parathas and all that you could name

Indore Specialties: -

Street food in Indore has not only brought a good business to the city but also provided interesting hang out spots with even more interesting gourmet: Chhappan being one of them.

Poha

Poha, a dish that includes flattened or beaten rice fried with onion, potato and spices and garnished with chopped coriander, onion and sev, is what kick starts the day for the people of Indore. A plateful along with few bites of jalebi and a cut chai (tea) is all that takes to head the day. And despite poha being one of the favourite delights of Madhya Pradesh, Indore yet seems to have a much special and rooted connection with this one.

Khopra Pattis

Chaat is surely on the top cuisine list of almost every Indian, but other than all the various servings of chaat including- dahi puri, sev puri, pani puri, there is one thing that lies exclusively to just Indore- Khopra Pattis. It is not the conventional baked snack stuffed with potatoes inside, as we all may call once for its name, but a coconut and vegetables filled bread ball served with chutney (sausage).

Kachori

Floor made dough balls that are filled with moong dal (lentils) tossed with spices and deep fried. Unlike Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Bikaner that owe their culinary to peas Kachori, Indore inclines to the famous Dal Kachori. Morning to evening- every food stall in Indore would serve fresh and steaming Kachoris, smothering under flavours of chutney.

Corn kees (bhutte ka kees)

Another interesting   from the gastronomic Indore Foodies, is the Corn Kees. Prepared by mashed up corns under sugar and s chillies, tickled with a lemon juice and loaded with taste of Indore, best food in Indore is incomplete without a kiss of Kees.

Indore Mithai

Not just spicy taste buds but also sweet tooth is what best describes the people of Indore. And while every foodie city manages to settle themselves a decent late night food corner, so does Indore. What looks like a bedlam to the jewellery market in the day time, turns being a food hub during midnight hours- Sarafa. This street above all the other in the country makes serving the best food in Indore and to be more specific the best street mithai.

 From Gulab Jamun to Rass Gulla to Makkhan Bada to Malpuhe to moong dal halwa and the notoriously known Jalebi that comes in a king size. Above all the hot stuff, sarafa offers a good deal for summer delights as well including the mouth watering and ever gustatory Faluda kulfi. Rabdi, gazak and ras malai also sizzle the platter well.

Drinks

Food is not the only thing that Indore city makes a name for, it also owes a part to its ineffably tasteful drinks.

Shikanji

Of what comes to any new discoverer, shikanji may come as lemonade, but not all could play that well with titles that way Indore does. A skimmed milk drink that is mixed with dry fruits and served chilled- may come as a disappointment to many for they may never get to try something as tasty as this one ahead.

Pan shake

Another very own invention that is not just gluttonising but as much refreshing as the name sounds to be.

Restaurants in Indore

Indore has something for everyone, and the best part being that it has equally tantalizing options for both non vegetarians and vegetarians. Dal bati makes one of the most enjoyed main course for every one roofed under Malwa region.

Butter khichdi is another everlasting choice on the tongues of hoi polis in Indore. A number of restaurants in Indore entertain a fair number of customers for the same.

Veg lollypop, is another most ordered snack in Indore city and one of the starter you could blindly trust on- for a lot of them are brushed up well on their cook books.

While not being largely inhabited by non veg lovers, meat and chicken are the two most wavered over non veg food types. Fish and eggs and other meat varieties are little behind in the race. With extraordinarily renowned over non veg gourmet, restaurants like- Nafees, Kareems, Kebabs Ville, no one returns home hungry. Biryani being one of the most popular dishes of the city.

Adding masala to every bite in Indore comes to the very old and smacking, sweet and sour, tittering and teasing spice- Jeeravan. A powdered yellow-brown spice made by adding a variety of spices from grand ma’s kitchen. Like china has its ajinomoto, Jiravan speaks for Indore.

There is a lot more than a couple of dishes: varying from taste to taste, and even if you are not one of a food fanatic, this city would turn you in to one.
