Fire tricks of Delhi chanawalas' are very simple and natural....I found one chanawalla near Karol Bagh, Delhi. Here the Chanawala is trying to wax up the heat of the clay pot to serve warm fried chana to his customers... As I have told you, the trick is very simple...
The chanawala has managed a small clay pot with some burning charcoal in it. The clay pot has a handle made of iron wire. If you notice carefully, the clay pot has some small holes at upper part of it for ventilation.
After placing some burning charcoal in the pot, chanawala puts small wood pieces to ensure continuous heat. Now, next step is very simple...using the wire handle place the fire pot inside the pile of fried chana.
Warm fried chana is very populer among commuters especially when they are returning home after a day long business in Delhi.

[Chana=Chickpea. Chana is also known as chhola or chola in India. Chana is a part of reguler Indian diet and well apprised for its high protein and fiber content! ]

Thanks for your visit to Carver Cards and for your comment on my wordless wedensday post. I wanted to let you know I totally agree about the need to end wars. The poster I used was an old world war I poster and I probably shouldn't have been joking about it. I posted it as a vintage one about another era.
Very interesting post and pictures. I observed this type of fire trick only in peanuts stalls so far.
hmmmmm... i really miss those fast and wonderful everyday treats!
The chanawalas are very creative and clever and it sounds like they make a very tasty treat!
