Hi Saswati, Another post from you that made me nostalgic. I know how you feel when people are so ignorant about Orissa. I saw Asha's comment about Odiya vs. Oriya :) Yummy aloo chop..and I found another Odiya blogger - Devyani. :)

2008-02-24T04:31:00.000+03:00

Saswati, I do identify with your sentiment about people's perception about the place you're from, Orissa. Whenever I talk about my birth country, Guyana, people often say, "Oh, Jones Town. That's that place where Jim Jones poisioned and killed a lot of people right?" It makes me angry and sad at the same time.

I am very happy that you are promoting the cuisine of your area and I look forward to learning a lot.

We make someting similar to you aloo chop, but we simple call it potato ball :)

Thank you for stopping by my blog and I look forward to seeing you around.
