Whatever your reason for visiting Indore, the food will leave you speechless.

Sarafa Bazaar and Chappan Dukaan are the city's two major hubs, where foodies flock in droves. If you are a die-hard foodie and haven’t planned a trip to Indore yet, then what are you waiting for?

Here, we get you 4 delicious Indori street foods and where to try them.

1. Garadu

This is Indore's take on Delhi's crispy and tangy Aloo ki chaat. Garadu, a yam variant, is diced, fried until golden brown, and then topped with a generous helping of the special masala and lemon juice. It is a winter special street food in Indore and is found in almost all local food stalls across the city. This specialty will surely give you a run for the money.

2. Bhutte ki kees

Bhutta aficionados! Here's a twist on the traditional bhutta that you might not have expected. Bhutte Ki Kees from Indore is made by mashing boiled corn with ghee and then mixing it with spices and besan. We bet you’d never have had this variant of the corn anywhere else in the country.

3. Khopra patties

These khopra patties are made up of perfectly fried potato patties with a coconut filling and a generous helping of tangy chutneys. What makes the dish irresistible is its crunchy texture and spicy flavour. The iconic Vijay Chaat House, one of the best places to eat in Indore, serves these and many other delectable treats at its Sarrafa and Chappan dukan outlets.
