Sunset Jan 10 2008 Evening and its Channa Chur time with the vendor calling out in a loud voice through his tin mega phone - «Channa Churrrrrr!». His first customer took one mouthful, spat them out and so the Channa Chur chap sat down to have a nice chew himself...

Channa Chur for the uninitiated: Puffed rice, boiled black chick-peas, chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, chopped tomato, salt, squeeze of lemon juice and a few drops mustard oil all shaken up together and served in a paper cone. Yum! And oh, the chopping-up is done with a rusty old knife - adds to the special flavor!
