A Spicy Night in Versailles

After a month of French Food, I was craving something spicy last night. Someone suggested we go to Versaille for a repas indien at Le Taj Mahal! So, a group of hungry MBA students drove as fast as we could (without stopping at the stunning Chateau de Versailles) to get the last table at an Indian restaurant. It was filled with French families and couples. Looking around, I noted that one of the most popular dishes was naan fromage. The French love their cheese and this dish consisted of nan filled with fromage indien, or French cream cheese. (Paneer doesn't exist here.) We ordered a number of poulet (chicken) dishes as well as, dahl (lentils) and lassi mangue (a mango yogurt drink). Ymmmmm.

This meal was a big contrast to the traditional French meal we had today, "moules et frites" (musssels and French Fries).
