1960 December - India. Amritsar, on a street side stall preparing jalebi, a traditional sweet. It is made from wheat flour batter and fried in ghee, clarified butter. Once cool the spirals of dough are soaked in syrup. I have to admit the jalebi became my favourite sweet.

Camera Leica lll F with a collapsible Leitz f 5 cm 1:3.5 lens. Film Kodak Tri X Pan at F5.6 - 1/100 second. The camera was on loan and my film was cut from bulk rolls and loaded in a re-loadable leica cassette. It was a convenient low cost way of carrying film but not ideal. The film had to be loaded in the dark and static electricity always attracted dust which shows on the negative. Developed by hand in Koregaon using May and Baker Promicrol at normal dilution with water from the village well.
