Who dareth call me a snob??? Off with his head!!

L’il pebbles here ventured into the bazaar today (yes Mr. President, I deserve a Bharat Ratna). Started off by going to the Supermarket and picking up tons of different dals: Toor, Mixed, Urad & Masoor. Also bought a couple of other stuff (like my fav. Amchoor Powder!) before venturing into the actual Bazaar Bazaar.

First up on my list was carrots. Found dude who had these & a whole lot of other veggies too (easier to get all things at one place, me thinks).

Also bought 4 to 5 other other green veggies: “pav” (1/4) kilos each:

Then bought some Kaacha Masala. Smarty pants asked for Garam Masala first (by this time dude had already figured out I was a seasoned bazaaree, so he dived in straight for the Kaacha Masala):

Then came the tomatoes:

And the Kaanda Battata (onions & patatoes):

These I got from another dude as first guy was too expensive. What I did was walk around a bit, ask for prices, check with some old ladies what prices they got & then bargain for little less. Worked pretty well. Especially since I took pics of both veggie guys - they were very thrilled - showed both of them their pics (”madam photo dekhao”) & got the prices down still further :D

Final maal was as follows:

T’was fun.

And I ain’t a snob okey??
