“Kharad kadlekayi beeja bisi puri / spicy groundnuts mixed with hot puffed rice” – long ago an old man used to yell this tag line after every 5 minutes as he walked on the roads of Mysore after 6:00 PM selling spicy groundnuts mixed with red chili seasoning and puffed rice. The rains would have cast a chill over the city and people huddled inside homes would welcome something spicy and healthy to eat while sipping filter coffee.
