A Punjabi-Australian Roadside dish


Toni Daa Dhaba is a roadside restaurant on the old highway between Lonavala and Pune that serves emu meat. It's hard to believe but true. These birds, native to Australia, are not endangered. But that doesn't help. One still feels pretty sad for these caged nomads that love to roam the outback freely for miles. The guy trying to fix his


car in the third photo looks oddly like the emu's African relative, the ostrich.

Shivjit had heard about it so he took Rajesh, Sam, and me to this dhaba near Lonavala after a pretty adventurous trek
