India 5x7
Garlic Rice, India. A dinner time treat that is restaurant worthy but is hamemade fare. Golden pan roasted cashews nestle in Jasmine rice that had been generously flavored with garlic, cilantro and peppers. This photo was taken about 2 hrs after the afternoon sun had left my window.
Sugar ready to sell. Balls are crumbled into tea, used in baking, or eaten straight as a sweet treat.
Completed balls cooling and hardening
Then they must work quickly to form the hot "dough" into individual balls before it cools and hardens
As it cools, the syrup is scraped
Syrup is cooled in a large stone basin
...into a malleable "dough"
Stoking the underground oven with dried, leftover cane scraps
