BANGALORE STREET FOOD at VV Puram Food Street [Amazing INDIAN STREET FOOD in Bengaluru, India]

Join us for another video from our food adventures across India, and today, we’re going to be trying some Bangalore street food at VV Puram Food Street. This particular night market in Begaluru, India features amazing Indian street food for locals and visitors alike. Some of the street food we tried at the night market include thatte idli, pani puri, sugar cane juice, fire pann, gobi Manchurian, potato twisters, nitrogen wafers, chilli corn and obbattu.

In this episode David (https://www.youtube.com/user/Davidsbeenhere) and I we met up with Abhishek (https://www.instagram.com/shekzilla/) who joined us as we went in search of late night eats.

This was such a great place to dive into the street food scene! VV Puram Food Street is lined with food vendors creating an open-air market where you can sample a mix of sweet, savoury, spicy and fiery dishes.

Over the course of the evening we tried:
- thatte idli with coconut and tomato chutney
- floating pani puri, which was a delicious explosion of flavours
- sugar cane juice infused with ginger
- fire pann, which is lit on fire before being shoved into your mouth
- gobi Manchurian, and Indo-Chinese cauliflower dish
- potato twisters coated in spices
- nitrogen wafers that made us look like fire breathing dragons
- chilli corn that kept getting spicier with each bite
- and obbattu, a fluffy pancake drizzled with ghee and cane sugar.

Now let’s kick off this tasty Bangalore street food tour!

BANGALORE STREET FOOD at VV Puram Food Street [Amazing INDIAN STREET FOOD in Bengaluru, India]

As usual, we first scouted out the market to get an idea of the food options and decide what we wanted to eat. It was still pretty early in the night, but the street was buzzing and queues forming around each food stall.

Even though we had been feasting on South Indian food all day, I was feeling hungry and ready for more! We decided on thatte idli for our first dish of the night.

Next up, it was time for floating pani puri - one the most popular dishes available at this street food market.

Pani puri literally means ‘water bread’ and it’s a hollow, ball-shaped, crispy dough that is filled with flavored water, and a mix of tamarind chutney, chili, chaat masala, onions, coriander and chickpeas.

The reason this particular dish has ‘floating’ in its name is because the puris (bread) are floating on a base of pani (water).

Not only is this dish colourful and visually appealing, but it’s also an explosion of flavours and textures that wake up the tastebuds.

It’s spicy, tangy, sweet, and a snack that you can’t get enough of.

One thing that really stood out to me at VV Puram Food Street, is that everyone was so friendly! We’d be standing in line to order food, and people would be offering to give us a taste of their dishes. We ended up chatting with different groups of families and friends, and that made our visit all the more memorable.

The potato twister, or tornado potato, was another fun street food snack to try at the market. This is a deep fried, spiral-cut potato on a skewer, coated in various seasonings and spices. This one in particular brought back memories of the street food in Korea.

And then, we somehow all ended up sharing nitrogen wafers with some really friendly people at the market.

Lastly, it was time to end the night with a little something sweet. Fluffy pancakes were a great idea!
