We are all fond of street food. From chaats to chole chawal, Indians love to devour a plateful from street-side vendors. Be it for the drool-worthy flavour or the exceptionally low price, street-side food is for the win. While when speaking of street food, we may only think of all the chatpata food and bizarre combinations that are currently taking the internet by storm, there are certain street foods that are fresh, homemade and prepared by a dietitian.
In a recent tale of street food vendors, we came across a doctor who could be seen making and selling fresh homemade dishes on the streets of Mumbai. Sounds a bit surprising, doesn't it?

But in the case of this woman doctor who sells fresh homemade food, there’s nothing like that. Intrigued? Read on.
You might be now thinking what made this doctor sell homemade fresh food.

A nutritionist and dietician by profession, she follows the philosophy that anyone can handle four jobs, so she runs a food stall along with her profession.
