My Version of Bhel Puri
2 handfuls of puffed rice
1 or 2 handfuls of sev and mix in a bowl.
Dice half a large onion, 2 tomatoes and a bunch of cilantro. Add these to the bowl.
Take 5 baby potatoes and pressure cook. 5 or 6 steams should go or till u get the smell. Cool, peel and mix with other ingredients. I used my hand for this process.
Add salt and red pepper according to your preference.
I also made a sauce using "puli" and jaggery and salt. Put the "puli" in water and squeeze out the juice. Put this on the stove and add a large piece of jaggery. Let this dissolve and add some salt. Boil till u get the consistency u want.
Eat the chat along with this sauce. You can have this plain or with bread or as a general accompaniment to any meal. I think it's pretty healthy since theres no oil except that in the sev. And we're using jaggery instead of sugar.

Selling Art and Photos
One of my friends is really good at photography. I mean really. So I was trying to find a place where she could sell some of her pics and I came across these 2 places. One is a company called Alamy. You can submit photos here. They check for quality and if your pictures past the test, then you are in.
Fellow blogger Carbon monoxide suggested the other. It's called Deviant Art. You can register and become a deviant. Yes... that's what yr called after you join. It's like a community where people can comment on other people's art, you can put your work up for sale or just browse through the pics posted. This is more related to art in general rather than photography alone. They have a chat and a forum. Some of it is really good. Click here to become a deviant
