Oh, I've eaten this thing once while visiting Dongargarh, a Temple town located in central India.

It was the only time I had seen this thing. There were dozens of vendors selling this lined up on the stairs to the temple.

It seems the snack has gone popular now. It's quite tasteless, felt like eating soft wood.

Never expected to find this on Hackernews!

This snack has started appearing in Chennai as well. Pretty sure I have never seen it before 2-3 years here. I always was interested about the curiosity around it as a YouTube food reviewer asked some very specific questions and the vendor refused to answer.

Also pretty much everyone say it has no taste and only the lemon, salt and chili powder adds any taste but makes me wonder why it’s a profitable business if so.
