Chaat le Phattey...

As the red and the green sauces mixed and flowed down the broken puri shells, my mouth watered. My tastes buds reached out and i felt the immediate need to savor the dish . But that didn't happen..I knew I had to capture this dish as best as I could. Its was like the colors of Christmas on a plate..only this time they could be eaten. I wanted to photograph a portion of the dish that showed all the wizardly ingredients that went into it. The broken puri shells stuffed with potato, onions, cilantro, tomatoes and ton of stuff i didn't know could only be made better with the crunchy sev that topped it off. YUM. So i fought off my killer instincts and for the better part of me decided to take a few pics before tearing though the plate. Lets just say, this dish was devoured in a matter of seconds.

Time to get a good pic : 3 mins
Time to eat the plate : 55 second on the dot!
