When I was walking around Durbar Square in Kathmandu, Nepal, I couldn't help notice the bright pink street food. More street food on my website here: http://migrationology.com/
So I kept seeing these hot pink deep fried discs, and being a curious eater, I had to just stop at a stall and sample them for myself. I didn't know at the time, but the vendor later told me that they were puris, or deep fried pieces of dough - similar to a deep fried tortilla. They have plenty of puris in India as well, but I had never seen them in any color like hot pink. They were not that tasty, they were mostly greasy, and would have been better along with some kind of curry. I'm not sure if they were meant to be eaten plain or if they were supposed to be eaten with another more flavorful dish.
Luckily the vendor also had onion pakoras, or deep fried onion fritters. Though extremely greasy and salty, his onion pakoras were excellent in flavor and a wonderful Nepali street food (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf493MCi5rA) salty snack!

This really looks like a snack for kids. There are similar crackers in Southeast Asia. Also brightly coloured. Mostly eaten by kids.
While exploring Durbar Square in Kathmandu, Mark Wiens stumbled upon a street vendor selling hot pink puris, which are deep-fried dough similar to tortilla. Although the puris were mostly greasy and lacked flavour, the vendor also had onion pakoras; deep-fried onion fritters that were flavourful and made a great Nepali street food snack.
Mark those pink purris are offering to the god at morning.. people of KTM do not eat them
Looks like polymer clay when raw. But it's slightly more natural I guess
Yeh Stupid puri ni papad hai

You tried all the wrong foods and did not bring the actual amazing food that are found in Nepal. Sorry to say but you lacked research and mis represented our authentic food.
