Indian street food is a vibrant and essential part of the country’s culinary landscape, offering a diverse range of flavours, textures, and aromas. From the bustling streets of Mumbai to the historic lanes of Delhi, these culinary delights have won the hearts of locals and tourists alike. At Maharaja Farmers Market, we celebrate this rich tradition by bringing you a taste of India. Here are five Indian street foods that everyone must try:
Pani Puri
Pani Puri, also known as Golgappa or Puchka, is a quintessential Indian street food that offers a burst of flavour with every bite. These crispy, hollow puris are filled with a spicy and tangy mixture of tamarind water, chickpeas, potatoes, and spices. The combination of the crunchy puri and the flavorful filling makes for an irresistible treat. At Maharaja Farmers Market, we ensure that our Pani Puri captures the authentic taste of this beloved snack.
Vada Pav
Often referred to as the Indian burger, Vada Pav is a popular street food from Mumbai. It consists of a spicy potato patty (vada) sandwiched between a soft bun (pav) and is usually served with chutneys and fried green chillies. The simplicity and bold flavours of Vada Pav make it a favourite among street food enthusiasts. Our version at Maharaja Farmers Market is made with fresh ingredients and a special blend of spices to deliver the true essence of Mumbai’s street food culture.
Samosa
Samosas are deep-fried pastries filled with a savoury mixture of spiced potatoes, peas, and sometimes meat. These triangular delights are crispy on the outside and burst with flavour on the inside. Samosas are a staple at Indian street food stalls and are often accompanied by mint chutney or tamarind sauce. At Maharaja Farmers Market, we offer samosas that are made with a perfect balance of spices and a crispy golden crust.
Chole Bhature
Chole Bhature is a hearty and satisfying street food dish that consists of spicy chickpea curry (chole) served with deep-fried bread (bhature). This North Indian favourite is known for its rich flavours and is often enjoyed as a breakfast or lunch option. The combination of the soft, fluffy bhature and the spicy chole is simply irresistible. At Maharaja Farmers Market, we prepare Chole Bhature with authentic recipes to bring you a taste of Punjab.
Pav Bhaji
Pav Bhaji is a flavorful and spicy vegetable mash served with buttered bread rolls (pav). This street food originated in Mumbai and has become a favourite across India. The bhaji is made with a medley of vegetables, cooked with spices, and mashed to a smooth consistency. The pav is toasted with butter and served alongside the bhaji, often with a garnish of chopped onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon. Our Pav Bhaji at Maharaja Farmers Market is a tribute to this iconic dish, offering the perfect blend of spices and textures.
