Food simply means scrumptious dishes in Bombay. The Chaupati Beach always reminds one of the lip-smacking 'Bhel Puri', a fast-food made of puffed rice, with lots of chillies, sauces and chopped onions. A typical Bombay platter consists of curries, rice, curd, chapattis, vegetable, salad, sweets etc. In fact, platter system is quite prevalent in the city and makes the most-preferred meal, seeing that it contains the all-inclusive diet of an individual.
The traditional food of Bombay is just awesome. Bombay's dishes like Bombil Batata Bhaji, Kamag Kakri, Solachi Kadhi etc, are famous all over India. Here, people enjoy their own variety of fast-food, which ranges from Bhel Puri to Pav Bhaji and Vada Pav to Pani Puri. Most of these snacks are really hot and spicy, which would certainly tickle your taste-buds. Vada Pav, the hamburger of Bombay, is a deep fried cutlet made of potatoes inside round-shaped bread.
Pav Bhaji and Pani Puri are the most loved snacks amongst most of the Indians. Where Pani Puri is puffed puris filled with sprouts and potatoes, Pav Bhaji is made of vegetables and is eaten with round-shaped bread. Chidva or flattened rice cooked with spices and vegetables is another great recipe from the capital of Maharashtra. Shrikhand, Shira, Chikki and Puran Poli are its famous desserts that are appreciated round the world.
