Dabeli, a symbol of Gujarat
Dabeli, a perfect blend of sweet and spices, is a well-known street food option of Gujarat, more prominently of Kutch. It is a different type of Vada pav, stuffed with mashed potatoes, pomegranate, and some special chutneys based on garlic and tamarind. To add some special crunch, a few gathia are sprinkled over the preparation. So, all you need to do is just enter Gujarat, and you’ll be able to have it in every big and small lane.
Have the best Fuchka ever in West Bengal
Though it is available in most of the renowned cities in India in different tastes and styles, West Bengal seems to be the native of Puchka. Crunchy fried balls are stuffed with mashed potatoes and tasty spices and soaked in tamarind water. The taste and variety of Puchka that you can find in Bengal are hardly available anywhere. Doi fuchka, special fuchka, chutney fuchka are some of the special kinds. You can also find Puchka in different states like Gujarat, Delhi, and Maharashtra in the names of Golgappa, Pani Puri, or Geela Bhel, but don't forget to try the Bengali style Puchka.
Chhole Bhature, the love of Punjab
Are you from Punjab? Then, Chhole Bhature will definitely make you crazy. The combination of hot and fluffy bhatura with tasty and spicy chhole is the love of every foodie. You can easily find plenty of street food stalls in Punjab offering this with great delight. It is often paired with a heavy glass of cold lassi, which is typically a Punjabi choice.
Misal Pav, the attraction of Maharashtra
Like Chhole Bhature, it is also served with a delicious curry made of sprouts and soft and toasted pav (bread). Though it is widely a Maharashtrian choice, the entire nation craves it.
