Spicy tea, potato dumplings or grilled chicken Tikka are dishes you should try if you come to Mumbai, a city that represents Indian street food.

1. Masala Dosa

Masala Dosa is the most popular breakfast dish in Mumbai. Dosa consists of a mixture of fermented rice flour mixed with mashed black lentils. When cooking, the chef scoops a thin spoon of dough onto the cast iron pan, coats it with potatoes and onions, then rolls it up. People often cut the cake roll into small pieces to enjoy.

2. Masala chai tea

This drink originated 5,000 years ago in India. First, milk is cooked in a large pot and mixed with sugar and water. Then, the chef puts the tea into the pot of milk and stirs well. Masala means “spicy”. To create Masala flavor, a lot of crushed ginger is dropped into the tea.

Chai Masala is both sweet, fragrant, and spicy. Indians prefer tea to coffee and spicy tea is the most popular street drink in Mumbai.

3. Vada Pav

This is a sandwich filled with mashed potatoes mixed with Indian spices. Vada Pav is considered a type of Indian fast food or hamburger.

Vada Pav was once only for the poor, but over time it became popular everywhere, especially loved by vegetarians.

4. Chicken Tikka

Tikka means “cut”. The chicken is cut into small pieces, removed from the bones and marinated in the sauce in the refrigerator for about 6 hours before grilling. The sauce is made from many secret spices that only chefs know, including green sauce, red sauce, white sauce…

5. Pani Puri

Pani Puri is the name of a unique dessert. Hollow round cakes, stuffed with mashed potatoes and peas inside, fried crispy and golden brown. The chef dips the cake in sweet and sour tamarind sauce and serves it to diners.
