The yummy tangy pav bhavi sold on the food street ( V V Puram) the place for foddies that comes alive evey evening till almost midnight, the real diverse tastes of India in Namma City!

Averebele ( Beans) Jathre…

Jathre meaning festival, this one was special as it revolves around Beans and all the possible food items with core ingredient as “Averebele”.

Averebele is split dried Indian beans / avarekalu / Cow beans. It is such a delicacy back home that during winters (when the vegetable is in season) the vegetable finds its way into practically everything that comes out of the kitchen and celebrated in a focused food festival at famous food street at VV Puram… More photos here..

Bonda, Pakoda, Bhajji…

City weather is always perfect to enjoy hot fried bhajjis and aalo bondas, roadside vendors see lot of demand for this quick favorite snack. The varieties include, potatos, raw banana, mirchi( green chilli) and capsicum to name few, these mouth watering delights seen sold at a roadside shop and people enjoying them hot and crispy!!

Obbattu again….

One recommendation from my visiting guests was to taste the holige / Obbattu. This sweet is prepared with wheat flour ( Maida), grind jaggery,coconut and dal make a fine thick paste which is stuffed insiude the maida roti and served with lots of ghee. The food street came to my recue with hot Obbattu served…

Dosa Anyone??

I am always game for occasion to enjoy hot dosa’s, so are the opportunities that are created. A roadside dosa stall in VVPuram is the place for an early evening grab. The varieties they offer at affordable rates are tasty and interesting compared to other establishments in the city…but anywhere dosa remains a favorite.

Pav Bhaji...

Pav Bhavi, a super duper street food that is one the streets of almost all metros in India, the Bangalore is no exception, There are doubts over which street has the best. I put my vote to few ones here on the food street in V V Puram. The place often makes me nostalgic about Mumbai Vada Pav and Pav Bhaji….

Food Street@VV Puram

Food Street of VV puram was kept on my place-to-visit list for long, despite exactly other side of the city from my residence me and couple friends drove down midst of evening traffic ( oh my!!) and reached the small lane (wiki link here) full of ‘mouthwatering’ choices…. You name it and they seem to have it ‘famous varieties of indian fast food’, I spot one chinease one too selling along Bombay pav-bhavi and vada pav stall there! For foodies this should become on of the ‘must’ places to visit on top of their charts.

All carts, stalls and roadside shops offering variety of fast food open for business from 4pm in the evening till 11pm late night. A delightful and fulfilling was the experience, I must say….
