"Indian fast food" news and stories

I've been trying to force myself out of my chicken tikka masala rut at Indian restaurants. I tried and loved the spiciness of a lamb frankie, bindhi masala (okra), and even some creamy daal (lentils).

Sev puri are small, deep-fried wheat-based crackers or bread (puri) covered with sev, a chickpea based noodle that has also been deep-fried. Sev puri are considered a type of chaat, which refer to small savory snacks that are served from street carts all over India. Puri, which are the crackers, can be topped with a number of fillings to create different kinds of chaat. Bhel puri are filled with puffed rice, pani puri has potatoes, chickpeas, and a number of chutneys on top, and dahi puri is about the same, except with a yogurt sauce.
