Besides the innumerable dosas and Idlis, the state is renowned for its rich street food culture that comprises a range of deep-fried, salty and sweet snacks. Some must haves...
Also known as Mangalore bajji, goli baje is a fritter made with various flours and yogurt or buttermilk, which gives it a tangy flavour. Pair it with filter kaapi and enjoy.
Crisp patties made with cabbage, lentils and spices. This tea-time snack is an excellent way to use up left-over cabbage.
Similar to bhel puri and jhal muri, it is made with puffed rice, chopped onions, chillies, lime juice, red chilli powder and fresh coriander. A quick, convenient and pocket-friendly street food you must try.
A sweet and soft puri-like snack made with a dough comprising flour, mashed bananas, sugar and a sprinkle of ground cumin. Mangalore buns are best paired with sambar and chutney.
Mashed potatoes rolled into balls, dipped in gram flour batter and then deep-fried. This deep-fried snack is an evening staple and has comfort written all over it.
