Food from Indian Streets....
Indian street foods are famous in all over world. Street food is food obtainable from a street-corner vendor, typically from a make shift or portable stall. While most street foods are regional, many are not, having spread beyond their region of origin. Most street food is both finger and fast food. Food is typically available on the street for a fraction of the cost of a restaurant meal. Therefore, a large portion can be eaten for a low price.
