Awww, you guys are so sweet! You collected all the squirrel poo off my yard! If you’d knocked on the door, I would have surely made masala chai with puri-bhaji for you.
i’m going to blacklist your IP.
Are they morels by any chance? Been trying to get my hands on them for a while now!
morels are pricey. these are not.
Walnuts in shell?
Is it dried Amla(gooseberry)?
Swiss chard seeds?
Truffles? White ones?
Dried mushrooms?
Dried gooseberries?
Some kind of dried fruit I think, but I can’t imagine what. I’m so curious.
I’m guessing mushrooms of some sort, but frankly, I have no idea! I’m intrigued though!
Pecans?
It’s definitely something which I have not seen earlier.
I suck at guessing, Manisha’s comment made me burst into laughter !! You guys are a great sport too :):)
dried apricot? some pieces look like dried kokum too.
sorry the earlier one was me
I think its some sour food like Kokum. Mangosteen or Aamsol ??
B!! It is….is it???? Hmmm ….welll…ummmmmmm…*thinking*….*still thinking* well i think I Don’t Know! :D. LOL@ comment n reply # 1!
am so bad at this - will second Manisha on this one!
Guys, is it by any chance kachri, the rajasthani cucmber like vegetable from the melon family ? (Not my description, got this from a Rajasthani cookbook:-))
Areetha?
is this the one with which they wash gold it is called naruvolu in kannada.. im confused……..or.. walnuts..
hahah…manisha and you sure know how to brighten a day!..and I have no idea on what that is..and my brain doesn’t seem to work now
I am with Manisha. It looks like poo of some sort I am just not sure from which animal!!
Dried Khubani?
I can’t decide whether to say white truffles or Chinese yellow mushrooms.
Macro shot of black pepper.
thought we’ll play the same trick twice! guess again!!
ditch areetha…this is some kind of seed pod? some kind of sesame?
Dried apricot[zardaloo,khubani]! Khubani ka meeta is a famous Hyderabadi sweet made of these.And Parsis make zardaloo …something[not getting the name:(]
you mean this?
http://jugalbandi.info/2007/08/zardaloo-zsali-zsoy/
no.
Hi,
I guess it would be Dried Apricot or may be dried Mushroom ….
hugs and smiles
jaya
truffles
Hmmm, can’t wait to hear the answer. I think they are dried something. But, just to be different from others I will say Chinese tea balls.
I give up!:-)but waiting to know whats the answer to this one!
Looks like Walnuts but I have Walnuts with smooth skin,although dried. Enlighten me, oh Mr.Know it all!!:D
I think they are truffles..
this is dried kachri
Still recovering from Manisha’s comment… Ok, ok. Am stumped… Was thinking either walnuts or kokum, but really not sure.
LOL @ Manisha’s comment. If it is true, how dare you…
Brown cardamom taken with a macro lens???
That looks like a bitter thing thats to be deep fried and had like kondaattam or papad. Can’t remember the name, but seen it as a kid, i think.
can’t decide between dried ginger and dried turmeric!
Awwww come on! Don’t make me go get AOL.
some kind of dried berries ?
i also thot dried amla, but i see multiple seeds, so no…
My vote is with dried mushrooms. I was going to say whole shelled walnuts but they would look a little more uniform I thought. Very interesting though…can’t wait to find out
poop?
Just two words. Exclusively Awesome.
I have no clue…but can’t stop laughing at Manisha’s comment :). She has a great imagination :))
I think it’s dried Amla! Lol @ comment #1!
Think… its some kind of dried (chinese) bittergourd.Cannot control my laughter at Manisha’s comment…:)
ah that was expected reaction:)!
