Ang Chong Yi – Explore the Vegan Snacks on Indian Streets
India is known for its rich traditions, cultural variety, and diverse geography, which includes deserts, beaches, mountains, rivers, forests, and wetlands. This varied landscape adds to the uniqueness of the grown food.
Fruits, vegetables, sauces, and cereals have geographical variances. This diversity extends to culinary delights. Each dish offers unique flavors and textures to satisfy any culinary enthusiast’s sensitive taste buds. Here is a small list of Indian vegan snacks:
Pani Puri 

One of India’s most popular street meals is Pani Puri. It is also called in the name of Gol Gappa, Puchka, and Gup Chup. This delicious snack consists of a crispy hollow ball-shaped puri filled with sour water made with herbs, tamarind, fresh mangoes, and other ingredients.

The rounds are filled with spiced potatoes, chickpeas, and onions. These puris are made from a delicately kneaded dough of semolina and all-purpose flour. Pani Puri is a pleasant street food snack that combines crispy puri, spicy filling, and sour water.
Samosas 

Samosas, sometimes called singaras, are cone-shaped flaky pastries made with all-purpose flour and deep-fried to perfection. They are often packed with a spicy potato and lentil mixture, resulting in a savory pleasure.

Undoubtedly, samosas are one of the most well-known Indian foods, appearing on the menus of every Indian restaurant outside of India. These delightful sweets are commonly served with ketchup, tamarind chutney, mint, and coriander chutney.
Momos 

Momos is an Indian variant of Tibetan dumplings made from a steamed or fried maida wrap filled with a lightly spiced mixture of cabbage, green pepper, carrots, and onions. The addition of the momo chutney is what gives this dish its flavor.

The chutney, a spicy blend of tomatoes, ginger, and chile, gives a savory bite and may be modified to suit different spice levels. Momos have become a famous street food in India due to their popularity.
Medu Vada 

Medu is a distinguishing feature of this cuisine. It originated in Karnataka and is now primarily enjoyed in southern India. The batter, made mostly of Urad dal, is high in potassium.

Typically eaten with chutney, the porous and crispy shell of the vada absorbs the flavors, giving it an especially heartwarming and delicious dish. All Indian vegan food has a specific taste.

Dosa

South Indian savory crepes called dosas are made using rice batter and overnight-soaked dehusked black lentils or urad dal. Dosas, often eaten for breakfast, are now quite popular in India and among the most popular street delicacies.

There are many other types of dosas, such as the traditional masala dosa, the delicious potato-filled dosa, and set dosas made with urad dal, poha, and rice. Dosa provides a varied and enjoyable meal when eaten with coconut chutney and a healthy sambar.
