From the icy peaks of the Kashmir to the backwaters of Kerala, from the sand dunes of the Thar Desert, India is a land of contrasts. With the second largest population in the world, India is a melting pot of cultures.  Each culture brings you its own uniqueness. Being such a large country, it is not only the culture which is different, but also the food.

Here we bring you some of the most loved street food of the country.

Samosa: When we talk about Indian street food, one the first items which comes in our mind is the samosa. It is the favourite street snack across the length and breadth of the country. The crispy brown item is consumed the most during the rainy season. It is generally eaten during the evening with tea.

Chole Bhature: Another favourite food which can also double up as a main course is Chole Bhature. It is generally eaten during the breakfast and is quite popular among the Punjabi people.

Aloo Tiki: No Indian street food list is complete without Aloo Tiki. It is one of the most popular snacks in North India and during the evenings one can find families around an aloo tiki stall, waiting to savour this mouth-watering dish. The snack is made up potatoes and is served with curd and hot and sweet red chutney.

Vada Pav: If you are in Mumbai then you must have the Vada Pav. One of the most popular street foods in Maharashtra, it is literally food on the go. Potato dumplings are put in between bread. It is the Indian version of the burger, and is extremely popular among office goers and college kids.

Pav Bhaji: Another snack coming from the financial capital of India is Pav Bhaji. The bhaji is a mixture of vegetables with mashed potatoes. The bhaji is served with generous amounts of butter and a couple of pavs. It is the ultimate street food.

Momo: The street food which has risen in popularity in India in the recent years is Momo. A Tibetan dish, it is made up of a steamed bun filled with chicken or mutton. It is usually eaten in its steam formed, while some also prefer eating it after frying. Momo has become so popular in India that a momo stall can be found in each city at every corner.
