After much deliberation, battery-charging, camera-tweaking, bending, hemming and hawing, I finally have the entry for Click.
I bought some dried cherry chillies from the wet market last weekend. Or what I thought were dried cherry chillies. They were actually dried red dates! Ah well, as long as they are red, it works. And maybe I can come up with some nice chutney or dip with them, who knows.
As I did last weekend, I took close to 15o pictures today and finally have my entry. I am so happy I can finally think of food without wondering what colour it is. Phew.
Hot & Sweet - My Click-Red Entry
Now tell me. If these were in a transparent, unlabelled packet in a shop selling vegetables, wouldn't you have thought they are dried cherry chillies too? There you go!

nice blog you have here. Funny how you thought the red dates were cherry chillies!! I was laughing! But guess if you've never seen or had red dates - who would know!!

Sig - I totally agree about the double backdrop. I was too tired at the end of it to do anything about it..

I saw this in the gallery. Lovely idea to mix the 2 toghether & lovely shot too.
We call those dates, "Ber".. I think those are dried ber. We make khatta mitha pickles with these in bengal with Jaggery. Also used to make Dal, which adds a sour taste to the dal.

You have got the Click right, you should make a cranberry and red chillies relish
