street vendor in a bustling outdoor market preparing what appears to be fried plantains. The vendor is sitting on a small wooden stool, tending to a large pan of oil heated over an open fire. They use a slotted spoon to manage the plantains frying in the oil. Beside them are several bunches of unripe green plantains, a bowl of fried plantains, and discarded plantain peels. In the background, other vendors and pedestrians are visible, along with a yellow auto rickshaw. The scene is somewhat cluttered, with buckets, waste, and cooking equipment scattered around the cooking area. The overall impression is of a busy, informal food vending operation in a public space.
