Street foods are a delicacy that can be enjoyed anywhere
Street food is one of the most diverse and common sight that can be seen in almost every corner of the world. Bustling streets with a small shop serving the famous delicacy of that place is not uncommon.
There is something about street food that makes your mouth water and your hearts melt. The smell of food reaching your nostrils and playfully tingling your senses and attracting you is something we all have experienced. The culture of street food becomes even more important in the Indian context because the diversity that you can experience from one state to another is unimaginable. The plethora of food that we are offered is not just tempting, but also worthy of appreciation.
Street food acts as a great unifier
The most beautiful thing about street food is the blurring of boundaries. Eating at a roadside dhaba or a small stall is not limited to a particular section of the society. Take the highway dhabas for example, not only do they serve the daily commuters, truck drivers, but people from all walks of life.
The charisma lies in the process
The entire act of seeing the food being prepared in front of you and being assured that it is fresh is what adds to the experience of eating and enjoying street food.
Even though the feels cannot be created, we have some recipes here for you that will for sure give you the taste of street food.
