Meetha Paan
There are two street foods that I have missed dearly in this Covid-19 struck world - Gol Gappas and Paan.

I have had Sambar from multiple states, including the 4 South Indian states and I must say, they might share geographical boundaries, but definitely not their Sambar recipe. I like the Karnataka… Continue reading Sambar
