Popular Mumbai Street Food recipes, Mumbai roadside recipes. I’m quite passionate about eating out… and this means everything from sophisticated food from high-end restaurants to greasy, spicy street-food. Street food is extremely popular in Mumbai, mainly because you can have a wholesome meal at half the price of any comparable dish in a restaurant. Be it breakfast, snacks or even junk food, these can be purchased on any foot path, beach-side or road corner.

Khaugallis are an integral part of Mumbai street food

Khaugallis are an integral part of Mumbai. For the uninitiated, in Marathi, khau means treat and galli means a small lane. They have a large variation  of every dish, each prepared more temptingly than the other. Those who have not tasted this, fussing about hygiene and nutritive value, have really missed something good in life.

The Khaugallis at Ghatkopar, Zaveri Bazar, SNDT- cross maidan and Mohammad ali road are few popular places to indulge into street food that is freshly prepared right in front of your eyes with enticing aromas. In fact, some of the vendors gain such a reputation for their snacks that people will journey far to experience the food from a specific vendor.

Whether it is a good old lazy Sunday, a festive season or simply a normal working day, the street side is always packed with hungry people waiting for more. Smartly-dressed guys in ties and formals will be relishing pani puri, right next to a rikshah-wala enjoying the dish with equal gusto! Rich and poor of all ages forget their differences and enjoy the feast, not bothering overly about sophistication, ambience and other niceties.

It is not surprising that anything innovatively presented or made in a jiffy at a moderate price and proportion works well in Mumbai. Be it aloo parathas, zunka bhakar, bhurji pav, chila or even a mobile tea-coffee wala who caters to our needs on a cycle, they all have something to offer!

Mumbai street food has changed

Like most things, street food in Mumbai has also undergone changes. For ages, it was ruled by the vada pav and dosas, along with the standard cutting chai, bhel and bun maska, bhel accommodated variations such as Chinese bhel and corn bhel.

New wonders like Frankies, khichai papad and grilled sandwiches found a place on the streets of Mumbai. Just like the city that expands to accommodate anybody who comes to it with hope, the city’s street food scene has also adapted, imbibing the best of several cuisines from Western to Oriental!
