The golguppa is a Marathi snack that originated in the state of Maharashtra. Mainly eaten as snacks, it consists of small water hollow “puri” filled with filled with a mixture of spiced masal water.

There are a variety of chaats such as aloo chaat, papri chaat, sevpuri and so on. You can read more about chaats here.

Pav Bhaji is very popular in Mumbai but you can get this in most places in India. It basically consists of bread and called the “pau or pav” with a mix of mashed up vegetables “bhaji”. It started as a quick fix for laborers in 1850’s but it became so popular that people from all walks of life eat it.

Chole Bhature

Although not strictly street food but the best Chole Bhature I had was on the streets. This one is a Punjabi dish that consists of chole or chickpeas and the bhatura which is fried bread. There are slight variations where some bhatures are stuffed with cheese or potato. You’ll find many street side stalls selling the Chole Bhature.

Kachori

The simple Rajasthani snack called the kachori is one of India’s favourite roadside snacks. These are round flattened balls made of fine flour stuffed with vegetables and spices. Some locals might call it dal baati churma, pakores or mawa. People from Delhi like to call them ‘Khasta kachori’ or ‘Raj Kachori’.
