[VIDEOS] Pakistan Street Food versus Indian Street Food

[cricketjoshila]

What kind of oil is used in Pakistan?

Sunflower? Soyabean? Mustard?

Or is it ghee or butter?

 

[MP2011]

Go to a traditional Hindu household in Kerala or attend a Malayali Hindu wedding and you will likely find a variety of vegetarian dishes which most have never heard of. As a North Indian , you probably won't like it because of the liberal usage of coconut .

South India does not have a street food culture like NCR/Kolkata . Even the restaurants in places like Bangalore don't really capture the variety of dishes in the local cuisine of Karnataka .

That's what, the coconut oil preparation. North Indians can never come to terms with a food prepared in coconut oil though. Same was the case with mustard oil not so long ago. However, lot of people have shifted to mustard oil over past few years after hearing it being better for heart as compared to other oils we used to use for cooking like refined, ghee etc.

A curry prepared in mustard oil used to give a bitter smell and taste but gradually (at least quite a few people I know) have gotten used to it. Now we don't even notice it.

I will still say your paratha is damn good.

Is Bun Kebab from Isloo?

Definitely not. Islamabad is too upscale and posh to birth anything as culturally stimulating as Bun Kebab unfortunately.

According to an online source, the origins of Bun Kebab are as follows: "The history of Bun Kabab stalls can be traced back to the 1950’s..." I think it suggests it was in Karachi and by immigrants from Mumbai.

Mustard oil was and is widely used in bengali cuisine. To remove the bitter taste, it needs to be heated properly. More than the usual oil.

Is Islamabad all upscale? I understand its barely 50 years old, but it must have its own street food from migrants.

 

[MP2011]

Bhai i must tell you, everytime i go out to eat in Delhi, i tell them to use less ghee and butter.

And when i say this, they give me the looks as if i have asked them to stop breathing.

Too much ghee and butter is dangerous.

People are now moving towards oil less cooking.

I agree, Delhi food vendors are notorious for excessive usage of ghee and butter. Oil less cooking is great, may not be as tasty but certainly better for heart and tummy.

Even I used to consume a lot of butter (not ghee) but I've stopped consuming it altogether considering the ailments it brings with it especially considering both my parents were heart patients. My Saturdays breakfasts were sorted with 2 big Aloo paranthas, big glass of chas and 2 spoonful of butter, not any longer.

Aloo Paratha with White Butter is love...

Are you Punjabi?

 

[cricketjoshila]

Yes very delicious

We get it here now. Afghans sell it. But surely the original must be far better.

All of them, depends on areas

No, not just Afghans, also local rawalians

 

[MP2011]

Same oil for veg and non veg?

Fights will erupt.

Won't be too sure about this, not any longer. Outside food has become very unhygienic over last few years especially considering the advent of food delivery apps, like Swiggy, Zomato etc. Does anyone has time to segregate the oil used for veg and non veg dishes?

I think its better if we order/eat from pure veg restaurants. At least, there will be satisfaction that no non veg food has touched our food.

True. Now that we have got used to it we pre heat the oil before using it for cooking.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Ok. I am sure you have relatives in Kolkata.

I grew up among Marwaris. Love the veg food.

Dal Bati Choorma is a favourite.

Thats true. We have pure veg food on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We only order from pure veg places.

 

[cricketjoshila]

No, not just Afghans, also local rawalians

Its become so popular here, now restaurants selling it as an appetizer.

 

[MP2011]

Ok. I am sure you have relatives in Kolkata.

Dal Bati Choorma is a favourite.

Don't think so. Most of my relatives still reside in Haryana which is my home state. Quite a few have migrated to Delhi due to better employment opportunities and better standard of living. Of late though, quite a few have shifted to Gurgaon due to its distance from where most of corporates are located.

Also, you may confusing me with someone from Rajasthan Marwari background. I'm from Haryana which has a distinct culture from Rajasthan.

Personally, I don't like Dal Bati Choorma as its too bland for me like most of Rajasthani dishes. Love Rajasthani kalakand and pyaz ki kachoris though.

 

[MP2011]

Also, 1 ingredient to avoid at all costs is Ajinomoto. Its mostly used while preparing Chinese food. Used very extensively in Delhi.

No offence.

You still speak the Marwar language or is it Haryanvi for you?

I understand both. Having grown up amongst them.

 

[globetrotter]

Second this. Dubai is a great great place to sample various cuisines- ind pak southind Mediterranean Italian Mexican- you name it!

In Meena bazar, Bur dubai, there is a Sangeetha restaurant which also serves authentic South Indian cuisine…. Went for lunch there but instead of veg. Thali, I ordered mini tiffin consists of Vada, masala dosa, Upma, Uthappa, Dosa + coffee

 

[globetrotter]

Mumbai street food is amazing too. Vada pav, Pav bhaji, Misal, endless fusion varieties of Dosas, Kheema, kababs et all. Plus amazing varieties of chaats by the seaside. First thing I do when I go back home is grab a vadapav, miss it so much here in the US.

Yes, Mumbai food is really amazing… there are n numbers of food streets (khau gallis). Mumbai is a mini India and u find food from any part of India in Mumbai.

Vada-pav is now a global food, Maharashtrian Missal entered top 10 world food dishes, apart from these there are food like pav Bhajji, Kothimbir Vadi, kanda Bhajji, Piyush, Shrikhand, puran poli, pithala-Bhakari, Gajjar halwa, thakee pith etc are best

 

[MP2011]

Marwaris are all over India. We say, if there's a business opportunity anywhere, there is a Marwari there.

No offence.

None taken. Also, Marwaris are different. Jaiswals, Khandelwals, Lodhas are Marwaris while Guptas, Jaindal, Goels, Mittals, Gargs is the Aggarwal/Gupta clan I belong to.

 

[MP2011]

You still speak the Marwar language or is it Haryanvi for you?

I understand both. Having grown up amongst them.

Strictly Hariyanvi dialect though I'm not very fluent in it due to born and brought up in Delhi.

 

[MP2011]

Blame us for it. Indo Chinese cuisine is an invention of my city.

Now whenever I order Chinese food, I ask the restaurant not to pepper my food with Ajinomoto. Never order from food aggregators like Swiggy and Zomato. Prefer to order it directly.

Maheswaris and Aggarwals you mean

 

[big_gamer007]

Yeah veg is almost certainly halal.

Only way it isn't is if it is cooked in same oils as meat but that's unlikely in India.

It’s quite common in Indian restaurants, the small ones atleast don’t pay attention to these things and since no one goes inside kitchen they use same oil/utenstils etc

 

[big_gamer007]

People don't know that Tamilnadu has very good non veg food.

One of the best, the flavours are worth planning a trip.
Kerala is also good

 

[big_gamer007]

Same oil for veg and non veg?

Fights will erupt.

It’s quite common in small restaurants who practice bad habits to save money

 

[MP2011]

Maheswaris and Aggarwals you mean

Not Maheshwari, Aggarwal

 

[ExpressPacer]

Is Islamabad all upscale? I understand its barely 50 years old, but it must have its own street food from migrants.

Less than what it used to be but there's still, regrettably, a very elitist vibe in the central part of the city - which is what 'Islamabad' really is. Rawalpindi is really close by - almost to the point that they are one city, so there is a beautiful and historic street food scene there.

As far as Islamabad itself is concerned, it lacks street food but the food scene in and of itself is actually pretty good. Some great restaurants and new ones opening all the time. Plenty of cafes opening. For instance, I'm lucky to have tried a lot of different foods around the word but the best New York style cheesecake I've ever had is from Burning Brownie, a local Islamabad cafe.

And yeah, immigrants have brought their street to a limited extent - maybe roll parathas. Probably the biggest ones are the Afghan fries sold in the streets by Afghan refugees.

 

[Red-Indian]

Delhi is king of street food. Kind of variety and taste you get here is second to none.

Agreed. I've eaten street food in virtually every city in India and despite my general dislike for the city, have to concede Delhi has the best overall.

Kolkata's awesome but limited variety
Mumbai is great in terms of variety but seems to be focussed more on Vegetarian stuff and hygiene standards are lower
Chennai is very tasty but basic
Hyderabad street food outside the Old city is essentially 3-4 items though it's developing a healthy Shawarma culture
I'm weakest on Bangalore street food since I've only been on business trips and haven't spent significant time there
Pune where I'm living now is decent but again primarily vegetarian
Honourable mention for Indore. Limited menu but delicious and Sarafa bazaar is a real spectacle at night
Delhi has a bit of everything with various influences from everywhere

I'd love to try Pakistani street food!

 

[Mamoon]

I am born in raised in Islamabad so unfortunately cannot contribute much to this thread. The best thing about Islamabad, I suppose, when it comes to street food, is Savour chicken Pulao and Haleem Ghar ki haleem. But that’s not really street food, is it… @Major - what do you think?

Having said that, I’m a big fan of Arif Chatkhara’s chicken karahi in Lahore. Best Karahi I’ve ever had.

Also love Nisar Charsi tikka in Peshawar. @Mamoon what do you make of it?

Don’t know about Arif Chatkhara but the other places that you mentioned don’t count as street food though.

Pakistani street food, Karachi and Lahore aside, is less varied than India’s but considering the hygiene hazards, it is best to avoid them altogether.

Charsi tikka is good but the hype is excessive because you can get better quality from other less renowned shops. They have huge brand value though.

 

[JaDed]

That's what, the coconut oil preparation. North Indians can never come to terms with a food prepared in coconut oil though. Same was the case with mustard oil not so long ago.

Mustard oil has been used in Punjab for making fish, aloo from ages, I think this issue is only with Delhi overall that considered pure sarson oil as middle class.

It was a staple in our households, it smells yeah but taste is really good.

 

[JaDed]

Chennai has no street food scene, there were fastfood trucks in 1990s but DMK AIADMK closed it favoring restaurants.

 

[Red-Indian]

True. It's very very basic. Probably the worst of all Indian cities.

For me street food is about the spectacle as much as the taste. Dozens (or more) of stalls selling different stuff with hawkers calling out loudly, delicious smells pulling you this way and that, thousands of folk wandering around crowded around this stall or that. That's what makes for a great street food scene. It should be an assault on every sense!

Indore was one of the best experiences for me for that reason. It was way into the night but brightly lit with hundreds of folks wandering around the bazaar. Mohammed Ali road in Mumbai during Ramzan, Parathewali Gali in Delhi etc. etc. are similar experiences.

You should then add Ahmedabad’s Manek chowk to the night market dining scene, which rivals Indore’s Sarafa bazaar. Chappan in Indore is amazing as well for the sweets/ chaats/drinks.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Street food is trash and unhygienic. You might as well eat from a gutter or sewer.

However, tea made with gutter gas is fantastic.

 

[Red-Indian]

Yeah heard about that though I haven't been. Main crib I guess about these places like Sarafa bazaar and Manek chowk is that they're pretty much vegetarian. I like a bit of everything. That's why Delhi wins I suppose.

Mumbai have many non-veg street foods like bade-miyan, Abdul Rehman street, etc

 

[JaDed]

Lazeez was a banger. Not sure it even exists now

My friends told me it’s not there atleast in those locations, I used to crave their paneer tikka rolls.

It used to be near Rex and main restaurant in Commercial.. loved both, they were almost better or on par with Delhi kathi rolls, which I highly recommend if anyone travels to Delhi.

 

[JaDed]

The weakest food item in Delhi: Bhel Puri absolute disaster with so much garlic.

Chennai(biased for raw mango), Kolkata have the best.

Yep. The old Rex theatre doesn't exist anymore either. The food next to it was underrated

 

[Red-Indian]

Mumbai have many non-veg street foods like bade-miyan, Abdul Rehman street, etc

I grew up in Mumbai and worked for 3 years in the Fort area. I've probably eaten at Bade Miyan a million times especially after downing a few at one of the cheap quarter joints in the area. Love the stuff but living in Delhi is what opened my eyes to the range in non-veg street food.

When a Bombay-bred South-Indian boy is forced to grudgingly admit Delhi's superiority in street food, you know it's better.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

do you guys actually like vada pav?

 

[globetrotter]

do you guys actually like vada pav?

Yes …. Have eaten so many types of vadapav since childhood…. The best Vadapav for me are Diwaakar vada-pav (Karjat rly.station) and Kirti college Vadapav.

Tum Kolkata aao asli paneer tikka roll khilate hai. Not copy

 

[MP2011]

do you guys actually like vada pav?

Don't know what the fuss is all about. It's just a aloo pakoda shoved in a bun with lots of chutney.

 

[MP2011]

Paneer tikka roll is different from paneer tikka?

 

[cricketjoshila]

Paw bhaji in Kolkata is very good too.

Yeah, Delhiites don't know how to prepare bhelpuri. Whenever I like to have it, I prepare it at home, much tastier, easier and much more hygienic too.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Paneer tikka roll is different from paneer tikka?

A little bit.

Paneer tikka is used as a filling inside laccha paratha.

 

[Mockingbird]

do you guys actually like vada pav?

Absolutely. Mumbai lives on Vada pav.

Yes …. Have eaten so many types of vadapav since childhood…. The best Vadapav for me are Diwaakar vada-pav (Karjat rly.station) and Kirti college Vadapav.

Honestly, the Kirti college one is overrated (and for that matter so is Sardar Pav Bhaji). My go to for Vadapav is Bhau in Bhandup or Jai Maharashtra in Andheri. Have a lot of memories associated with the Karjat vadapav in relation to college trips

 

[MP2011]

A little bit.

Paneer tikka is used as a filling inside laccha paratha.

Got it. Just love authentic paneer tikka with lots of capsicum.

 

[Red-Indian]

do you guys actually like vada pav?

Most stuff that passes for vada pav is crap. You've got to eat vada pav at the right places in the Mumbai-Pune belt. 2 things are essential for the me in the right vada pav -

1. The batter's got to be really thin...a barely there coating over the patty
2. The red garlic chutney's got to be just right

Karjat is obviously where the best stuff is. The guys at the railway station there have perfected the art but I'll throw in Garden vada pav in Pune.

 

[Red-Indian]

Paw bhaji in Kolkata is very good too.

Pav Bhaji outside Mumbai is terrible in general. I don't bother having it anywhere else in India. You can get the masala right but the problem is the pav. It's got to be flaky thin melt in the mouth. Most other cities use a thick bun while every pav vala in Mumbai can sell a perfect one. It's always a muslim baker for some reason...some specialisation in the trade perhaps.

You should eat the bhaji the gully behind Dalal street. Every vendor claims his grandfather invented it. The story apparently is that when the last mill workers would come in and ask to buy something to eat, there were only leftover vegetables...they cooked them all together, mashed the s...t out of them and voila pav bhaji!

 

[JaDed]

I know Kolkata rolls r amazing

Yes so hard for everyone to understand that the paratha has to be layered lacha not just a general paratha.

 

[JaDed]

I actually like Paav Bhaji in South restaurants, even in Haldirams its good

 

[JaDed]

do you guys actually like vada pav?

It depends upon who makes it, there is garlic chutney(dry) and green chilli fried in them and along with fresh paav then yes.
It’s a joke otherwise

 

[JaDed]

We have all these momos shops but did you guys know its actually called Momo and not Momos, There is no S at the end lol.

I had best Momos in siliguri, fresh and from street vendor.

 

[globetrotter]

What about Missal guys? Which is best? Kolhapur Missal or Puneri missal or Nashik missal or Mamaledar missal? My fav. Mamaledar missal

I agree, the magic is in the Mumbai Pav, you cant replicate it anywhere else. I have had Pav bhaji and vadapav outside Mumbai and everywhere else they suck, because either the pav is too hard or too sweet.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I actually like Paav Bhaji in South restaurants, even in Haldirams its good

What about Chole Bhature, Chole Kulche, Amritsari Kulcha, Rajma Chawal, Kadi Chawal and Chole Chawal?

 

[JaDed]

What about Chole Bhature, Chole Kulche, Amritsari Kulcha, Rajma Chawal, Kadi Chawal and Chole Chawal?

They are already OG of Delhi.. Cholley Bhature so hard to find outside of delhi that taste.
Another is aloo tikki chaat

 

[IAJ]

What about Chole Bhature, Chole Kulche, Amritsari Kulcha, Rajma Chawal, Kadi Chawal and Chole Chawal?

Home made Rajhma chawal one of all time favourites

 

[Dhakar Pola]

I had a buffet iftar in a Pakistani restaurant in Melbourne once. That was my first and last authentic Pakistani food taste. I absolutely loved every dish they served specially the goat curry. I still can't forget that buffet. I do t know why I never got to eat again in any Pakistani restaurant but man I wish to eat again.

Considering street food I really wish to go to India and try every street food there. The street foods I see in YouTube in India are mouth watering. I want to try that nimu pani soda soo much!

In Melbourne one of my Gujrati friends took me to a restaurant, I forgot the name but it was some omlet, might have been Raju ka omlet or something like that. The food was great, my friend showed me a video from Gujrat where this omlet generated, they use butter after butter to fry the omlet and my friend said it's the best omlet in India. Want to try that too when I visit India someday.

Yeah he was Gujrati.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

I personally like the street food of Pakistan but Indian food also looks tempting. The only issue is food hygiene in India which they should imrprove.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Recently had Nihari in Lucknow. Made of mutton. Excellent taste.

People in Delhi should try kharode ka soup during winters. God level comfort food.

In Pakistan, Nihari is mutton or beef?
