Matar Kulcha is a delicious street food. Indians love their street food! All dishes just taste yummier when it has been made street-style. We love eating momos, chaat papdi, dahi bhalla and pav bhaji. While people assume that the flavour of street food comes from the fact that it is made on the street, but it is actually our emotions towards the food that makes it delicious. The happy memories of eating gol gappe after school, or having momos in the evening, this is what makes us fond of street food.
