Street Food:Banglore

 

1. Idlis, Vadas, and Dosas

Ask any South Indian what would be their ideal breakfast and they’ll probably say dosa or idli and vada. Made from rice flour and urad dal, these delicacies can be found all over the city from your run-of-the-mill restaurant chains to local vendors in their carts. But forget the restaurants and head to those carts. Just spare anything from INR 25 to 50 and you’ll get a plate of steaming idlis or crisp masala dosas with a side of coconut chutney, red tomato and chilli chutney and Karnataka’s popular sweet sambar.

2. Chaat and Pani Puri

As the sun sets, the streets of Bangalore come alive with exciting food stalls across the city. Though chaat isn’t native to Bangalore, the city loves it. Right from khatta-meetha pani puri to crispy bhel puri, you’ll find these delicious treats in stalls all around the city on cool evenings.  A few chaat varieties to try are dahi puri, aloo chaat, and samosa chaat.

5. Obbattu

Obbattu or Holige is a flatbread dessert like none other. Made from maida and stuffed with a mix of peanuts, sugar, ghee and lentils, this dish is normally made around festivals like Maha Sankranti.
