#1 Vada Pav: Starting the first list is, Vada Pav, which you might often hear being pronounced as Vada Pao. It's one of the top Indian street foods that are available throughout Mumbai's town. It starts from a spicy, smoothly battered potato blend and is deep fried to a crisp. The patty becomes stuffed in a soft white bun and then immersed into a range of very delicious chutneys.
The different chutneys used in Vada Pao (Vada Pav) is the most amazing part of its preparation. When I tasted it, my expression was, “OMG wow!!” It tasted like a salty, minty, spicy, intensely flavored, delicious vegetarian sandwich.
#2 Bhelpuri: Bhelpuri is the ideal beach snack in Mumbai, with a variety of tastes: crunchy, sour, sweet, spicy, sour, and salty, it makes you want to eat more Bhelpuri while hanging out and snacking. Although they are several versions of Bhelpuri, it is usually stuffed rice and Sev (fried tiny crispies prepared from chickpea flour), also mixed up with tomatoes, dhania, onions and an even ration of spicy, salty, and sweet chutneys.
After a bite, it is impossible to stop eating Bhelpuri thanks to its savory taste. Personally, when I eat Bhelpuri, I take lime and squeeze it all over thus making it kind of sweet, savory, and of course crispy. When compared in taste, Bhelpuri is similar to rice crispies but mixed with a variety of Indian spices.
#3 Sev Puri: Mumbai has numerous varieties of Chaats but my favorite is Sev Puri. This Puri is flat and creamy potatoes and onions are used as its toppings, then chili, garlic chutney, and tamarind are used to cover it up, it doesn't end there as chopped bits of sour mango are sprinkled over it and eventually topped with Sev (Cripsy thing noodles) prepared from chickpea flour.
Mainly found in a pack of Sev Puri are onions and potatoes, making it one of my favorite chaats, and it is so creamy that if reminds me of the Guacamole I ate during My Mexico City Tour. Sev Puri burns your throat a little bit going down and then you can taste the sweetness from the chutney. It is so well balanced and that is an awesome snack (crunchy and juicy).
#4 Pav Bhaji: Standing proud as one of the most iconic street foods dominating the streets of India, Pav Bhaji was invented in early 1850 when Indian street food vendors mashed up butter and spices (cumin and turmeric) with leftover assorted vegetables and served with baked bread. Nowadays in the streets of Mumbai, Pav Bhaji is often cooked on an enormous heated griddle with the spices, tomatoes, and potatoes all battered into a puree whirled with butter and water thus making it saucy, and usually served alongside a buttered toasted roll making it a combo of Pao bun and Bhaji (spiced tomato-potato puree).
