When i saw this image for background i guessed it was 'jeeraka mittai' a delight during the childhood days.
My best recollection is that of Ravimama bringing these to our home in kuttimuk.
Something about it is the sheer numbers that amused me during those days. Ofcourse the variety of colors as well.Quite often after holding them in my palms due to the warmth the the colors start to spread amongst them and onto our palms.It was easier to share them than anything else.
These days Jeeraka mittai is not to be seen but in Hotels they serve Jeera coated with powdered sugar which is also tasty.
A few other things which i remember is what i heard about my cousin while in a shop after he was lost, when he saw this bottle of Jeeraka mittai in the shop started to shake the bottle.
