Bombay is known for its yummy yummy street food like sev puri, pani puri, bhelpuri (my mouth is already watering), vada pav, pav bhaji, dahi puri....yumm yumm yummm....though nowadays there are chains as well like Kailash Parbat which serve these so called street food and chat items...Kailash Parbat does serve some yummy things but the taste which you will get at those small street-side bhelpuriwalas cannot be matched!! and mind you some of them are very hygenic as well....like this one bhelpuri corner near my place which serves one of the most yummy sevpuri, pani puri, bhelpuri etc....and at a very reasonable price...
And for the foodie that I am, I go there quite often to satisfy my hunger pangs and taste buds and just while I was having some yummy sevpuri last week I tght of sharing some with you guys....but only through pics sadly :)
 |
| Its topped with some yummmy kacchi kairi & chana dal :) |
 |
| Yummy Yummy...isnt it |
And they pack you some sukha sev-kurmura along with your items....
There are some variants of sevpuri in other parts of India like the papdi chaat in Delhi which is equally yummy too but like a true mumbaikar for me sev puri rocks!!
I hope u guys enjoyed the virtual sevpuri I served....
You made me so hungry HD :(

I used to have a fav sev puri wala - he was in that lane next to kafi azmi park opp. Big B's bungalow. I used to go there quite often, but then one day that road was dug up & closed for repairs for like a year (yea, the story of Bombay) and I never saw him again.. This post just reminded of that yummy sev puri.. *sigh*.
