Blog-a-prompt 5 – Spicy
Whew!!! Last minute entry for today’s prompt.
There really is nothing as spicy as street food. Whether it’s the vada pao, misal or bhajiyas from my current hometown – Pune or it’s Lucknow’s chaat, sprout bhel, khasta, chana jor garam or baati chokha – it just has to be hot hot hot.

 |
| Spicy Tea.. anyone? |

 |

 |
| … and finally the khasta teams up perfectly with potato sabzi which also has a liberal sprinkling of green chillies. Oh and the jalebis are here for two reasons.. One, I figured you might want some |

The narrow entrance to the Jallianwala Bagh where the massacre happened. Each time I try to imagine the scene that day many many decades away I get goosebumps – 1000 dead and 1500 injured in a space of 6 minutes, just 6 minutes.
