Audrey gets a lesson in street food cooking at this aloo tikka stand at Assi Ghat in Varanasi. What started out as a quick lesson turned into a 20 minute job, as the stand got busy and everyone worked together to get everyone fed quickly. Audrey got thumbs up from the customers for the tomato-potato mixture she was stirring. She was paid with some stuffed puris (small, puffed fried bread). Watch the video.
The stove in this Pamiri House serves to keep the house warm and heat water. The larger of the two doors in the ground is the entrance to the hearth which is used to bake bread and warm the floor.

Before she knew it, Audrey was enlisted to work at this street food stand at Assi Ghat in Varanasi. Her job was stirring and mashing the tomato-potato mixture to go with the aloo tikka (fried potato balls). It was a tough job - she had a blister on her finger after the 20 minutes behind the stove. The stand owner though was responsible for all the seasoning - sweet sauce, lemon juice, fresh coriander (cilantro). Watch the video.
