“Price follows place, not emotion. If demand is high, value is proven — even poha becomes premium,” a user wrote. “I think the quality and preparation do matter so the peoples are interested to pay high otherwise such type of products may not be sold out with a high price tag,” another user commented.

“Its just 8 and 18 dollars. Not much.. You can get tea @ 10 and poha @ 20 rupees in India also,” a third user reacted.

Prasad’s Instagram handle features several videos showing his daily routine of selling chai and the Indian snack poha on the streets of LA. Several of his reels show customers lining up as his food items sell out quickly. In one of the videos, the man also claims that his long hair and moustache often lead people in Los Angeles to compare him to Jesus Christ.
