Nan khatais - roadside mithai, Haridwar

  • 2 years ago
Sweet seller making sweets in Haridwar. He is using a funny little cooker, one which we have not seen in use extensively anywhere else in India! Maybe it's a local improvisation!

He blows into the fire with a phookni to stoke the flames, in the already hot summer season! What does he seem to be making? It looks like nan khatais to us! Haridwar is considered one of the seven holiest places by Hindus.
