Indore's Best Street Foods Under Rs 100!

Tripoto

If you love food, then you must visit Indore's Sarafa Bazar at least once in your life. And when you're there, make sure to try these amazing delicacies, all under Rs 100.

Sarafa Bazar is a gold and silver market by day and a famous night-food market once the sun goes down. This place opens at 9.00 pm and runs till late.

Here are some of the things you must try if you're visiting this place:

Khobara Pattice/ Batala Pattice

The first item on my must-try list is Vijay Chaat House's pattice. The delicious aftertaste will linger on for hours. This place is situated at the entry of main lane. This shop is one of the few that open in the morning, so make sure you reach on time because it closes around 10.00 pm.

Price: Rs 16 per piece

Garadu

This unique and delicious dish is made of fried potatoes sprinkled with lemon juice and other Indian spices. This is known as aloo chaat in other parts of the country. Lot of shops offers varieties of this but I recommend going to the Samosa Corner.

Price: Rs 30 - 40 per plate

Shikanji

In most parts of the country, shikanji is a drink made of lemon juice, water, and sugar. However the shikanji in Indore is completely different. It is a creamy, sweet drink made of a mixture of yoghurt and rabri, giving it a thick consistency and lots of calories. This delicious drink is a great way to beat the heat while walking around the market in Indore.

Price: Rs 30 - 50 per glass

Kachori

Talk about kachori and there's hardly a place better than the streets of Indore to try this mouth-watering dish. In fact, if you're already in Indore, we'd highly recommend visiting must try the special kachori served with very spicy green chutney which is USP of this shop.

Price: ₹50-80 per plate

Poha

Indore has a special relationship with poha and no matter what, you must get a first hand experience of this exotic dish in Indore. Prepared using flattened rice, fennel seeds, and peanuts, poha  is one tempting dish you can have at dirt-cheap prices in the city. And guess what, some shops in Indore just add some jalebi that make it a perfect sweet-salty combo!

Price: ₹80-₹100

Sabudana Khichdi

Sabudana khichdi is a great wholesome meal made of tapioca pearls, spices, potato wafers, pomegranate seeds and a little hint of lemon. It is undoubtedly delicious and quite unlike the same dish which is available in various versions throughout the country.
