The first street scene - just a typical pavement shop in Delhi.
I was especially interested in the advertisement for Special Channa Masala. One of my many memories of Bombay (Mumbai) was buying roasted channa from street vendors. They were chickpeas which would be roasted on coals and served up in a cone of newspaper. Delicious - I cannot remember ever getting "Delhi Belly" in my childhood there. Another favourite snack from those street vendors was sev, known as "crackles" or "slangetjies" (little snakes) here in Cape Town. A video of sev making can be watched here.
