DELHI: THE STREET FOOD CAPITAL




It’s relaxing to dig into polluted pani-puri. The spicy corn and bhel are so tempting. The kachooris, champe are simply mouth fillers
The siren call of the street food means for the modern urbanite to have a break, a smash from discipline of the fashionable life style. There is no letting go of street food. In its excess, it relaxes, anchors us in the moment. Biting into choola- bun, bhel- puri in the street across my various educational institutes in Indian continent has been the ultimate treats. I take pleasure in roadside dhabas more than five star restaurants from my puberty.
Even the dust and the noise are energizing. The vendor hands you a plate and you hand him penny with no bills and no cards to swipe. You can never be too old, too young, and too poor with no cast bar to enjoy it. Standing at the crowd with the weather effect, the hairs tousle the wind or some sweating in summer and your taste bud doing the mercy hop with multitude spices. So, it’s not surprising to see      S-class vehicles or scooters standing behind the row of street food vendors.

The historic and symbolic heart of the city, Old Delhi has street stalls and sweets shops dating back 70, 100, and 200 years, peddling the same popular delicacies now as then: spicy-tangy chaats (snacks), sugary jalebi, smoky mutton kebabs.
