The quality and sheer diversity of street food available in India is arguably unrivalled. You\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a street corner that doesn\u2019t have someone selling some form of food, especially in bigger towns and cities. And whilst their stalls may appear modest, don\u2019t be fooled, some of the top Indian street vendors have a national and even international fanbase that keeps people queuing down the street from dawn until dusk. Or at least until all the samosas, idli cakes and sambar have gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
