My street food memories!

Indian Street food is very close to my heart. I think it is because the way me and my mum use to sneak behind my father's back and enjoy eating all the street food until our tummy says no! My father never said no to the street food but he was very much against the hygiene part of it and that's why he preferred that we don't eat too much street food to be sick the next day. But all his warnings fell on our deaf ears.

Fast forward the clock 30 years and now I am running the Street Food of India course +Lucknam Park Hotel cookery school. One of our popular courses, always full and always filled with great energy and fun. There have been occasions where the class has gone quiet while folding the samosas, there have been situations where someone just bit on a very spicy chilli but whatever the occasion it has always been very very positive.

Today was good and the course is getting better and better. Kaathi Kebab, Pani Puri, Bhel, Chicken Tikka, Aloo tikki, Batata Wada are some of the dishes we did at the course. I also managed to show one person how to make a stuff paratha with the batata wada mix. It was all fun. 
Pani Puri
I am going to post the picture of Pani puri which i clicked with my phone. Nothing special and you must have seen it somewhere at some point in your life but this is still the dish which tingles my palate and will be still the dish which will never fail to impress me. You cannot hide in simplicity and this dish is a very good example of that.
