India is a land of rich culture and diversity. Each state of
India have something special in it. But one thing, that is different in each state is their
cuisine. America has American cuisine, Italy has Italian cuisine, France has
French cuisine, but India has Punjabi cuisine, Pahadi cuisine, South Indian
cuisine, North Indian cuisine, Gujrati cuisine, Rajasthani cuisine, etc. etc..
Today we are going to look at, top 12 street foods found in
india.
So let’s begin…
1. Pakode
Pakode are made up from gram flour and other vegetables. They are made by mixing veggies like potato, onion, Brinjal, spinach, chilies, paneer and other things in gram flour liquid and frying them on high flame. They are eaten all over India. You can easily find a shop selling Pakodas in most of the cities of India.
2. Chole Bathoore
Chole Bathoore basically belongs to the Punjabi cuisine but
is eaten is in every part of North India.
It consist of a chickpeas curry and a fried bread of flour
called bathoora. You can find it on streets as well as fine dining restaurants.3. Paw Bhaji
Paw Bhaji is a very famous dish in north and central parts
of India. It consists of paw, a bun and bhaji, which is a mashed potatoes
curry. This simple dish is very tasty and very popular.
4. Stuffed Parathas
Stuffed parthas are eaten in almost every home of India. You
can found a popular stuffed parthas shop in every 5 to 10 kilometers. Usually they have stuffings of
mashed potatoes, cloiflower, raddish and panner. In India, we usually have butter or curd with
stuffed parathas and sometimes a hot cup of tea also go awesome with them. One
most popular shop for prathas in whole Delhi-Haryana regin is “Sukhdev Ka
Dhaba”, which is according to me, is very unhygienic and going there is just a
waste of time and money.
5. Dhokla
Dhokla is a very famous Gujrati dish. It is made up of gram
flour. It is very lite and healthy. There is one one special dhokla made up
from rice and it is white in color.
6. Falafel
Falafel is very popular in cenral India. In India, small
falafel shops are getting closed, but you can still found it in some central
states of India. Falafel consists of a fluffy bread or bun filled with
different veggies.
7. Gupta ji ke burger
“Gupta ji ke burger” is an Indian version of burger. The bun
is deep fried and it is filled with a slice of onion, tomato, paneer and
cabbage. You can easily found them on road side stalls, but I will not prefer
you to have them because they are very unhealthy and unhygienic. “Gupta ji ke
burger” is not a brand or outlet, it’s just a name every street burger stall
used to keep.
8. Sweets
India is known for it’s sweets. In India, sweets are not
deserts, they are a totally different cuisine. There are more then 1000 type of
Indian sweets. You can easily found a sweet shop near every colony. Now these
sweet shops are getting standardized and going world wide. Bikanerwala and Haldiram, also started as a sweet shop
but now, they are not smaller then a MNC.
9. Panipuri
Panipuri is a crunchy semolina ball of filled with tamarind sauce,
mint water and mashed potatoes. This small bomb goes like a blast of taste in
mouth. It is called by different names in different regions of India like
golgappa in delhi.
10. Falooda
Falooda is like an Indian ice cream shake. It is made with Vermicellis,
falooda ice cream, rose syrup, few different type of seeds and milk. This
falooda is super heavy and super tasty. The taste is heavenly.
11. Chuski
Chuski just consists
of shaved ice and flavor syrup. This thing is loved by children, but I will not
prefer you guys to have it from the street because the ice that most of them
use is very bad and we don’t even know about the flavors that they use.
12. Samosa
Samosa is the most common street food that you can found in
every state of India. Samosa consists of a cruchy deep fried layer filled with mashed potatoes
or some other thing. With some mint and tamarind sauce, this crunchy pack is
super awesome.
