5 Treats from the Streets of India That Would Leave You Drooling

Indian street food, one of the world's most vibrant cuisines, is a tangible representation of this vibrant and active society. Indian street hawkers have established a recognized reputation for themselves in the culinary world as some of the most famous, spreading their goods to various areas of the world with a variety of tastes from sweet to salty-sour and spicy.

The majority of chain restaurants have fixed business hours, but street vendors fill in the gaps by serving food all day and night, whether it's steaming hot idlis or samosas in the morning or late-night masala chai or a Kathi roll to satisfy your post-pub crawl appetite.



Let's take to the streets to discover some of this beautiful country's oldest cities and the mouthwatering cuisine they have to offer. Bomaby Chowpatty® which is regarded to serve the best Indian street food Calgary, brings you 5 lovely treats that you must try this holiday season.


1. BHEL PURI

The majority of Indians would remember eating this delicious puffed rice salad as children, which has grated carrot, cucumber, sweet corn, and bujiya sev (deep-fried gram flour vermicelli). It is generously seasoned with chili powder, black salt, chat masala, dried mango powder, and lime juice.

In certain locations, the mixture is also combined with a sweet and sour tamarind sauce and a hot, herb, and green chile sauce. To give a little crunch, some areas sometimes add roasted peanuts to the mixture.


2. ALOO TIKKI

A perfectly crisp outer layer that has been shallow-fried, a moist, soft, and flavorful interior filling, with just the right amount of acidity from red onions and hints of sourness from lime and dried mango. They contain paneer or cheese as well as boiling and mashed chickpeas and green or yellow peas. All across the Indian subcontinent, mashed potato is used to make this desi cutlet or patty.

Modern variations also include soya granules to the cutlet to produce a different texture. Curd or yoghurt may also be added to the cutlet to give it an inherent richness from the protein. This simple dish appears to have adopted cheese as a basic ingredient, making it a favorite of both children and adults.


3. VADA PAV

Mumbaikers believe that no day is complete without indulging in one of the city's numerous famous vada pavs, commonly known as the Mumbai burger and considered to be the ultimate monsoon snack. A cut, buttered, and toasted pav or piece of bread is gently sandwiched with a hot, steaming potato fritter, which is then topped with a deep-fried green chili and served with two or more sauces. Usually one spicy, herbaceous chutney made with coriander, mint, and chilies, and one sweet and sour tamarind sauce.


4. CHOLE BHATURE

There are disagreements about the dish's origins, with Delhi and Punjab fighting over who is the rightful owner of this delectable specialty that is frequently seen in the country's north. Typically, a hot, spicy, thick white chickpea stew and deep-fried wheat puris make up this meal.


The thin wheat bread, also known as puris or bhature, is deep-fried in oil, giving it a crispy surface and a soft inside. A base of stewed tomatoes is used to make the channa or chole masala, a rich crimson curry that is spiced with garam masala, cilantro, chili powder, and turmeric.

Although it's often eaten for breakfast, this meal is sometimes offered as an evening snack. It is typically served with coriander and mint chutney, hot pickles, pickled onions, and carrots.


5. PANI PURI/GOL GAPPAY

Yellow peas, mashed potatoes, spicy coriander-mint chutney, chopped onions, and chopped cilantro are combined and deep-fried into puchkas or little hollow pooris. They are then dipped in a cold, refreshing mixture of jeera and chili-infused water, with tamarind added for a sour aftertaste.


Having said so, it would be sensible enough to deduce that Indian street food is not just a crazy blend of the most prized spices but is actually heavenly. So, if you haven’t tried it so far, visit your favourite Indian restaurant Bombay Chowpatty®, where you will find the best Indian street food Calgary and taste the magic…
