Simple Delights of Life
Mangoes, Carrots, Indian Gooseberries and Pineapples in Brine are the speciality of small “Gaadi” in Kerala. Just one look at them and I was floored. It was our favourite thing to munch on during our stay in Wayanad. I call them Simple Pleasures of Life… I am sending these pics to my dear friend Jyothsna of Curry Bazaar who is hosting this month's RCI-Kerala.

my my don't we all love those :) The mangoes and gooseberries never taste like those sold on the carts, I have never been able to recreate the taste. Maybe it is just the childhood experience itself. Take it easy! Don't work too hard :)

I remember eating the same when I was in Wayanad last year. I ate the pineapple slices (after a long arduous hike up a hill) and they were delicious along with the green chilli that they put in. Oh you have brought back memories of a great holiday
