I happened to find myself in the Chandigarh market area (as opposed to Panchkula where I normally work, live etc) one Tuesday evening. I finished my work quite early and I didn't want to go home yet. So I walked into a sweet shop to pick up a snack. I decided on Dhokla, one plate. The guy behind the counter weighed out 250 gms of the stuff and as he was closing the box I stopped him and said (in Hindi) - "Add some more (chili) peppers to the box." The guy broke into a huge smile. "The joy of eating Dhokla is mainly the peppers. We get all sorts of crazy people here who ask us to remove the peppers and it drives me crazy." And so he went on while he wrapped up my dhokla box. I think I made his day :)
