        <content>On my way out of Sunnyvale I swung by Rajjot to take a look at the offerings.  The steam table items looked shopworn after 2pm, but there is a full menu of chaat and snacks that seem worth exploring.   I was even happier to find that the Rajjot makes its own jalebi.  I bought the minimum one dollar's worth, which is more of a sugar-rush than I can eat in a week.  These are really fresh, still crunchy, and the rosewater-perfumed soaking syrup is still liquidy.  I like these very much.

What else is good here?

      <content>hey, from the picture i see they've got barfi. gotta get it - especially if they have kaju (cashewnut) barfi. barfi are sweetmeats, btw.

i also see mooli something. is that mooli paratha? if so that must be gobhi  (cauliflower) paratha, funny how they've spelt it gubhi. both those parathas rock if done well.

looks great.</content>

      <content>Melanie, I think I got a sugar rush just by looking at your photo of the Jalebi!  

I noticed my favorite Indian dessert on the menu - Ras Malai - will have to check this place out.</content>

      <content>gosh, i AM slow these days. too much sag harbor sun. 

the standard name in western india is 'rajat'. 'rajjot' sounds exactly like how a bengali (or bangla deshi) would pronounce 'rajat'. 

the bengalis always want to say their 'a's as 'o's, god bless them. thus the name 'sandeep', pronounced 'sun-deep' by western indians, shows up as 'shon-deep' in bengal. that also explains the 'ghubi' spelling for 'gobi'.

look for bengali specialties at rajjot sweet and snacks. so the ras malai should rock.</content>
