Generally there are no artificial preservatives used; just good ol'-fashioned salt, water and the only additives may be some chillies.

Here's another one for you : http://the-urban-gardener.blogspot.in/2009/08/plantation-dreamin.html<br />That was the precursor to this current post, actually. The river that you see in the first photo is just a few kilometres away.<br />I have to admit that my photos just don't do justice to these places. So whatever you see, just keep in mind that the actual place is easily 50% more beautiful (at least).<br />I hope I'll see you here again soon, Patrick.Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433906806220848808.post-22528700458874903662012-11-29T21:20:45.075+05:302012-11-29T21:20:45.075+05:30Ah yes, Trudi.

Very disappointed! <br />Mahatma Gandhi in Munnar ? ... hmmmm<br />I loved staying far away from the centre of Munnar town. It was so primeval.And to top it all we were told that wild elephants regularly trek past the estate bungalow where we had stopped! Beautiful, beautiful place.
