Bhajji- a nice roadside snack in tamilnadu



This photo is of poor man's snack called "Bhajji".This is favourite snack available at roadside teashops all over Tamilnadu.

 "Bhajji" is made up slices of plantain,onion or potato or chilli soaked in kadalai maavu and fried in cooking oil. This with tea make a good combination.It is available in Kerala also-but it is cooked in coconut oil in Kerala.

Clay Cooking Pot-Photograph



This photo  is taken by me at my friend senthil murugan's village house.This sand cooking pot used extensively during olden days but nowadays limited to the villages.This kind of pots are cheap and they use "Viragu" or "Sulli" (tree branches) as fuel by burning them.

only flip side is the smoke from these pots are too much and amounts to a bit of uncomfortability for the cook.
