This video explores the cultural significance of Piyazzu, a popular street food cherished by the Rohingya community. Crispy, flavourful, and made from simple ingredients, Piyazzu is a deep-fried snack often enjoyed as a quick bite or an accompaniment to tea. Through the lens of street vendors and home cooks, the film delves into the preparation process, the communal joy of sharing this beloved treat, and its role in Rohingya daily life of camp.
