Fried tikkis and samosas for those who like their food greasy, kebabs to whet the craving of rich foods, and chaats for those who like a touch of flavours and spices in every bite. Every city has a repertoire of its own culinary offerings. Mumbai, for instance, is famous for its street foods like vada pao, pani puri and sev puri.

Sev puri is a dynamic mix of sev and an assortment of onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves, diced potatoes and spices like garlic, green chilli and tamarind; served on small, round and crispy papdis. With a topping of sour and sweet chutneys, sev puri turns out to be a heavenly chaat.
