This thorough guide provides insights on what, how, and where to eat in India, ensuring you can enjoy your culinary experiences without any concerns.
There is no sincerer love than the love of food.
- GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
That and wanderlust !!! Who doesn't dig traveling, right? But what's the point if your stomach's growling louder than a jet engine and you can't even dive into the local grub? Let me spill the beans โ I'm a Vegetarian So, while I've been trotting across countries, I've practically survived on bread and salads. Talk about a bummer! All those meaty local dishes? Count me out.
And being an Indian, I'm all about that spicy, kick-in-the-tongue kinda food. So, you can imagine my disappointment when all I got was bland leaves and dough. Sure, I did manage to chow down on some Totopos in Mexico and hit up Chipotle in the USA โ shoutout to those Veggie Burritos! But let's face it, most of the time I was just a hungry spectator.
I've seen tons of globetrotters hit the same snag when they visit India โ the food can be a bit too spicy or punchy for their taste buds. It's a real downer to see them end up stuck with McDonalds, Dominos and the likes because they can't handle the desi flavors. I've witnessed countless peeps asking for suggestions or just having a good old rant, so here I am, swooping in to put an end to all your fretting.
In this blog, I'm spilling the beans on some lip-smacking dishes that you won't wanna miss, throwing in some sneaky hacks, and dishing out all the pro tips to make sure your stomach and taste buds are doing a happy dance throughout your stay.
