Weekly Trip to the Market
After being in an Indian household for five months I was in desperate need of some non-curry-laden food. I just wanted some bland raw or steamed fruits and veggies. That’s it, raw or steamed with no spices or oil. So for the last five weeks or so I have been making a weekly trip to the outdoor fruit and vegetable market. Every week on the drive home I am in awe at how cheap everything is. The prices are fractions of what they would be in the U.S. Here is what I purchased this week with the prices:
1 kg peas, 1kg sweet potatoes, 6 small tomatoes, 3 cucumbers= Rs.70=$1.51
2 different kinds of mangos (large)=Rs 36= $0.77
Average size pineapple= Rs 24= $0.51
Altogether= Rs 130=$2.79
Amazing, right?
