India is known for its diversity and the best example of it can be seen in terms of street foods of India. Here, every city offers some sort of street food that reflects the vibrancy of flavours we are blessed with. From Delhi to Mumbai and Kolkata to Bengaluru, you will find all varieties of vegetarian and non-vegetarian street delights that are filling and delicious. When we talk about street food, the discussion of Chaat Tikkas and Paani Puri becomes necessary. Be it north, south, east or west, every region of India has its own specialty of these there variations. The USP of Indian street food lies in a melange of exotic spices that are used either in ground or raw form. If you observe, black pepper powder is used in almost every savoury street food and they are generally very coarse in texture, as compared to the fine powder that we use in household. The coarse powder not only adds to the spiciness of the dish but also adds a nice colour contrast and texture. Similarly, use of yellow chilli powder in Chole and Tikka masala makes the dish look appealing. With the change in time, the street foods have also evolved and a lot of varieties have been added to age-old recipes. For instance, earlier we only knew about tamarind based water for Paani Puri, but now a wide range of flavours are available at the street stalls and you can choose as per your taste and preferences. While many of the street foods are available throughout the year, there are dishes that are season based and they taste divine during the specific period. For instance, Daulat ki Chaat or Kanji, they both have unique flavour and have a limited shelf life and that's the beauty of these delicacies. Here, we have listed all variations of street foods of India, which will surely make you hungry!
