Must Try Street Food in Mumbai
As someone who has spent their entire life in Mumbai, and as a college student who has extremely shallow pockets, I've had plenty of time to find the best foods to eat without burning a hole in your wallet and still enjoy a scrumptious meal.
1. VADA PAV
Vada Pav, also called the "Poor Man's Burger", consists of Batata vada sandwiched between two pieces of pav (dinner roll) and is topped with sweet, green, and dry garlic chutneys. Batata vada are fried potato dumpling fritters with a batter coating.
2. CHAAT
The original chaat is a mixture of potato pieces, crisp fried bread, dahi vada or dahi bhalla, gram or chickpeas and tangy-salty spices, with sour Indian chili and saunth and fresh green coriander leaves and yogurt for garnish, but other popular variants included alu tikkis or samosa bhel puri, dahi puri, panipuri, dahi vada, papri chaat, and sev puri.
3. MOMOS
Momos are a famous street meal in India's northern states. These dumplings, commonly known as Dim Sum, are formed of flour and stuffed with a savoury filling. Although they are available all over India the stalls in Mumbai do a fantastic job offering you an amazing selection at achievable prices with an unforgettable taste.
4. DOSA
Now before you come for me, Yes, Dosas are native mainly to the south, but the menus available list unexpected combinations of a beloved dish that just seem to work together. Students and the office crowds alike can be seen enjoying Dosas with a noodle or pasta fillings and raving about the flavours at every given lunch break. The traditional Dosa has an irreplaceable spot in our hearts but the options served helps take experimenting with fusion to a far more achievable level
5. CHOLE BATHURE
Chole bhature is a popular dish in the Indian subcontinent's northern regions. It's a fusion of chana masala and bhatura/puri, a maida-based fried bread. Chole bhature is a popular morning meal that is occasionally served with lassi.
6. TWISTED POTATO
Fried potato twister is the most trending fast food right now in Mumbai. It is a deep fried spiral-cut whole potato on a skewer, brushed with various seasonings such as onion, cheese, or honey. Some varieties have spliced sausages in between.
7. SANDWICH
The Bombay sandwich is a popular and delicious sandwich filled with green chutney and a variety of vegetables. These sandwiches can be found not only on Mumbai's streets, but also in most Indian restaurants, chaat centres, and even tea shops. The majority of people prefer these with a cup of masala chai from India.
8.OMELETTE PAV
Any list about Mumbai street food would be incomplete without our beloved Omelette pav. Masala Omelette pav is a traditional Mumbai street snack that combines the richness of omelettes with the convenience of a sandwich. Omelette is an egg dish that comes in a variety of flavours, and we've got the Indian version here, which is known as "Masala omelette," and each vendor has their own way of preparing it. Perfectly cooked omelettes are sandwiched between buttered and toasted ladi pav to form Mumbai roadside omelette pav. The texture of the Masala Omelette Pav is improved with a dusting of onions, while the flavour is enhanced by a dash of garam masala.
