STREET FOODS OF INDIA


PHOTO ESSAY: STREET FOODS OF INDIA BY MUSLIM HARJI

After viewing a collection of Muslim Harjis's photos of India's street foods, I was not surprised to read in Via Rail's latest issue of Destinations magazine that Vikram Vij, the man behind Vancouver's iconic formal dining restaurant Vij's, travels to India every year and spends a month in the country discovering the riches and innovations of its street food vendors. Indeed, India's street foods were the impetus and inspiration behind Vij's Railway Express, a food truck in downtown Vancouver that made its debut last summer.
If stomachs rumble with thoughts of innovative curries that are found at Vij's formal and informal eateries as well as his packaged foods now available in Vancouver supermarkets, this piece about India's street foods will take you by storm and become a useful guide should you make a trip to India. Both Muslim and his wife Nevin were tantalized by the variety of foods that they came across during their fascinating eight-week trip to India. In stark contrast to India and other cities around the world – I spent several months in Philadelphia where kababs, fruits and omelets were offered at every downtown corner - I am disappointed that in many Canadian cities including Toronto and Ottawa, food vendors are restricted from offering anything other than potato fries, greasy poutine,hotdogs and the like! There have been numerous columns written in city newspapers on the issue of the lack of a variety in street foods, including a piece in the Ottawa Citizen last year, but city leaders have remained conservative on the matter to the disappointment of local residents and tourists alike.
From chais, curries, and dosas to kulfis, papayas and pans, India has it all. Here is a splendid collection of food photos from Muslim's trip, as we embark on a remarkable journey to learn more about India, its people and places.

India's Street Foods: A Photo Essay by Muslim Harji

We all have enjoyed street food at some point of our lives. Nothing compares to the sheer taste of the simple and variety of food that is made by the street vendors. In many cases I was concerned about the unhygienic conditions and took a chance – and the taste definitely blew me away. So in a sense one can't help but dig in, but for a stranger and first-time visitor caution is to be exercised to some degree. Cleanliness can be determined by watching over the surrounding areas, how the dishes and utensils are cleaned as well as by watching the profile of the customers – – you might be safer with a vendor where there is a presence of adults with their children! From Maharajas to the common man, we found people from all classes and creeds coming together to enjoy these humble, lip smacking creations.
