an amazingly tasty tamarind sauce, spinach rice and a green bean mixture (it looks way prettier when I haven't eaten half of it before photographing it)
