Destination for a walk today was to get a couple of masala chai at the SpiceDivine shop (#Merivale Rd).

Very tasty but it took FOREVER to make it. I guess it's a testament to the scratch-made technique – saucepan of tea and spices simmering on a burner for 20min.

Quite a thriving traffic from South-Asian community at that combo grocery and restaurant.

There's a Sunday $10 dosa deal, and the #paniPuri gets people in for the fun of popular Indian street foods.

Jhaal muri [Bengali; literally spicy puffed rice] #Indian #StreetFood #Recipe
Toast puffed rice (sold in bags as 'Mamra' in Indian stores), some peanuts, small diced boiled potatoes (or steam diced potato as here) w a touch of salt, chopped red onion, chopped hot green chillis, mix em all together, dash of salt & cayenne pepper, quick squeeze of lime and this is critical - good teaspoon of pungent mustard oil.

Somewhat non-traditional as I served in a brown, not newsprint, paper bag
