Mumbai Foodie Favourites - #Worldchallenge

[FalguniP]

Hello Local Guides

Today I would like to share the reason why I love food so much ?

Aamchi Mumbai (my Mumbai) is known for it’s street food.

You may also see some dishes in other parts of county names as Mumbai style or Bombay special.

We have lanes which are full of food counters/ shops so they are called as khau galli (eatery lane)

Here are some famous khau galli’s in Mumbai:

SNDT Khau Galli

Ghatkopar Khau Galli

CSMT Khau galli

Borivali West Khau galli

Carter road khau galli

Mahim khau galli

Carter road khau galli

Princess Street khau galli

The top most on the list is our very own Vada pav, some call it Indian burger.

Tempered and spiced mashed potatoes coated with chickpea flour and deep fried, place in between bun like bread served with special Red chutney and green chillies it’s spicy and found almost everywhere around Mumbai.

Along with that we have bhajiya (potatoe fitters) pav, onion bhajiya (onion fritters), bread cutlet, samosa and samosa pav which are commonly consumed anytime of the day these food items are best enjoyed in streets

Jumbo king is most famous outlet for vada pav the made it look like a burger as they serve it in burger bun.

The second one is Pav bhaji and Tawa pulao

Pav bhaji is made using potatoes, capsicum, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cauliflower and green peas with a lot of butter and spice and has gravy consistency.

Pulao consists of similar ingredients made with rice.
