Street food in India is a major Food Group :P ...
When one says street food , the first thing we think of are the Bombay Chats ... Yumm !! no doubt but ....... most of us don't realize that Karnataka has its own version of the Yummy chats ! And the chat culture is alive and kicking!!!
We also have our versions of puris and masalas ... Churmuri,Tikki puri, Boti Masala,Kodbale Masala, Nippat Masala , Tumato Puri [Tomato :P] ... etc etc .. To go with them .. there are all kind of Masala Sodas,Masala Fanta,Masala 7up ... :) Basically a chatpata drink ... How can I forget the Gulkan .... Yummy !!!!!!!!
When I think of yummy churmuri chat , I think of 'Lingannana Angadi' ..... Its a small [matchbox sized] place, near the VVpuram Food Street , on the way to Minerva Circle!! They have been around for generations and o boy can they make the Churmuris :) .... Experts !!
I particularly love their Tikki Puri , its sweet,sour,spicy at the same time !! The taste just explodes in your mouth , to counter it you have carrots and Puri !! I also like their 'Bele Chat' , its yum!! This place is particularly famous for Masala Soda, Gulkan [yummy dish made out of gulkan,banana , butter and Icecream] ... Am particularly fond of Almond toffees there .... its sticky , yummy and filled with goodness ...
Don't expect any kind of sophistication there its a local , small shop , which sells ciggies and chats and cool drinks ... They are fast and efficient and it is ALWAYS crowded !! But its a clean place and the owners are friendly and talkative !!
Cost : ~50 Rs for 2
Experience : Its street food come on ... Priceless !!
