can i have some bread with my butter?

while i have really enjoyed the food (for the most part) here in india, i've had some difficulty in Amristar. Aside from dealing with food poising from before, i found it really hard to deal with how much butter they use in their dished here.

I had one meal that tasted only like butter, and everything glistened with oil. i understood why, when i walked out on the street and saw people melting slabs of butter on their nan bread. It must be about a tablespoon per piece of nan. with my unhappy digestive system, all this grease didn't appeal to me.

it's odd, since punjabi food is kind of famous. in fact, it's where most of the indian food we get n the states comes from. like chicken tikki masala, palak paneer, aloo gobi. I think these are all punjabi cuisine. well, i guess they've americanized it back in the states, and I'm thankful!

i bought some fruit this morning. the oranges were like heaven.
