On a visit to London last Friday I took a walk over to a market I haven't been to in years. What a wonderful surprise. Dell Boy and cronies are gone and in their place is a cornuacopia for foodies

Borough Market has been transformed into food heaven. The first surprise is the food demo kitchen. Chef Marcus Valberne of Roast was giving a display of very British cooking, slow roast stuffed belly pork with apple sauce and gravy. It was delicious and so nice I cooked it from his recipe notes on Sunday.

The market was thronged with people buying lunch from the food stalls, shopping for weekend food and discussing the various cuts of meat with butcher and choosing fish for dinner. There is a very eclectic mix of ethnic cuisine from the food stalls with authentic Thai and Indian street food, to cheesy oozing Raclette, crispy fish and chips, pungent salt beef, delicate sushi, rustic hog roast, earthy sour dough sandwiches, sizzling sausages, sunshine from the Caribbean, brashy bratwrusts, succulent smoothies, Argentinian beef and toasted pastel de nata and lots lots more.  Borough Market deserves lots of visits to try the different foods on offer.

Any who loves cooking will swoon at what's on offer here.  Fantastic butcher's with well hung meat, extensive fish and shellfish from around the coast, including smoked fish from Ireland's west coast.  When it comes to vegetable offerings, if you can't find what you want here,  give up.  Also available at the market are stalls selling confectionery, sweets, spices, cheeses, herbs, charcuterie, jerky, condiments, chutneys, jams and much much more.  Next time in London - don't miss Borough Market.

There are so many delicious recipes which Indian street sellers use to apply while making street food for selling to their customers and Bhalla is also one of them so you see the recipe video here.
