Since the beginning of this year, my days have been pretty busy. Picking up and dropping off my son at school takes up a good chunk of my day.
The house chores scream my name after I come back home. And cooking, there's no break for it. In between all of this chaos, I try to slide in some online work.
A peaceful walk is not a thing for many, many days.
I feel exhausted and need time to cope with this busy schedule. I don't know how kids never get exhausted. They are super coping, and mine is always playful.
Recently, I dropped my son to a newly opened indoor play zone for an hour. He doesn't also get much time to play at home as he stays in school and his tuition place after school for almost the whole day. So I thought, why not make his day special by taking him to the play zone?
While he was enjoying himself inside, I explored the busy street. Actually, I was feeling hungry and went to find a quick snack. But there are only restaurants, no small carts or outdoor shops to grab something.
This street vendor caught my attention and was selling Velpuri. It's a crispy bread/Puri with a filling of chickpeas, potatoes, and, as you can see, many spices.
One bowl cost only $.20. It was too spicy, and in a hungry stomach, it tasted good.
This is a popular street food in our region. It's not hygienic and will not suit others' stomachs as their system doesn't have the antibodies we build over the year. So avid trying this type of food if you are new and don't want to get sick.
It took me only a couple of minutes to finish the serving. I was looking at the busy street and walking past the street carts. Seems like it's a street market. There were many clothing carts on the side of the road.
I walked around the street for over half an hour, browsed some clothes, did window shopping, and went back to the play zone to pick up my son.
I hope things will improve, the life schedule will go smoothly, and we can readjust everything to make some room for enjoyment.

Thanks for saying so. I know people from our region will love this, though others find it not healthy. I don't mind trying street food every now and then.

Thank you for the information, but in my opinion, traditional food is something that needs to be preserved. Greetings,happy days.

I know, right? Food is usually cheap here. But I wish they were a little healthier and more hygienic so could eat them often.
Have a wonderful day ;)
LUckily back when I travelled i seeme dot have a cast iron constitution I could eat any street fod with no problems, it was only when I moved to NYC and started trying to eat healthy did i initially have stomach issues LOL
Maybe our guts work that way, they cope with the environment and cannot adjust quickly to new things.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Have a good day 🌸🌿🌼
Looks appetizing and nutritious. !LUV

It's not very healthy, but it's sure delicious. Thanks :)
I am yet to find out the difference between Velpuri and Pucchka. Whatever, I like to taste both of it.
Velpuri is thick, and Fucka is lighter; that's the main difference. I too love both of them.
