DÜNYA ŞEHİRLERİNDE SOKAK LEZZETLERİ

Mumbai, India

The scene: The only thing more colorful than India’s savory snacks, or chaat, are the hand-painted carts from which they’re sold. Just a few cents buys multi-layered vegetarian delights like vada pav, a spiced mashed potato ball stuffed into a fluffy slider-esque bun smeared with tamarind and/or garlic chutney. If you’re concerned about hygiene, eat only at stands where the vendor prepares the food to order; avoid thin sauces (they may be watered down with contaminated H20), and always carry hand sanitizer.

The dish: bhelpuri, a medley of puffed rice and crispy sev, topped with potato, onion, and tomato, and drenched in yogurt and mint or tamarind chutneys.
