The key is to start picking out the good ones, by which point the <i>sabzeewaalah</i> notices you and hands you a basket. Then you just tell him how much you want without naming it, and he'll weight it out. Never hurts to pick too much of the good stuff, that makes the guy respect you, and only throw out the not-so-good extra.

I just hope they can co-exist with the upscale retail stores and don't completely disappear in the coming years. Re: Kanda, Bhaaji and Batata. Haha, having come to Pune from Delhi, I must say I had to re-learn Hindi all over again! Mumbaiyas have butchered both Hindi and Marathi :-) Compelely agree with the later part of this post…I love the look and feel of the Indian subzi mandi.

But guess the convenience of having eveything under one roof has to take over. In UK we have special farmer markets where we can have farm fresh vegetables. The older generation still prefers it over chains like Tesco and Sainsburys Yes.. retails cannot match the freshness and feeling of buying it from a ’sabzeewala’.
