Eating chaat to dal and rice cost him 50 cents or less, two samosas cost around 30 cents, a vegetarian thali was about $ 1, and kachori, the author's favorite, was around 30 cents.
If you're ever in India, there are a few things you just have to try, my favourites include Idli (what I was
eating in my stories, with a face of pure joy), dosa, appam, butter chicken &
chaat.
