My first job was writing for one of India's leading interior design magazines at the time - Inside Outside. I was only 20 and loved it! Not just because I worked with an awesome team, had a really great boss and got to work in the City, but because the city I got to work in was Bombay (ok for purists, Mumbai). The buzz and hustle-bustle of this 'megatropolis' (I just made up that word) is like nothing in the world! Bombay gets under your skin and it's hard not to fall in love with it. One of the major factors in my love affair with Bombay was the food... mainly the street food or fast food! In my opinion, it is to die for! Many a lunch break did I spend standing at some street corner or with friends in some Khaoo-galli (food street) sampling things. Ok, enough reminiscing...
India's vibrant street food culture has only grown over the years, with scores of vendors busily stirring things up for their eager customers. I call the tasty dishes they cook fast food not only because they can be prepared quickly but also because they are in fact, the Indian equivalent of Western fast food. Take a look.
