So you've got a place to cook, now how do I get groceries

Find those low calorie alternatives and cooking for myself one of the big motivations for moving from a Hotel environment to an apartment. 

Now the hunt begins for food that I can prepare or eat as is...

A big part of my daily routine is the dairy. I'm currently addicted to 0% MF Greek style yogurt. Now to find it or the equivalent in Bangalore. 

Well the aforementioned More Store  on has low fat, which in this case is 2%. I need something infinitely lower. I searched a few other locations but came across it in a store called Westside. 

Its initially quite firm, but get watery quickly when stirred and left to sit for 10 minutes. Still not Greek Yogurt, but I was pleased to find something pretty damn close. 

For fats, cashews, almonds and as I mentioned peanut butter are readily available. Avocados are huge and relatively inexpensive here. 

Fresh fruits and veggies can be gotten from places like Mores, but you really have to try going to the local market like I did yesterday, Russell Market 

Named after Indo-Canadian Russell Peters. 

Me in the veggie and fruit aisle. 

The market also sells fresh fish, live chickens, goats, rabbits. I would advise against it and it stinks like the living dead. Blood flows in the streets. Try not to think about it and keep moving.

I also found out that there is such a thing as a red avocado. I previously thought they were only green! Who knew.
